Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration
Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
In compliance with Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
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–
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: Transformation
Accountability Reporting System—
(OMB No. 0930–0285)—Extension
The Transformation Accountability
(TRAC) Reporting System is a real-time,
performance management system that
captures information on the substance
abuse treatment and mental health
services delivered in the United States.
A wide range of client and program
information is captured through TRAC
for approximately 700 grantees. This
request includes an extension of the
currently approved data collection
effort.
This information collection will allow
SAMHSA to continue to meet the
Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA) of 1993 reporting
requirements that quantify the effects
and accomplishments of its programs,
which are consistent with OMB
guidance. In order to carry out section
1105(a)(29) of GPRA, SAMHSA is
required to prepare a performance plan
for its major programs of activity. This
plan must:
• Establish performance goals to
define the level of performance to be
achieved by a program activity;
• Express such goals in an objective,
quantifiable, and measurable form;
• Briefly describe the operational
processes, skills and technology, and
the human, capital, information, or
other resources required to meet the
performance goals;
• Establish performance indicators to
be used in measuring or assessing the
relevant outputs, service levels, and
outcomes of each program activity;
• Provide a basis for comparing actual
program results with the established
performance goals; and
• Describe the means to be used to
verify and validate measured values.
In addition, this data collection
supports the GPRA Modernization Act
of 2010 which requires overall
organization management to improve
agency performance and achieve the
mission and goals of the agency through
the use of strategic and performance
planning, measurement, analysis,
regular assessment of progress, and use
of performance information to improve
the results achieved. Specifically, this
data collection will allow CMHS to have
the capacity to report on a consistent set
of performance measures across its
various grant programs that conduct
each of these activities. SAMHSA’s
legislative mandate is to increase access
to high quality substance abuse and
mental health prevention and treatment
services and to improve outcomes. Its
mission is to improve the quality and
availability of treatment and prevention
services for substance abuse and mental
illness. To support this mission, the
Agency’s overarching goals are:
• Accountability—Establish systems
to ensure program performance
measurement and accountability
• Capacity—Build, maintain, and
enhance mental health and substance
abuse infrastructure and capacity
• Effectiveness—Enable all
communities and providers to deliver
effective services
Each of these key goals complements
SAMHSA’s legislative mandate. All of
SAMHSA’s programs and activities are
geared toward the achievement of these
goals and performance monitoring is a
collaborative and cooperative aspect of
this process. SAMHSA will strive to
coordinate the development of these
goals with other ongoing performance
measurement development activities.

Proposed Project: Services
Accountability Improvement System—
(OMB No. 0930–0208)—Extension
This is an extension to the previously
OMB approved instrument. The
Services Accountability Improvement
System (SAIS), which is a real-time,
performance management system that
captures information on the substance
abuse treatment and mental health
services delivered in the United States.
A wide range of client and program
information is captured through SAIS
for approximately 600 grantees.
Substance abuse treatment facilities
submit their data on a monthly and even
a weekly basis to ensure that SAIS is an
accurate, up-to-date reflection on the
scope of services delivered and
characteristics of the treatment
population. Over 30 reports on grantee
performance are readily available on the
SAIS Web site. The reports inform staff
on the grantees’ ability to serve their
target populations and meet their client
and budget targets. SAIS data allow
grantees information that can guide
modifications to their service array.
Continued 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.
Note that there are no changes to the
instrument or the burden hours from the
previous OMB submission.
