FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
Federal Open Market Committee;
Domestic Policy Directive of March 17
and 18, 2009
In accordance with § 271.25 of its
rules regarding availability of
information (12 CFR part 271), there is
set forth below the domestic policy
directive issued by the Federal Open
Market Committee at its meeting held
on March 17 and 18, 2009.1
The Federal Open Market Committee
seeks monetary and financial conditions
that will foster price stability and
promote sustainable growth in output.
To further its long–run objectives, the
Committee seeks conditions in reserve
markets consistent with federal funds
trading in a range of 0 to 1⁄4 percent. The
Committee directs the Desk to purchase
GSE debt GSE–guaranteed MBS, and
longer–term Treasury securities during
the intermeeting period with the aim of
providing support to private credit
markets and economic activity. The
timing and pace of these purchases
should depend on conditions in the
markets for such securities and on a
broader assessment of private credit
market conditions. The Committee
anticipates that the combination of
outright purchases and various liquidity
facilities outstanding will cause the size
of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet to
expand significantly in coming months.
The Desk is expected to purchase up to
$200 billion in housing–related GSE
debt by the end of this year. The Desk
is expected to purchase at least $500
billion in GSE–guaranteed MBS by the
end of the second quarter of this year
and is expected to purchase up to $1.25
trillion of these securities by the end of
this year. The Committee also directs
the Desk to purchase longer–term
1 Copies of the Minutes of the Federal Open
Market Committee at its meeting held on March 17
and 18, 2009, which includes the domestic policy
directive issued at the meeting, are available upon
request to the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, Washington, D.C. 20551. The
minutes are published in the Federal Reserve
Bulletin and in the Board’s annual report.

Treasury securities during the
intermeeting period. Over the next six
months, the Desk is expected to
purchase up to $300 billion of longer–
term Treasury securities. The System
Open Market Account Manager and the
Secretary will keep the Committee
informed of ongoing developments
regarding the System’s balance sheet
that could affect the attainment over
time of the Committee’s objectives of
maximum employment and price
stability.
By order of the Federal Open Market
Committee, April 9, 2009.

Secretary, Federal Open Market Committee.

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

information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the

other forms of information technology.
Proposed Project: Jail Diversion and
Trauma Recovery—Priority to Veterans
Program Evaluation—(OMB No. 0930–
0277)—Revision
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration’s
(SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health
Services (CMHS) has implemented the
Targeted Capacity Expansion Grants for
Jail Diversion Programs, and the Jail
Diversion and Trauma Recovery
Program represents the newest cohort of
grantees. The Program currently collects
client outcome measures from program
participants who agree to participate in
the evaluation. Data collection consists
of interviews conducted at baseline, 6and 12-month intervals.
The current proposal requests:
1. Substituting CMHS NOMS items
for GPRA items. At the time of the
previous OMB submission, the NOMS
measures were not finalized.
2. Replacing the DC trauma Screen
with a new set of traumatic event
questions. The new trauma questions
better reflect the experiences of the
target population.
3. Replacing the Colorado Symptom
Index with the BASIS 24.
4. Adding questions related to
military service experience at the
baseline. These items will be added to
capture characteristics of the target
population of the new grantee cohort,
veterans.
5. Adding questions on military
combat experience at the six month
interview only. These items will capture
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the types of traumatic experiences
among clients with a combat history.
6. Adding questions on lifetime
mental health/substance use and service
use and the CAGE to the baseline. These
questions will be added to capture
client’s history of involvement with
mental health and substance abuse
systems, and the four CAGE items assess
alcohol dependence.
7. Adding several lifetime criminal
justice questions. These questions will
assess client’s lifetime involvement with
the criminal justice system.
8. Adding the Recovery Enhancing
Environment (REE) instrument to all
interviews. The REE is a consumer
oriented measure of recovery, a new and
important program outcome.
9. Removing the MacArthur Perceived
Coercion Scale from all instruments.
10. Removing the Mental Health
Statistics Improvement Program
questions from follow-up interviews.
(These are replaced by a similar, but
shorter, NOMS scale.)
The NOMS measures that are
proposed for substitution of the GPRA
measures have the same administration
time and do not lengthen the interview.
Two of the proposed additions (the REE
and the lifetime MH/SA) will add 5
minutes each and the criminal justice
questions will add 3 minutes. The
military service questions will add an
average of 4 minutes, as not all
respondents are expected to answer
these questions because grantees may
serve non-veteran clients. The removal
of the MacArthur Coercion Instrument
reduces the baseline interview by 5
minutes and removal of the MHSIP
reduces the follow-up interview by 5
minutes. The net lengthening of the
instrument is 12 minutes for the
baseline interview, and there is no net
increase in length to the 6- and 12month interviews.
The Program also collects data on
program participants from records. The
revisions to these instruments are
formatting in nature.
New grantees were awarded on
September 30, 2008 under the Jail
Diversion and Trauma Recovery
Program will commence data collection
efforts in FY 2009; anticipated grantees
awarded on September 30, 2009 would
commence data collection in FY 2010;
and anticipated grantees awarded on
September 30, 2010would commence
data collection in FY 2011. The
following tables summarize the burden
for the data collection.
