Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request

Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a list of information collection
requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these documents, call
the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (301) 443-7978.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology.

Proposed Project

Evaluation of the HHS Access to Community Care and Effective
Services and Supports (ACCESS) Program--0930-0164--Revision--The Center
for Mental Health Services (CMHS) is seeking OMB approval to expand
this evaluation study that is assessing service systems integration
(SI) approaches for homeless persons with severe mental illnesses. The
expansion is for conduct of 18 month follow-up interviews on the fourth
cohort of homeless clients, a fourth wave of interviews with providers
of services to homeless persons, and state and local level
implementation data from the project staff. SI sites will be contrasted
with comparison sites to assess the long-term impact of SI. Case
studies will describe approaches to SI, processes by which SI takes
place and factors that influence SI. The table below summarizes the
annualized burden for this project.
