Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
In compliance with Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 concerning
opportunity for public comment on
proposed collections of information, the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA)
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
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.
Project: Measures of Co-Occurring
Infrastructure (OMB No. 0930–0284)—
Extension
This notice is a request to extend data
collection for SAMHSA’s Center for
Mental Health Services and Center for
Substance Abuse Treatment providerlevel performance measures about the
screening, assessment, and treatment of
co-occurring disorders. The measures
were developed with active input from
COSIG grantees. Their input was also
sought regarding suggestions for making
the implementation and reporting
processes as smooth as possible. Based
on suggestions from COSIG grantees,
CSAT has taken the following actions to
improve data quality: clarified
instructions, simplified minimum
required reporting, developed optional
reporting methods, allowed grantees
time to work out internal processes, and
held monthly conference calls to answer
grantee questions and to allow grantees
to share experiences with
implementation. These steps allow
CSAT to enhance working relationships
with the grantees and improve the
overall quality of the data collection
process.
Implementation will be limited to 15
current States with Co-occurring State
Incentive Grants (COSIG) and States
receiving COSIG grants in future years.
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. The COSIG program is part of
SAMHSA’s plan to achieve certain goals
regarding services for persons with cooccurring 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.
These measures will enable SAMHSA
to benchmark and track progress toward
these goals within COSIG states.
Information will be collected annually
about 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.
Information will also be collected
annually about providers’ policies
regarding screening, assessment, and
treatment services for persons with cooccurring disorders.
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
Number of
respondents
Data collection
questionnaire will require respondent
providers to track screening,
assessment, and treatment services for
clients.
COSIG States will be required to
report 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. Annual burden for the activities

This data is also used to locate the
debtor’s assets if the debts are sent for
judicial enforcement.
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households.
Number of Respondents: 1000.
Estimated Time per Respondent: .75
hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
