SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) is one facet of the multi-hazard readiness program in eight States that deal with hazardous material spills or releases. The program’s goal is to improve preparedness to protect the people of these communities in the unlikely event of an accident. CSEPP, a cooperative effort between FEMA and the U.S. PO 00000 Frm 00065 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Army, provides funding (grants), training, community outreach, guidance, technical support and expertise to State, local, and Tribal governments to improve their capabilities to prepare for and respond to this type of disaster. Since no preparedness program can be successful without the public’s understanding and cooperation, input from the residents and businesses of immediate and/or surrounding areas is vital for program managers’ ability to design customtailored strategies to educate and communicate risks and action plans at the local level. This survey, which was initiated six years ago, will continue as the assessment mechanism to document and quantify program achievements. There are two authorities supporting this information collection: (1) The Government Performance Results Act of 1993, which mandates Federal agencies to provide valid and reliable quantification of program achievements, and (2) Executive Order 12862, which requires agencies to survey customers to determine their level of satisfaction with existing services.

Proposed Project: Survey of Evidence-Based Practices for Mental Health

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 eight 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 eight 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 114 questions 
on the overall management and delivery of mental health and substance
