prior to disclosure, the agency
determines that the records are both
relevant and necessary to the litigation
and the use of such records by the DOJ
is therefore deemed by the agency to be
for a purpose that is compatible with the
purpose for which the agency collected
the records.
12. Disclosure may be made to a court
or other tribunal, when: (a) The agency
or any component thereof; or (b) any
employee of the agency in his or her
official capacity where the DOJ has
agreed to represent the employee; or (c)
the United States Government is a party
to the proceeding or has an interest in
such proceeding and, prior to
disclosure, the agency determines that
the records are both relevant and
necessary to the proceeding and the use
of such records is therefore deemed by
the agency to be for a purpose that is
compatible with the purpose for which
the agency collected the records.
2. Procedural safeguards: Access is
strictly controlled by the system
manager and the Director, ORI, in
compliance with the Privacy Act and
this system notice. Access to the records
is limited to ensure confidentiality. All
questions and inquiries from any party
should be addressed to the system
manager.
3. Physical safeguards: ORI records
are kept in locked file cabinets in a
room that is locked during non-working
hours. Access to this room is restricted
to specific personnel. The ORI office
suite is protected by access and
intrusion alarms at the front and
emergency entrances. Access to
computer files is strictly limited through
passwords and user-invisible
encryption. Special measures
commensurate with the sensitivity of
the record are taken to prevent
unauthorized copying or disclosure of
the records.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING,
RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND
DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
The files are retained and disposed of
in accordance with the General Records
Schedule (accessions) and a disposition
schedule approved by the National
Archives and Records Administration
(cases).
STORAGE:
Records are stored in file folders,
electronic and magnetic media and
other types of data storage devices.
SYSTEM MANAGER AND ADDRESS:
RETRIEVABILITY:
Records are retrieved by manual or
computer search of the case-tracking
system using the name of the
respondent(s) (i.e., the individual or
individuals who are the subject of an
allegation of research misconduct or of
a research misconduct proceeding).

SAFEGUARDS:
1. Authorized users: Records are
available to the system manager, to the
Director, ORI, and to other appropriate
ORI staff when they have a need for the
records in the performance of their
duties. Records are also available to the
head of intramural research for the PHS
agency involved, and to other
appropriate HHS officials, including
attorneys in the Office of the General
Counsel, the Agency Research Integrity
Liaison Officer (ARILOs), the Agency
Intramural Research Integrity Officer
(AIRIOs), the Agency Extramural
Research Integrity Officer (AERIOs), and
the Research Integrity Officers (RIOs)
located in the Institutes and Centers of
the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
that are involved in the research
misconduct proceeding, when there is a
need to know in the performance of
their duties. All authorized users are
informed that the records are
confidential and are not to be further
disclosed.

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES:
This system is exempt from access;
however, consideration will be given to
requests addressed to the system
manager. The requester must verify his
or her identity by providing either a
notarization of the request or a written
certification that the requester is who he
or she claims to be and understands that
the knowing and willful request for
acquisition of a record pertaining to an
individual under false pretenses is a
criminal offense under the Privacy Act,
subject to a five thousand dollar fine.
The request should include: (a) Full
name, (b) address, and (c) year of
records in question.
RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:
Same as notification procedures.
Requesters should reasonably specify
the record contents being sought.
Although the system is exempt,
respondents may, upon request, receive
records from this system and an
accounting of disclosure of their
records, if the system manager
determines the disclosure would not
compromise the activities of ORI or the
confidentiality of information.

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
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, 2010 would commence
data collection in FY 2011. The

2 The number of responses per respondent for the Events Tracking depends on the design of the jail diversion program and can range from a
single screening for eligibility to four separate screenings; here 800 responses represents the average number of responses per respondent for
the period based on the experience of the previous Grantees.
3 This estimate is an added burden proportion which is an adjustment reflecting the extent to which programs typically already collect the data
items. The formula for calculating the proportion of added burden is: total number of items in the standard instrument, minus the number of core
items currently included, divided by the total number of items in the standard instrument. For the Person Tracking program the burden estimate
was calculated as follows: 56 times 0.65 (the proportion of added burden) = 36.

In compliance with the requirement
of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To

send an e-mail to omb@cdc.gov.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is 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

and/or released from jail/prison. The
study will develop culturally-tailored
and gender-specific educational
materials that promote HIV testing
among this population. The data
collection process will take
approximately 2 years.
In Phase 1, local investigators will
conduct qualitative interviews with 20
non-Hispanic black, heterosexual men,
ages 18–25, who are recently arrested
and/or released from jail/prison and
meet screening criteria. The interviews
will identify their attitudes towards HIV
testing, socio-cultural norms, and
perceived behavioral control factors that
influence HIV testing. The interviews
will also elicit their opinions of how to
promote HIV testing among their peers.
Each interview will last approximately
1.5 hours. During Phase 2, the results
from Phase 1 will be used to identify
variables for a survey that will examine
attitudes towards HIV testing, sociocultural norms, and perceived
behavioral control factors to HIV testing
intentions and behaviors. The survey
will include 250 non-Hispanic black
heterosexual men, ages 18–25, who
meet screening criteria. Each survey will
last approximately 30 minutes.
During Phase 3, using Phase 1 and 2
results, educational materials promoting
HIV testing among 24 non-Hispanic
black heterosexual men will be
developed and pilot tested in focus
groups of young black men who meet
screening criteria to evaluate the
acceptability of the materials.
This study will provide important
epidemiologic information useful for the
development of HIV prevention
interventions for young black men.
There is no cost to respondents except
for their time.

Background and Brief Description
The lifetime risk of acquiring HIV
infection for black men is 1 in 16.
Heterosexual transmission is the second
highest category for HIV infection
among black men, yet we know little
about how to successfully access
heterosexual black men with HIV
prevention and texting messages. CDC is
requesting OMB approval for 2 years to
collect data for this 3-phase study.
The purpose of the proposed study is
to elicit attitudes about HIV testing
among a community-based sample of
non-Hispanic black, heterosexual men,
ages 18–25, who are recently arrested

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information
collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.

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, 6- and
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 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 12-month 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, 2010 would commence data collection in FY
2011. The following tables summarize the burden for the data
collection.

\2\ The number of responses per respondent for the Events Tracking depends on the design of the jail diversion
program and can range from a single screening for eligibility to four separate screenings; here 800 responses
represents the average number of responses per respondent for the period based on the experience of the
previous Grantees.
\3\ This estimate is an added burden proportion which is an adjustment reflecting the extent to which programs
typically already collect the data items. The formula for calculating the proportion of added burden is: total
number of items in the standard instrument, minus the number of core items currently included, divided by the
total number of items in the standard instrument. For the Person Tracking program the burden estimate was
calculated as follows: 56 times 0.65 (the proportion of added burden) = 36.
\4\ Record management forms (Service Use and Arrest) are only completed for those evaluation participants who
receive both a Baseline interview and at least one follow-up (6- and/or 12-month) interview.
