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. Proposed Project Survey of EvidenceBased Practices in State Medicaid Plans: Coverage Structures, Access and Challenges—NEW The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is conducting a survey to gather information about current and planned State Medicaid activities and policies related to six mental health/ substance abuse evidence-based practices (EBPs). This survey is part of a five-year project to increase attention to and understanding of Medicaid mental health and substance abuse service issues among State Medicaid and Mental Health/Substance Abuse Directors, as well as improve the effectiveness of State Medicaid mental health services. The purpose of the survey is to determine the overall management and delivery of mental health and substance abuse services within Medicaid and the use of six specific evidence-based practices. The information provided through the survey will be vital to increasing awareness and understanding of Medicaid mental health/substance abuse evidence-based practice activities. This information will also be used to develop numerous products to help State Medicaid and Mental Health/ Substance Abuse Directors adopt, deliver, and refine existing policies about mental health and substance abuse EBPs. A survey will be sent to the director of each State Medicaid office in the 50 States and the District of Columbia, with responses expected over a four-week period. The survey contains a total of 116 questions on the overall management and delivery of mental health and substance abuse services within Medicaid and on the implementation of six EBPs within the State Medicaid program. However, respondents will complete part or all of the survey, depending on how many of the six EBPs are being implemented in their State. The survey will be sent electronically to State Medicaid Directors, and they may respond by email or facsimile. To reduce burden, prior to administering the survey several survey questions will be pre-completed based on existing information, as available.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, (Pub. L. 111–5) provides an additional $2 billion for the Child Care and Development Fund to help States, Territories, and Tribes provide child care assistance to low income working families. CCDF Program Instruction (CCDF–ACF–PI–2009–03) provided guidance on ARRA spending requirements. Section 1512 of the ARRA legislation requires recipients to report quarterly spending and performance data on the public Web site, ‘‘Recovery.gov’’. Federal agencies are required to collect ARRA expenditure data and performance data and these data must be clearly distinguishable from the regular CCDF (non-ARRA) funds. To ensure transparency and accountability, the ARRA authorizes Federal agencies and grantees to track and report separately on expenditures from funds made available by the stimulus bill. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance implementing the ARRA legislation indicates that agencies requiring additional information for oversight should rely on existing authorities and reflect these requirements in their award terms and conditions as necessary, following existing procedures. Therefore, to capture ARRA expenditures, the ACF– 696 has been modified (by the addition of a column) for reporting ARRA expenditure data. In addition, a new data element will ask States and Territories to estimate the number of child service months funded with ARRA dollars. The collection will not duplicate other information.

    Title: Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Financial Report, 
Form ACF-696 (States and Territories).
    OMB No.: 0970-0163.
    Description: States and Territories use the Financial Report Form 
ACF-696 for reporting Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) 
expenditures. Authority to collect and report this information is found 
in Section 658G of the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 
1990, as revised. In addition to the Program Reporting Requirements set 
forth in 45 CFR Part 98, Subpart H, the regulations at 45 CFR 98.65(g) 
and 98.67(c)(1) authorize the Secretary to require financial reports as 
necessary.
    The form provides specific data regarding claims and provides a 
mechanism for States to request Child Care grant awards and to certify 
the availability of State matching funds. Failure to collect this data 
would seriously compromise ACF's ability to monitor Child Care and 
Development Fund expenditures. This information is also used to

    The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, (Pub. L. 
111-5) provides an additional $2 billion for the Child Care and 
Development Fund to help States, Territories, and Tribes provide child 
care assistance to low income working families. CCDF Program 
Instruction (CCDF-ACF-PI-2009-03) provided guidance on ARRA spending 
requirements.
    Section 1512 of the ARRA legislation requires recipients to report 
quarterly spending and performance data on the public Web site, 
``Recovery.gov''. Federal agencies are required to collect ARRA 
expenditure data and performance data and these data must be clearly 
distinguishable from the regular CCDF (non-ARRA) funds. To ensure 
transparency and accountability, the ARRA authorizes Federal agencies 
and grantees to track and report separately on expenditures from funds 
made available by the stimulus bill. Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) guidance implementing the ARRA legislation indicates that 
agencies requiring additional information for oversight should rely on 
existing authorities and reflect these requirements in their award 
terms and conditions as necessary, following existing procedures. 
Therefore, to capture ARRA expenditures, the ACF-696 has been modified 
(by the addition of a column) for reporting ARRA expenditure data. In 
addition, a new data element will ask States and Territories to 
estimate the number of child service months funded with ARRA dollars. 
The collection will not duplicate other information.
