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: Access to Recovery
(ATR) Program (OMB No. 0930–0266)—
Extension
The Center for Substance Abuse
Treatment (CSAT) is charged with the
Access to Recovery (ATR) program
which will allow grantees (States,
Territories, the District of Columbia and
Tribal Organizations) a means to
implement voucher programs for
substance abuse clinical treatment and
recovery support services. The ATR
program is part of a Presidential
initiative to: (1) Provide client choice
among substance abuse clinical
treatment and recovery support service
providers, (2) expand access to a
comprehensive array of clinical
treatment and recovery support options
(including faith-based programmatic
options), and (3) increase substance
abuse treatment capacity. Monitoring
outcomes, tracking costs, and
preventing waste, fraud and abuse to
ensure accountability and effectiveness
in the use of Federal funds are also
important elements of the ATR program.
Grantees, as a contingency of their

The primary purpose of this data
collection activity is to meet the
reporting requirements of the

Act (GPRA) by allowing SAMHSA to
quantify the effects and
accomplishments of SAMHSA
programs. The following table is an

SAMHSA Desk Officer, Human

of Management and Budget, New

are focused on information
dissemination activities. The purpose of
this submission is to extend the existing
generic approval for such surveys.
The primary use for information
gathered is to identify strengths and
weaknesses in current service
provisions by SAMHSA and to make
improvements that are practical and
feasible. Several of the customer
satisfaction surveys expected to be
implemented under this approval will
provide data for measurement of
program effectiveness under the
Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA). Information from these
customer surveys will be used to plan
and redirect resources and efforts to
improve or maintain a high quality of
service to health care providers and
members of the public. Focus groups
may be used to develop the survey
questionnaire in some instances.
