Interested persons are invited to send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including any of the following subjects: (1) The necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for the proper performance of the agency’s functions; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology to minimize the information collection burden.

The UDS is the regular system for reporting program management and performance data for all OMH-funded activities. The modifications to the UDS requested in this application are intended to: (1) Accommodate grant programs that were not required to use the UDS at the time the system was developed; and (2) continue the development of the UDS as a reporting system that will capture the types of data needed to identify best practices and assess the progress of OMH-funded activities. The UDS has been implemented with 8 sets of grantees and cooperative agreement partners from 5 OMH funding programs. The recommended modifications will allow reporting by OMH partners receiving funding through the State Initiative and Umbrella Cooperative Agreement programs. These changes will improve OMH evaluation and planning capacities and support program accountability. Frequency: Reporting Semi-annually. Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions.
