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 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).

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: This notice amends the notice of a major disaster for the State of North Dakota (FEMA–1981–DR), dated May 10, 2011, and related determinations. DATES: Effective Date: August 8, 2011. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peggy Miller, Office of Response and Recovery, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–3886. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter dated August 8, 2011, the President amended the cost-sharing arrangements regarding Federal funds provided under the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 (the ‘‘Stafford Act’’), in a letter to W. Craig Fugate, Administrator, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland Security, under Executive Order 12148, as follows: I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State of North Dakota resulting from flooding during the period of February 14 to July 20, 2011, is of sufficient severity and magnitude that special cost sharing arrangements are warranted regarding Federal funds provided under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (‘‘the Stafford Act’’). Therefore, I amend my declaration of May 10, 2011, to authorize Federal funds for Public Assistance at 90 percent of total eligible costs. This adjustment to State, Tribal, and local government cost sharing applies only to Public Assistance costs eligible for such adjustments under the law. The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act specifically prohibits a similar adjustment for funds provided for the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (Section 404). These funds will continue to be reimbursed at 75 percent of total eligible costs.

Project: Triennial Evaluation of the Projects for Assistance in
Transition From Homelessness (PATH)--NEW

The Center for Mental Health Services awards grants each fiscal
year to each of the States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth
of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands from allotments authorized
under the PATH program established by Public Law 101-645, 42 U.S.C.
290cc-21 et seq., the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance
Amendments Act of 1990 (section 521 et seq. of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act). Section 522 of the PHS Act requires that the
grantee States and Territories must expend their payments under the Act
solely for making grants to political subdivisions of the State, and to
nonprofit private entities (including community-based veterans'
organizations and other community organizations) for the purpose of
providing services specified in the Act. Available funding is allotted
in accordance with the formula provision of section 524 of the PHS Act.
This submission is for a collection of contextual, process, and
outcome information to evaluate the national PATH program. Section 528
of the PHS Act specifies that the Administrator of the Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services Administration shall evaluate at least once
every 3 years the expenditures of grants under this part by eligible
entities in order to ensure that expenditures are consistent with the
provisions of this part. The evaluation shall include recommendations
regarding changes in program design or operations.
The proposed data collection includes:
Interviews with 10 State Path Contacts (SPCs) and an
online survey with all 56 SPCs to gather more information on how States
plan, solicit, and monitor local providers using PATH funding; the
challenges faced in their operating environment, in working with the
populations they serve, and the environment in which they work;
remaining gaps and needs as well as possible solutions and

[[Page 51047]]

recommendations for bridging gaps and filling needs and improving PATH
efficiency and effectiveness.
Interviews with 20-60 local providers and an online survey
with 1 representative who provides face-to-face, PATH-funded services
to clients selected randomly from each local service provider (n =
483). Like SPC interviews and online surveys, the focus of this part of
the data collection effort will be on assessing local providers' views
on the challenges faced in their operating environment, in working with
the populations they serve and the environment in which they work; on
training received and needed; reporting requirements and burden;
remaining gaps and needs and possible solutions and recommendations for
bridging gaps and filling needs and improving PATH efficiency and
effectiveness.
Focus groups with 8-12 consumers that will be conducted on
location at each of the 10 PATH locations selected for site visitation.
The focus groups will assess clients' knowledge of PATH; the types of
services they receive; satisfaction with services received; perceived
needs that are not being met; and recommendations to improve service
access, delivery, and comprehensiveness.
The estimated total burden for the reporting requirements for the
triennial PATH evaluation is summarized in the table below.
