Proposed Project: Co-Location and
Integration of HIV Prevention and
Medical Care Into Behavioral Health
Program-Revision
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration’s
(SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health
Services, (CMHS), Center for Substance
Abuse Prevention (CSAP), Center for
Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) are
requesting approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
revised data collection activities
associated with their Co-location and
Integration of HIV Prevention and
Appropriations Report 113–71. The
report urged SAMHSA to ‘‘focus its
efforts on building capacity and
outreach to individuals at risk or with
a primary substance abuse disorder and
to improve efforts to identify such
individuals to prevent the spread of
HIV.’’ Additional support for this data
collection effort is provided by the 2013
National HIV/AIDS Strategy which
instructed SAMHSA to ‘‘support and
rigorously evaluate the development
and implementation of new integrated
behavioral health models to address the
intersection of substance use, mental
health, and HIV.’’
The table below reflects the revised
annualized hourly burden.
Medical Care into Behavioral Health
Program.
This information collection is needed
to provide SAMHSA with objective
information to document the reach and
impact of services funded to address
HIV and Hepatitis in the context of
substance use disorders and mental
illness. The information will be used to
monitor quality assurance and quality
performance outcomes for organizations
funded by its grant programs. Collection
of the information included in this
request is authorized by Section 505 of
the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
290aa–4)—Data Collection.
Further support for this collection

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 9 of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.) and our implementing Federal
regulations in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR part 17
prohibit the ‘‘take’’ of fish or wildlife
species listed as endangered or
threatened. Take of listed fish or
wildlife is defined under the Act as ‘‘to
harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot,
wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or
to attempt to engage in any such
conduct’’ (16 U.S.C. 1532). However,
under limited circumstances, we issue
permits to authorize incidental take—
i.e., take that is incidental to, and not

the purpose of, the carrying out of an
otherwise lawful activity.
Regulations governing incidental take
permits for threatened and endangered
species are at 50 CFR 17.32 and 17.22,
respectively. The Act’s take prohibitions
do not apply to federally listed plants
on private lands unless such take would
violate State law. In addition to meeting
other criteria, an incidental take
permit’s proposed actions must not
jeopardize the existence of federally
listed fish, wildlife, or plants.
