will publish periodic summaries of
proposed projects. To request more
information on the proposed projects or
to obtain a copy of the information
collection plans, call the SAMHSA
Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276–
1243.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collections of information
are 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

Proposed Project: Co-Occurring
Infrastructure Measures—NEW
SAMHSA’s Center for Mental Health
Services and Center for Substance
Abuse Treatment will implement
provider-level performance measures
about the screening, assessment, and
treatment of co-occurring disorders.
Implementation will be limited to the 15
current States with Co-occurring State
Incentive Grants (COSIG), and States
receiving COSIG grants in 2006 and
future years. SAMHSA anticipates
awarding two COSIG grants in 2006.
COSIG grants enable States to develop
or enhance their infrastructure and

capacity to provide accessible, effective,
comprehensive, coordinated/integrated,
and evidence-based treatment services
to persons with co-occurring substance
abuse and mental disorders. Only the
immediate Office of the Governor of
States may receive COSIG grants,
because SAMHSA considers the Office
of the Governor to have the greatest
potential to provide the multi-agency
leadership needed to accomplish COSIG
goals. COSIG grantees may use COSIG
grants to improve service systems in one
or more of five areas: Standardized
Screening and Assessment, Licensure
and Credentialing, Service Coordination
and Network Building, Financial
Planning, and Information Sharing. The
COSIG program is part of SAMHSA plan
to achieve certain goals regarding
services for persons with co-occurring
substance use and mental disorders:
• Increase percentage of treatment
programs that screen for co-occurring
disorders;
• Increase percentage of treatment
programs that assess for co-occurring
disorders;
• Increase percentage of treatment
programs that treat co-occurring
disorders through collaborative,
consultative, and integrated models of
care;
• Increase the number of persons
with co-occurring disorders served.
The proposed measures will enable
SAMHSA to benchmark and track
progress toward these goals within
COSIG states.
Information will be collected annually
about providers’ policies regarding
screening, assessing and treatment
services for persons with co-occurring
disorders; the number and percentage of
programs that offer screening,
assessment, and treatment services for
co-occurring disorders; and the number
of clients actually screened, assessed,
and treated through these programs.
A questionnaire, to be completed by
providers, contains 47 items, answered
either by checking a box or entering a
number in a blank. The questionnaire is
available both in printed form and
electronically. Obtaining the
information to enter on the
questionnaire will require respondent

providers to track screening,
assessment, and treatment services for
clients.
COSIG States will be required to
report aggregated information to
SAMHSA for all providers directly
participating in their COSIG projects.
Samhsa will consider sampling
strategies for states with large numbers
of participating providers and for
providers serving large numbers of
clients.
