victims at their place of work), IPV has
indirect impacts on the workplace
environment through lost productivity
due to medical leave, absenteeism, and
fear and distraction on the part of
victims and coworkers. The Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
contracted with RTI International (RTI)
to evaluate an ongoing workplace IPV
prevention program being implemented
at a national corporation. The purpose
of the proposed evaluation is to
document in detail the workplace IPV
prevention activities delivered by the
company, to determine the impact of
these activities on short-term and longterm outcomes, and to determine the
cost-effectiveness of the program. All
managers at the corporate office of the
corporation have been screened to
assess training experiences. More in-
depth surveys were conducted with
managers who had not completed the
corporation’s IPV training. We have
surveyed managers at baseline, and 6
months later. Manager surveys focus on
knowledge/awareness of IPV and
company resources for IPV and number
of referrals for IPV assistance. This
extension is requested to cover the 12month follow-up administration of this
survey. Due to unexpected delays at the
evaluation site and an inability to field
the 6-month follow up survey with
managers when originally scheduled,
we will need to push the timeline for
12-month follow up back approximately
3 months.
We have also surveyed employees of
those managers who completed the
baseline survey using an anonymous
Web-based survey at baseline. These
employees will also be surveyed 12
months later (during the extension
period) to assess their self-evaluated
productivity, absenteeism, and
perceptions of manager behavior. We
will compare the responses of managers
(and their employees) who received the
IPV training in the study period (i.e.,
sometime between the baseline and 12
month surveys) with untrained
managers. The study will provide CDC
and employers information about the
potential effectiveness and costeffectiveness of workplace IPV
intervention strategies.
There are no costs to respondents
except their time to participate in the
interview. The estimated total
annualized burden hours are 1125.

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.
This data collection is to study the
risk and protective factors related to
substance use and HIV. The primary
purpose of the Project is to
conceptualize, plan, and implement a
multi-site evaluation to investigate the
process, outcome, and impact of
substance abuse treatment and HIV/
AIDS services provided by 49 SAMHSA
grantees. The grantees’ focus is on
enhancing and expanding substance
abuse treatment and/or outreach and
pretreatment services in conjunction
with HIV/AIDS services in African
American, Hispanic/Latino, and other
racial and ethnic minority communities.
A multi-stage approach has been used to
develop the appropriate theoretical
framework, conceptual model,
evaluation design and protocols, and

data collection instrumentation. Process
and outcome measures have been
developed to fully capture community
and contextual conditions, the scope of
the TCE–HIV Grantee program
implementation and activities, and
client outcomes. A mixed-method
approach (survey, semi-structured
interviews, focus groups) will be used,
for example, to examine collaborative
community linkages established
between grantees and other service
providers (e.g., primary health care,
medical services for PLWHA, substance
abuse recovery support services),
determine which program models and
what type and amount of client
exposure to services contribute to
significant changes in substance abuse
and HIV/AIDS risk behaviors of the
targeted populations, and determine the
impact of the TCE–HIV services on
providers, clients, and communities.
The data collection for the project will
be conducted bi-annually (i.e., every
other year during the 4 year period) and
the client outcome data collection is
ongoing throughout the project and will
be collected at baseline, discharge and
6 months post baseline for all treatment
clients. The respondents are clinicbased social workers and counselors
(e.g., social workers, licensed alcohol
and drug counselors, licensed clinical
professional counselors, licensed

Proposed Project: Substance Abuse
Prevention and Treatment Block Grant
Synar Report Format, FFY 2011–2013—
(OMB No. 0930–0222)—Revision
Section 1926 of the Public Health
Service Act [42 U.S.C. 300x–26]
stipulates that funding Substance Abuse
Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Block
Grant agreements for alcohol and drug
abuse programs for fiscal year 1994 and
subsequent fiscal years require States to
have in effect a law providing that it is
unlawful for any manufacturer, retailer,
or distributor of tobacco products to sell
or distribute any such product to any
individual under the age of 18. This
section further requires that States
conduct annual, random, unannounced
inspections to ensure compliance with
the law; that the State submit annually
a report describing the results of the
inspections, describing the activities
carried out by the State to enforce the
required law, describing the success the
State has achieved in reducing the
availability of tobacco products to
individuals under the age of 18, and
describing the strategies to be utilized
by the State for enforcing such law
during the fiscal year for which the
grant is sought.
Before making an award to a State
under the SAPT Block Grant, the
Secretary must make a determination
that the State has maintained
compliance with these requirements. If
a determination is made that the State
is not in compliance, penalties shall be
applied. Penalties ranged from 10
percent of the Block Grant in applicable
year 1 (FFY 1997 SAPT Block Grant
PO 00000
Frm 00056
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Applications) to 40 percent in
applicable year 4 (FFY 2000 SAPT
Block Grant Applications) and
subsequent years. Respondents include
the 50 States, the District of Columbia,
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the
U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American
Samoa, the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands, Palau,
Micronesia, and the Marshall Islands.
Regulations that implement this
legislation are at 45 CFR 96.130, are
approved by OMB under control
number 0930–0163, and require that
each State submit an annual Synar
report to the Secretary describing their
progress in complying with section 1926
of the PHS Act. The Synar report, due
December 31 following the fiscal year
for which the State is reporting,
describes the results of the inspections
and the activities carried out by the
State to enforce the required law; the
success the State has achieved in
reducing the availability of tobacco
products to individuals under the age of
18; and the strategies to be utilized by
the State for enforcing such law during
the fiscal year for which the grant is
sought.
SAMHSA’s Center for Substance
Abuse Prevention will request OMB
approval of revisions to the current
report format associated with Section
1926 (42 U.S.C. 300x–26). The report
format is minimally changing. Any
changes in either formatting or content
are being made to simplify the reporting
process for the States and to clarify the
information as the States report it; both
outcomes will facilitate consistent,
credible, and efficient monitoring of
Synar compliance across the States and
will reduce the reporting burden by the
States. All of the information required
in the new report format is already
being collected by the States. Specific
revisions all appear in Section I
