Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 113 / Tuesday, June 12, 2012 / Notices
Services Administration 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.
Proposed Project: Projects for
Assistance in Transition From
Homelessness (PATH) Program Annual
Report (OMB No. 0930–0205)—Revision
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 non-profit 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 revision of
the current approval of the annual
grantee reporting requirements. Section
528 of the PHS Act specifies that not
later than January 31 of each fiscal year,
a funded entity will prepare and submit
a report in such form and containing
such information as is determined
necessary for securing a record and
description of the purposes for which
amounts received under section 521
were expended during the preceding
fiscal year and of the recipients of such
amounts and determining whether such
amounts were expended in accordance
with statutory provisions.
The proposed changes to the PATH
Annual Report Survey are as follows:
1. Format
To create a PATH report that is easier
to read, the formatting has been
modified to be more table driven. In
addition, the language has been made
more concise. Although the online form
and report is close in flow to the
previous report, it is necessary to
thoroughly read all reporting
instructions to insure proper data entry.
2. Estimated Counts
The new PATH report does not
include entry of estimated counts. Only
actual counts should be entered.
Number of
respondents
Respondents
3. Homelessness Management
Information System (HMIS) Data
Integration
The Data section of the report is
expected to be propagated from the local
HMIS when providers use HMIS. This
includes client counts, services,
referrals, and demographics. This data
will be automatically aggregated from
client-level data.
4. Demographic Responses
In order to facilitate integration of
PATH data into HMIS, all data
responses have been modified to fully
align with valid HMIS responses. For
example, the ‘‘Hispanic’’ response has
been separated from ‘‘Race’’ and placed
in ‘‘Ethnicity.’’
5. Additional Data Items
The PATH report now tracks
demographic data for persons contacted,
as well as those enrolled. For services
and referrals, in addition to gathering
the number of enrolled persons
receiving the service or referral, there is
a total count of the number of times that
particular service was provided or
referral made.
6. Voluntary Outcome Measures
The data previously entered as
voluntary outcome measures has now
been moved to the referral section of the
report and are no longer considered
‘‘voluntary.’’
The estimated annual burden for
these reporting requirements is
summarized in the table below.

requirements. If a client requests an offsite rapid HIV test, the Grantee must
provide a referral to a rapid HIV testing
site certified by the local health
department.

collect information from clients on
demographics, previous rapid HIV test
results, substance use and sexual risk
behaviors, current rapid HIV test results,

Sfmt 4703
Principal changes from the previous
Phase VI OMB approval include:
• Addition of nine (9) communities
awarded cooperative agreements in
FY2010 for data collection.
• Replacement of intake and followup questionnaires for the Child Welfare
Sector and Comparison Study with an
administrative record review form to
lessen burden.
• Addition of a brief 8-item Education
Sector Caregiver Questionnaire to the
Education Sector and Comparison Study
to capture family involvement in the
development and use of Individualized
Education Plans (IEPs).
• Removal of data collection activities
for the Alumni Networking Study, the
CQI Initiative Evaluation, and the
Sustainability Study.
Data collection for this evaluation will
be conducted over a five-year period.
Child and family outcomes of interest
will be collected at intake and during
subsequent follow-up sessions at sixmonth intervals. The length of time that
individual families will participate in
the study is up to 24 months. The
outcome measures include the
following: Child symptomatology and
functioning, family functioning,
satisfaction, and caregiver strain. The
core of service system data will be
collected every 18–24 months
throughout the 5-year evaluation period.
Service utilization and cost data will be
tracked and submitted to the national
evaluation every six months using two
tools: The Flex Fund Tool and the
Services and Costs Data Tool to estimate
