These devices are used to aid in the prevention and control of MRSA/SA infections in health care settings. This document is limited to studies intended to establish the performance characteristics of devices that detect MRSA by growth in culture media or those devices that test for the protein, penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a or PBP2′), expressed by the mecA gene. This includes culture-based devices that use selective or chromogenic media. It does not address the detection of serological response from the host to the MRSA antigens or establish the performance of non-MRSA components of multianalyte or multiplex nucleic acid based devices. jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES II.

The new items will be added to the Transformation Accountability (TRAC) Reporting System is a real-time, performance management system that captures information on mental health services delivered in the United States. A wide range of client and program information is captured through TRAC for approximately 400 grantees.

Approval of this information collection will allow SAMHSA to continue to meet Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) reporting requirements that quantify the effects and accomplishments of its discretionary grant programs which are consistent with OMB guidance. CMHS has increased the number of questions in the instrument to satisfy reporting needs. The following paragraphs present a description of the changes made to the information collection. These questions will be contained in new sections in the Services tool. Violence and Trauma—CMHS proposes to add the following 6 items in 1. Have you ever experienced violence or trauma in any setting (including community or school violence; domestic violence; physical, psychological, or sexual maltreatment/assault within or outside of the family; natural disaster; terrorism; neglect; or traumatic grief)? No, (skip to next section) 2. Did any of these experiences feel so frightening, horrible, or upsetting that in the past and/or the present that you: 2a. Have had nightmares about it or thought about it when you did not want to? 2b. Tried hard not to think about it or went out of your way to avoid situations that remind you of it? 2c. Were constantly on guard, watchful, or easily startled? 2d. Felt numb and detached from others, activities, or your surroundings? 3. In the past 30 days, how often have you been hit, kicked, slapped, or otherwise physically hurt? • Experiences with Violence and Trauma—One of SAMHSA’s 10 Strategic Initiatives is trauma and violence. In order to capture this information, CMHS is adding six new questions to be asked of respondents. This information will help in SAMHSA’s overall goal of reducing the behavioral health impacts of violence and trauma by encouraging substance abuse treatment programs to focus on trauma-informed services. Military Family and Deployment— CMHS proposes to add the following 6 new items in a new section entitled ‘‘Military Family and Deployment’’ 1.

Collection of these data will allow CMHS to identify the number of veterans served, deployment status and location, and family veteran status in conjunction with the types of services they may receive. Identifying a client’s veteran status and deployment area allows CMHS and the grantees to monitor these clients and explore whether special services or programs are needed to treat them for substance abuse and other related issues. Identification of veteran status and other military family issues will also allow coordination between SAMHSA and other Federal agencies in order to provide a full range of services to veterans.

techniques or other forms of information technology.

Proposed Project: Transformation Accountability Reporting System--(OMB 
No. 0930-0285)--Revision

    This revised instrument will allow SAMHSA to collect information on 
two new strategic initiatives--Trauma and Violence and Military 
Families. The new items will be added to the Transformation 
Accountability (TRAC) Reporting System is a real-time, performance 
management system that captures information on mental health services 
delivered in the United States. A wide range of client and program 
information is captured through TRAC for approximately 400 grantees.
    With the addition of new questions regarding military families, 
experiences with trauma, and experiences with violence GFA, there is a 
proposed new data collection instrument up for comment. Approval of 
this information collection will allow SAMHSA to continue to meet 
Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) reporting 
requirements that quantify the effects and accomplishments of its 
discretionary grant programs which are consistent with OMB guidance.
    CMHS has increased the number of questions in the instrument to 
satisfy reporting needs. The following paragraphs present a description 
of the changes made to the information collection. These questions will 
be contained in new sections in the Services tool.
    Violence and Trauma--CMHS proposes to add the following 6 items in 
a new section entitled ``Violence and Trauma''

    1. Have you ever experienced violence or trauma in any setting 
(including community or school violence; domestic violence; 
physical, psychological, or sexual maltreatment/assault within or 
outside of the family; natural disaster; terrorism; neglect; or 
traumatic grief)? No, (skip to next section)
    2. Did any of these experiences feel so frightening, horrible, 
or upsetting that in the past and/or the present that you:
    2a. Have had nightmares about it or thought about it when you 
did not want to?
    2b. Tried hard not to think about it or went out of your way to 
avoid situations that remind you of it?
    2c. Were constantly on guard, watchful, or easily startled?
    2d. Felt numb and detached from others, activities, or your 
surroundings?
    3. In the past 30 days, how often have you been hit, kicked, 
slapped, or otherwise physically hurt?

     Experiences with Violence and Trauma--One of SAMHSA's 10 
Strategic Initiatives is trauma and violence. In order to capture this 
information, CMHS is adding six new questions to be asked of 
respondents. This information will help in SAMHSA's overall goal of 
reducing the behavioral health impacts of violence and trauma by 
encouraging substance abuse treatment programs to focus on trauma-
informed services.
    Military Family and Deployment--CMHS proposes to add the following 
6 new items in a new section entitled ``Military Family and 
Deployment''

    1. Have you ever served in the Armed Forces, in the Reserves, or 
the National Guard [select all that apply]? No, (Skip to 2)
    1b. Are you currently on active duty in the Armed Forces, in the 
Reserves, or the National Guard [select all that apply]?
    1c. Have you ever been deployed to a combat zone?
    2. Is anyone in your family or someone close to you on active 
duty in the Armed Forces, in the Reserves, or the National Guard, or 
separated or retired from Armed Forces, Reserves, or the National 
Guard? No, (Skip to next section)
    3. What is the relationship of that person (Service Member) to 
you?
    3b. Has the Service Member experienced any of the following 
(check all that apply):

[cir] Deployed in support of Combat Operations (e.g. Iraq or 
Afghanistan)
[cir] Was physically Injured during combat Operations
[cir] Developed combat stress symptoms/difficulties adjusting 
following deployment, including PTSD, Depression, or suicidal 
thoughts
[cir] Died or was killed

     Veteran Family Status and Areas of Deployment--SAMHSA is 
also interested in collecting data on active duty and veteran military 
members. Collection of these data will allow CMHS to identify the 
number of veterans served, deployment status and location, and family 
veteran status in conjunction with the types of services they may 
receive. Identifying a client's veteran status and deployment area 
allows CMHS and the grantees to monitor these clients and explore 
whether special services or programs are needed to treat them for 
substance abuse and other related issues. Identification of veteran 
status and other military family issues will also allow coordination 
between SAMHSA and other Federal agencies in order to provide a full 
range of services to veterans. CMHS will also be able to monitor their 
outcomes and activities per the NOMS. The total annual burden estimate 
is shown below:
