In compliance with Section

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–

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

Proposed Project: Children Affected by
Methamphetamine in Family Drug
Treatment Court—NEW
In 2010, the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse
Treatment (CSAT), provided funding to
12 existing Family Treatment Drug
Courts (FTDCs) for enhancement and/or
expansion of their FTDC’s capabilities
to provide psycho-social, emotional and
mental health services to children (0–17
years) and their families who have
methamphetamine use disorders and
involvement in child protective
services. This program was authorized
in House Report 111–220 accompanying
HR 3293 in 2010. The Committee
language stated that ‘‘these grants will
support a collaborative approach,
including treatment providers, child
welfare specialists, and judges, to
provide community-based social
services for the children of
methamphetamine-addicted parents,’’
and were to be awarded to Family
Dependency Treatment Drug Courts.
The proposed data collection for the
grantees, referred to as the Children
Affected by Methamphetamine in
Family Treatment Drug Court (CAM–
FTDC) project, will provide knowledge
about the services needed and provided
to these and similar families. The data
to be collected by the CAM–FTDC
program is SAMHSA’s first Federal data
collection effort focused specifically on
the needs of children whose parents
have a substance use disorder and are
participating in an FTDC and on
effective strategies to address their
needs. The information collected
through the CAM–FTDC program will
benefit SAMHSA by providing an indepth understanding of the needs of the
children and families served by CAM–
FTDC. Findings from this program will
provide SAMHSA with valuable
information regarding appropriate
service interventions for this population
and, ultimately, inform SAMHSA on
how the agency can best meet the needs
of future drug endangered children. The
results from this data collection will
serve to inform future decisions
regarding funding by SAMHSA as well
as establish an evidence base for the
practices undertaken for other localities
and programs implementing Family
Treatment Drug Courts.

The evaluation of the CAM–FTDC
project will collect data on children,
parents/caregivers, family functioning
and interagency collaboration. The
domains specified in the Request for
Applications (RFA) are: (1) Child
Outcomes; (2) Parent/Caregiver
Outcomes; (3) Family Functioning; and,
(4) Interagency Collaboration.
To the greatest extent possible, the
data elements are operationally defined
using standard definitions in child
welfare and substance abuse treatment.
The use of standard data definitions
will reduce the data collection burden
on grantees as these variables are
collected through data collection
procedures that currently exist through
all publically funded child welfare and
substance abuse treatment systems. The
CAM–FTDC performance measures are
data currently collected by programs as
part of their normal operations (e.g.,
placement status in child welfare
services, substance abuse treatment
entry dates). Thus, no primary data
collection from clients will be required
as the grantees will be abstracting
existing data. The information utilized
for the North Carolina Family
Assessment Scale rating is obtained
Assessment Scale, and an interagency
collaboration survey administered to
CAM FTDC program staff.
Exhibit 1 presents the estimated total
cost burden associated with the
collection of the CAM–FTDC data
elements. The following estimates
represent the minimum CAM–FTDC
clients required to be served by the
CAM–FTDC grantees (i.e., a minimum
of 20 methamphetamine-using clients is
required in order to have a sufficient
number of participants in the program ×
12 grantees). The identified respondent
for the annualized hour burden for the
child, parent/caregiver and family
functioning elements is the grantee staff
person who will extract data from
CAM–FTDC client. For the interagency
collaboration measure, the respondent is
identified as a CAM–FTDC staff
member. It is estimated that 10 CAM–
FTDC staff members from each of the 12
grantees will complete the interagency
collaboration measure. The estimated
total cost of the time that will be spent
completing data collection is $18,400
(total number of respondent hours ×
$18.40, the estimated average hourly
wages for adults as published by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2010).
during the intake interview that sites
engage in when determining program
eligibility and suitability. If needed, the
CAM FTDC staff member may
supplement this information by
obtaining information from other staff
that interact with the client (i.e., the
social worker familiar with the family)
or during a home visit (if this is part of
their program activities).
It should be re-emphasized that the
CAM–FTDC projects are expansions or
enhancements of FTDC partnerships
that currently have existing
relationships (and information sharing/
confidentiality agreements) in place. It
is through this existing information
sharing forum that the CAM grantees
will be able to obtain the requisite child
welfare and substance abuse treatment
performance measures.
The grantees will use electronic
abstraction and secondary data
collection for elements that are already
being collected by counties and States
in their reporting requirements of
Federally-mandated data. There are five
data sources that will be used to collect
and report the performance measures:
Two Federal child welfare data sets, a
Federal substance abuse treatment data
set, the North Carolina Family
