Project: Protection and Advocacy for
Individuals With Mental Illness
(PAIMI) Annual Program Performance
Report (OMB No. 0930–0169)—
Extension
The Protection and Advocacy for
Individuals with Mental Illness (PAIMI)
Act at 42 U.S.C. 10801 et seq.,
authorized funds to the same protection
and advocacy (P&A) systems created
under the Developmental Disabilities
Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of
1975, known as the DD Act (as amended
in 2000, 42 U.S.C. 15001 et seq.]. The
DD Act supports the Protection and
Advocacy for Developmental
Disabilities (PADD) Program
administered by the Administration on
Intellectual and Developmental
Disabilities (AIDD) within the
Administration on Community Living.
AIDD is the lead federal P&A agency.
The PAIMI Program supports the same
governor-designated P&A systems
established under the DD Act by
providing legal-based individual and
systemic advocacy services to
individuals with significant (severe)
mental illness (adults) and significant
(severe) emotional impairment
(children/youth) who are at risk for
abuse, neglect and other rights
violations while residing in a care or
treatment facility.
In 2000, the PAIMI Act amendments
created a 57th P&A system—the
American Indian Consortium (the
Navajo and Hopi Tribes in the Four
Corners region of the Southwest). The
Act, at 42 U.S.C. 10804(d), states that a
P&A system may use its allotment to
provide representation to individuals
with mental illness, as defined by
section 42 U.S.C. 10802 (4)(B)(iii)
residing in the community, including
their own home, only, if the total
allotment under this title for any fiscal
year is $30 million or more, and in such
cases an eligible P&A system must give
priority to representing PAIMI-eligible
individuals, as defined by 42 U.S.C.
10802(4)(A) and (B)(i).
The Children’s Health Act of 2000
(CHA) also referenced the state P&A
system authority to obtain information
on incidents of seclusion, restraint and
related deaths [see, CHA, Part H at 42
U.S.C. 290ii–1]. PAIMI Program formula
grants awarded by SAMHSA go directly
to each of the 57 governor-designated
P&A systems. These systems are located
in each of the 50 states, the District of
Columbia, the American Indian
Consortium, American Samoa, Guam,
the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands, the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The PAIMI Act at 42 U.S.C. 10805(7)
requires that each P&A system prepare
and transmit to the Secretary HHS and
to the head of its State mental health
agency a report on January 1. This
report describes the activities,
accomplishments, and expenditures of
Number of
respondents
the system during the most recently
completed fiscal year, including a
section prepared by the advisory
council (the PAIMI Advisory Council or
PAC) that describes the activities of the
council and its independent assessment
of the operations of the system.
The Substance Abuse Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA)
proposes no revisions to its annual
PAIMI Program Performance Report
(PPR), including the advisory council
section, at this time for the following
reasons: (1) AIDD is currently piloting a
PADD PPR. The results of the pilot will
not be available until October 2014 (FY
2015). (2) when the AIDD/ACL PPR is
final, SAMHSA will revise its PPR, as
appropriate, for consistency with the
annual reporting requirements under
the PAIMI Act and Rules [42 CFR Part
51]; (3) SAMHSA will develop a
mechanism to facilitate electronic
submission of the annual PAIMI PPR
and ACR as recommended in the
Evaluation of the Protection and
Advocacy for Individuals with Mental
Illness (PAIMI) Program, Phase III.
Evaluation Report al Report (SAMHSA
(2011). Evaluation of the Protection and
Advocacy for Individuals With Mental
Illness (PAIMI) Program, Phase III. Final
Report. HHS Pub. No. PEP12–
EVALPAIMI. Rockville, MD: CMHS,
SAMHSA). (4) GPRA requirements for
the PAIMI Program will be revised as
appropriate to ensure that SAMHSA
obtains information that closely
measures actual outcomes of programs
that it funds and (5) SAMHSA will
reduce wherever feasible the current
reporting burden by removing any
information that does not facilitate
evaluation of the programmatic and
fiscal effectiveness of a state P&A
system. The current report formats will
be effective for the FY 2014 PPR reports
due on January 1, 2015.

CFR 1505.1 and 1507.3) and therefore
must be read in conjunction with the
CEQ regulations.
The Directive and Instruction have
been substantially revised to address a
number of circumstances and
requirements that have arisen since
April 19, 2006, the effective date of the
original DHS procedures (Federal

Revision of the Directive and
Instruction, including additions to the
Department’s list of NEPA categorical
exclusions (CATEXs), was a
collaborative effort on the part of
numerous DHS environmental and legal
professionals from across the
Department. These professionals are
NEPA practitioners and environmental
protection specialists with numerous
years of federal NEPA experience,
including experience in implementing
the 2006 DHS NEPA procedures or
Component-specific procedures, and
legal practitioners with advanced
education and experience advising
federal agency project and program
managers on NEPA compliance. The
DHS Components and offices whose
staff contributed to the update of the
Directive and Instruction include:
• Sustainability and Environmental
Programs (SEP), Office of the Chief
Readiness Support Officer, Under
Secretary for Management, DHS HQ
• Office of the General Counsel, DHS
HQ
• Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA)
• United States Coast Guard (USCG)
• Customs and Border Protection

• Transportation Security

Center (FLETC)
• United States Secret Service (USSS)
• Science and Technology Directorate
(S&T)
• National Protection and Programs
Directorate (NPPD)
• United States Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS)
When originally published in 2006,
the Directive and Instruction did not
apply to the Components of FEMA,
CBP, or USCG; these three Components
each maintained their own procedures
for implementing NEPA when the
Department was established in 2002.
This proposed revision to the Directive
and Instruction incorporates FEMA,
CBP, and USCG into the Department’s
NEPA procedures and addresses the full
