emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
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: Strategic Prevention
Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF
SIG) Program (OMB No. 0930–0279)—
Reinstatement
SAMHSA’s Center for Substance
Abuse Prevention (CSAP) is responsible
for the evaluation instruments of the
Strategic Prevention Framework State
Incentive Grant (SPF SIG) Program. The
program is a major initiative designed
to: (1) Prevent the onset and reduce the
progression of substance abuse,
including childhood and underage
drinking; (2) reduce substance abuse
related problems; and, (3) build

prevention capacity and infrastructure
at the State-, territorial-, tribal- and
community-levels.
Five steps comprise the SPF:
Step 1: Profile population needs, resources,
and readiness to address the problems and
gaps in service delivery.
Step 2: Mobilize and/or build capacity to
address needs.
Step 3: Develop a comprehensive strategic
plan.
Step 4: Implement evidence-based
prevention programs, policies, and practices
and infrastructure development activities.
Step 5: Monitor process, evaluate
effectiveness, sustain effective programs/
activities, and improve or replace those that
fail.
An evaluation is currently in process
with the SPF SIG Cohorts III, IV and V.
The primary objective for this
evaluation is to determine the impact of
SPF SIG on the reduction of substance
abuse related problems, on building
state prevention capacity and
infrastructure, and preventing the onset
and reducing the progression of
substance abuse, as measured by the
SAMHSA National Outcomes Measures
(NOMs). Data collected at the granteeand community-levels will provide
information about process and system
outcomes at the grantee and community
levels as well as context for analyzing
participant-level NOMs outcomes.
This notice invites comments for
reinstatement to the protocol for the
ongoing Cross-site Evaluation of the
Strategic Prevention Framework State
Incentive Grant (SPF SIG) (OMB No.
0930–0279) which expired on 11/30/12.
This revision includes two parts:
1. Submission of the instruments for
the cross-site evaluation of the SPF SIG
Cohorts IV and V: (a) The two-part
Community-Level Instrument (CLI Parts
I and II); and (b) the two Grantee-Level
Instruments (GLI)—the GLI
Infrastructure Instrument and the GLI
Implementation Instrument.
2. Calculation of burden estimates for
Cohorts IV and V, 24 and 10 grantees,
respectively, for the 2-part CLI and the
2 GLIs. Per guidance from the previous
OMB submission for the GLI and CLI
Instruments (OMB No. 0930–0279), the
number of items have been reduced,
resulting in a reduced burden.
Grantee-Level Data Collection
Two web-based surveys, GLI
Infrastructure Instrument and GLI
Implementation Instrument, were
developed for assessing grantee-level
efforts and progress. These instruments
gather information about the
infrastructure of the grantee’s overall
prevention system and collect data
regarding the grantee’s efforts and
PO 00000
Frm 00032
Fmt 4703

progress in implementing the Strategic
Prevention Framework 5-step process.
The total burden for these instruments
has been reduced by deleting items that
are no longer necessary as baseline data
has already been gathered from all
grantees. Information for both surveys
will be gathered once, at the end of the
three year approval period. The
estimated annual burden for granteelevel data collection is displayed below
in Table 1.
Community-Level Data Collection
The Community-level Instrument
(CLI) is a two part, web-based survey for
capturing information about SPF SIG
implementation at the community level.
Data from this instrument allows CSAP
to assess the progress of the
communities in their implementation of
both the SPF and prevention-related
interventions funded under the
initiative. Part I of the instrument
gathers information on the
communities’ progress implementing
the five SPF SIG steps and efforts taken
to ensure cultural competency
throughout the SPF SIG process.
Subrecipient communities receiving
SPF SIG awards will be required to
complete Part I of the instrument
annually.
Part II captures data on the specific
prevention intervention(s) implemented
at the community level, and is
completed for each prevention
intervention strategy implemented
during the specified reporting period.
Specific questions are tailored to match
the type of prevention intervention
strategy implemented (e.g., Prevention
Education, Community-based Processes,
and Environmental). Information
collected on each strategy will include
date of implementation, numbers of
groups and participants served,
frequency of activities, and gender, age,
race, and ethnicity of population
served/affected. Subrecipient
communities’ partners receiving SPF
SIG awards are required to update Part
II of the instrument a minimum of every
six months.
The estimated annual burden for
specific segments of the communitylevel data collection is displayed in
Table 1. The total burden assumes an
average of 15 community-level
subrecipients per grantee, annual
completion of the CLI Part I, a minimum
of two instrument updates per year for
the CLI Part II, and an average of three
distinct prevention intervention
strategies implemented by each
community during a 6-month period.

from the previous OMB submission for the GLI and CLI Instruments (OMB
No. 0930-0279), the number of items have been reduced, resulting in a
reduced burden.
Grantee-Level Data Collection
Two web-based surveys, GLI Infrastructure Instrument and GLI
Implementation Instrument, were developed for assessing grantee-level
efforts and progress. These instruments gather information about the
infrastructure of the grantee's overall prevention system and collect
data regarding the grantee's efforts and progress in implementing the
Strategic Prevention Framework 5-step process. The total burden for
these instruments has been reduced by deleting items that are no longer
necessary as baseline data has already been gathered from all grantees.
Information for both surveys will be gathered once, at the end of the
three year approval period. The estimated annual burden for grantee-
level data collection is displayed below in Table 1.
Community-Level Data Collection
The Community-level Instrument (CLI) is a two part, web-based
survey for capturing information about SPF SIG implementation at the
community level. Data from this instrument allows CSAP to assess the
progress of the communities in their implementation of both the SPF and
prevention-related interventions funded under the initiative. Part I of
the instrument gathers information on the communities' progress
implementing the five SPF SIG steps and efforts taken to ensure
cultural competency throughout the SPF SIG process. Subrecipient
communities receiving SPF SIG awards will be required to complete Part
I of the instrument annually.
Part II captures data on the specific prevention intervention(s)
implemented at the community level, and is completed for each
prevention intervention strategy implemented during the specified
reporting period. Specific questions are tailored to match the type of
prevention intervention strategy implemented (e.g., Prevention
Education, Community-based Processes, and Environmental). Information
collected on each strategy will include date of implementation, numbers
of groups and participants served, frequency of activities, and gender,
age, race, and ethnicity of population served/affected. Subrecipient
communities' partners receiving SPF SIG awards are required to update
Part II of the instrument a minimum of every six months.
The estimated annual burden for specific segments of the community-
level data collection is displayed in Table 1. The total burden assumes
an average of 15 community-level subrecipients per grantee, annual
completion of the CLI Part I, a minimum of two instrument updates per
year for the CLI Part II, and an average of three distinct prevention
intervention strategies implemented by each community during a 6-month
period.

Total Estimates of Annualized Hour Burden
Estimates of total and annualized reporting burden for respondents
by evaluation cohort are displayed below in Table 1. CSAP is requesting
an average annual estimate of: 167.28 hours at the grantee-level and
5,737.5 hours at the community-level. These hours are a reduction in
the average annual estimate requested in the previous submission for
grantees and communities.
