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.
serious emotional disturbances. Under
these provisions of the law, States may
receive allotments only after an
application is submitted and approved
by the Secretary of the Department of
Health and Human Services.
For the FY 2009–2011 Community
Mental Health Services Block Grant
application cycle, SAMHSA will
provide States guidance and
instructions to guide development of
comprehensive State applications/plans
and implementation reports. In order to
develop this guidance, SAMHSA
convened a working group of State
representatives to provide input and
suggestions regarding the organization
and content of the guidance. To the
extent possible, these suggestions were
incorporated into proposed revisions for
the 2009–2011 application cycle. These
proposed revisions to the guidance
include:
(1) Streamlining the process for
reporting States’ use of the block grant
to support mental health transformation.
Revisions to the FY2008 guidance
required a new request for information
regarding funding for mental health
transformation. A number of States
indicated that their fiscal processes did
not permit reporting in the manner
requested. Other States suggested that
the reporting burden was significantly
increased while the information
provided did not accurately reflect the
range of transformation activities they
were engaged in.
This issue was the principal focus of
the State working group, and the
proposed FY2009–2011 guidance makes
significant revisions based on the input
of the group. The revisions include
narrowing from 20 to six (6) the number
of transformation categories for which
States are asked to provide the amount
of block grant funding used to support
specific activities in FY2009. The new
Table C which States are requested to
complete follows:
Column 1
Column 2
Is MHBG funding used to support
this goal? If yes, please check.
If yes, please provide the actual or
estimated amount of MHBG funding that will be used to support this
transformation goal in FY2009.
