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

Proposed Project: SAMHSA Fetal
Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Center for
Excellence Project CHOICES
Evaluation—New
Since 2001, SAMHSA’s Center for
Substance Abuse Prevention has been
operating the SAMHSA Fetal Alcohol
Spectrum Disorders (FASD) Center for
Excellence. The purpose of the FASD
Center for Excellence is to prevent and
improve the treatment of FASD. Some of
the activities of the FASD Center
include providing training, technical
assistance, and subcontracts to increase
the use of effective evidence-based
interventions.
The FASD Center will be integrating
the Project CHOICES program through
service delivery organizations and will
be evaluating the results. Six sites will
implement Project CHOICES with
nonpregnant women 18–44 years who
are sexually active and who are
participating in alcohol treatment
(residential or outpatient) or in drug
treatment (if the women also use
alcohol). Women in substance abuse
treatment will be screened and those
women that meet the above description
will be provided four Motivational
Interviewing (MI) sessions (related to
alcohol use), plus one contraceptive
counseling session. The goal is to help
these women prevent an alcoholexposed pregnancy by abstaining from
alcohol and using contraceptive
methods of their choice consistently and
correctly.
At baseline, an assessment tool will
be administered by the counselor to
assess drinking, sexual activity,
contraceptive use, and demographic
information. At the end of the program,
women are assessed on their alcohol
consumption and contraceptive use in
the past 30 days. At 6 months and 12
months after the end of the program,
women are assessed on alcohol
consumption and contraceptive use
using the same core assessment tool
used at baseline. All participating sites
will maintain personal identification on
their clients for service delivery
purposes but no such information will
be transmitted to SAMHSA.
The data collection is designed to
evaluate the implementation of Project
CHOICES by measuring whether
abstinence from alcohol is achieved and
effective birth control practices are
performed. Furthermore, the project will
include process measures to assess
whether and how the intervention was
provided.

Pursuant to the savings clause in the
Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public
Law 107–296, Section 1512, 116 Stat.
2310 (November 25, 2002), the DHS and
its component agency ICE have relied
on preexisting Privacy Act systems of
records notices for the collection and
maintenance of records pertaining to
information received from confidential
and other sources. As a law enforcement

maintains information regarding
possible violations of law from a

number of sources, including
confidential sources, State, local, tribal
and Federal law enforcement agencies,
and members of the public. As part of
its efforts to streamline and consolidate
its record systems, DHS is establishing
a component system of records under
the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) for ICE
to cover these records. This new system
of records will allow ICE to collect and
maintain records concerning the
identities of and information received
from documented confidential sources
and other sources who supply
information to ICE regarding possible
violations of law or otherwise in
support of law enforcement
investigations and activities.
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, DHS is giving notice that it
proposes to consolidate three legacy
record systems: Treasury/CS.053
Confidential Source Identification File
(66 FR 52984 October 18, 2001),
Treasury/CS.058 Cooperating Individual
Files (66 FR 52984 October 18, 2001),
and Treasury/CS.122 Information
Received File (66 FR 52984 October 18,
2001), into a DHS/ICE system of records
notice titled, United States Immigration
and Customs Enforcement Information,
and Confidential Sources. Categories of
individuals, categories of records, and
the routine uses of these legacy system
of records notices have been
consolidated and updated to better
reflect the DHS/ICE Information, and
Confidential Sources record systems.
Additionally, DHS is issuing a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)
concurrent with this SORN elsewhere in
the Federal Register. The exemptions
for the legacy system of records notices
will continue to be applicable until the
final rule for this SORN has been
completed. This system will be
included in the Department’s inventory
of record systems.

information principles in a statutory
framework governing the means by
