* The Standards Council of Canada (SCC) voted
to end its Laboratory Accreditation Program for
Substance Abuse (LAPSA) effective May 12, 1998.
Laboratories certified through that program were
accredited to conduct forensic urine drug testing as
required by U.S. Department of Transportation
(DOT) regulations. As of that date, the certification
of those accredited Canadian laboratories will
continue under DOT authority. The responsibility
for conducting quarterly performance testing plus
periodic on-site inspections of those LAPSAaccredited laboratories was transferred to the U.S.
HHS, with the HHS’ NLCP contractor continuing to
have an active role in the performance testing and
laboratory inspection processes. Other Canadian
laboratories wishing to be considered for the NLCP
may apply directly to the NLCP contractor just as
U.S. laboratories do.
Upon finding a Canadian laboratory to be
qualified, HHS will recommend that DOT certify
the laboratory (Federal Register, July 16, 1996) as
meeting the minimum standards of the Mandatory
Guidelines published in the Federal Register on
April 30, 2010 (75 FR 22809). After receiving DOT
certification, the laboratory will be included in the
monthly list of HHS-certified laboratories and
participate in the NLCP certification maintenance
program.

Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) will publish a summary of
information collection requests under
OMB review, in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35). To request a copy of these

Project: Community Support Evaluation
(CSE)—New
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health
Services (CMHS), is requesting
clearance for the new data collection
associated with the CSE. The CSE is a
multicomponent evaluation of two
SAMHSA programs—Behavioral Health
Treatment Court Collaborative (BHTCC)
and Transforming Lives through
Supported Employment (SE). SE intends
to promote recovery for individuals
with serious mental illness, substance
use, and co-occurring mental and
substance use disorders. The programs
are rooted in the belief that recovery is
a holistic process bolstered by traumainformed care and individual- and
community-level support.
The purpose of the CSE is to (1)
describe and assess BHTCC and SE

grantee activities and procedures,
including the intermediate or direct
effects of the programs on participants;
(2) document the application and
sanctioned adaptations of BHTCC
programs in the justice system and of
the SE Program; and (3) design and
implement plans to disseminate
knowledge about how to replicate
effective projects in other States,
territories, tribal nations, and
communities. Findings will inform
current grantees, policymakers, and the
field about ways to transform the
behavioral health system to cultivate
resiliency and recovery, actively
collaborate with and engage, and
improve service delivery for individuals
with serious mental, substance, and cooccurring disorders who are in recovery.
Eight data collection activities
compose the CSE—five for
administration with BHTCC program
grantees and three to be conducted with
SE program grantees.
BHTCC Study Instruments
Biannual Program Inventory (BPI)–
BHTCC: The BPI–BHTCC is a Webbased survey that will capture
infrastructure development and direct
services that are part of the BHTCC
programs. Data include the types of
planning, infrastructure, and
collaboration grantees are
implementing; trainings conducted; and
direct services offered as part of the
program. The BPI will be completed by
grantee evaluation staff twice yearly
(April and October) over the grant
period.
System-Level Assessment (SLA) Key
Informant Interviews (KIIs): The SLA
KIIs will be conducted with five
stakeholders from each BHTCC grantee
to assess collaboration strategies to
expand or better serve participants;
processes for recruiting, screening, and
retaining participants; practices to
ensure treatment adherence and
criminal justice compliance; and
involvement of consumers in program
planning and implementation. Data
include implementation processes/
outcomes; service infrastructure,
capacity, entry, and delivery processes;
management structure; reward and
sanction models; trauma-informed
practices; collaboration among BHTCC
participants; and facilitators and
barriers to collaboration. There are three
versions of the SLA KIIs: (1) Court
personnel (administrators, coordinators,
judges, attorneys), (2) service provider
(case managers, BHTCC peer
specialists), and (3) consumer (clients,
family members). Grantee staff will
assist with respondent recruitment by
collecting consent to contact from
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:18 Feb 29, 2016
Jkt 238001
potential participants and forwarding
the forms to the CSE team. The SLA KIIs
will be conducted in grant years two
and four via telephone or Skype. The
SLA KIIs will cover the same
information across years; however, the
Year 4 SLA KIIs also will ask for
specific plans for future
implementation.
Concept Mapping: A total of four
concept mapping exercises will be
conducted—one local and three crosssite concept maps will be created. All
concept mapping exercises will be
coordinated at the local level with
assistance from the CSE team. Beginning
in Year two, each grantee will identify
and recruit up to 20 stakeholders
(BHTCC peers, consumers, family
members of consumers, and court
personnel) to participate in the first
exercise. Concept mapping will be
conducted via a Web-based program;
accommodations will be made for
respondents who do not have access to
computers via telephone or paper/
pencil.
D Exercise 1—Local Concept Maps:
Between Years two and three, each
BHTCC grantee will generate a local
concept map identifying the priority
supports for recovery. The exercise will
take place in two parts. First,
participants will be asked to brainstorm
as many responses as they wish to a
focus prompt about system-level change
(e.g., one way that this BHTCC
collaborative provides support to
consumers is . . .). At a later date, local
staff will ask participants to sort and
rate the full list of responses from the
brainstorming activity in ‘‘any way that
makes sense’’ to them. Respondents will
sort/rate the responses—once for
importance and once for frequency—
into groups and name them. The
resulting information will be entered
into Concept System software to
generate a local map identifying the
most important aspects of the grantee
program that support recovery.
D Exercise 2—Keys to Recovery (KTR)
Map 1: In Year four, up to 20
stakeholders from each BHTCC grantees
will participate in a second sorting/
rating of local concept mapping
information. Grantee staff will develop
a list of the most common brainstormed
responses to the original local concept
mapping exercise. The information will
be used to generate a cross-site map on
the basis of input from the 17 BHTCC
sites.
D Exercises 3 and 4—Keys to Recovery
Maps 2 and 3: In Year four, two groups
of up to five BHTCC grantees with a
particular court structure or program
focus (e.g., veterans’ court and other
BHTCC types of court models, such as
PO 00000
Frm 00078
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
key recovery supports addressing a
specific aspect or type of severe mental
illness) will participate in two concept
mapping exercises to generate KTR
maps. The program focus will be
determined after the initial site-specific
maps have been analyzed. Up to 20
stakeholders from each participating
grantee will engage in brainstorming
and sorting/rating activities.
Respondents will participate via Web,
telephone, or paper/pencil.
18-Month Client Level Abstraction
Tool: the 18-Month Tool is an Excelbased tool that collects existing data on
long-term client outcomes on
recidivism. Data include (1) rearrest
dates (from the National Crime
Information Center database), (2)
recommitment dates (from State
departments of corrections and local/
county jails and corrections), (3)
revocation dates (from State and local
corrections), and (4) risk assessment
quantitative score. Grantee staff will
complete the tool at 18 months from the
baseline period for any client enrolled
in the BHTCC program. Beginning in
year two, grantees will upload all
extracted data on a quarterly basis. In
their final upload (last month of grant
activity), grantees will include data for
all clients not currently submitted
including those enrolled less than 18
months. The 18-Month Tool will be
completed by BHTCC grantee evaluation
staff using existing sources. In addition,
court staff (e.g., court clerks) from two
BHTCC comparison courts will
complete the tool for non-BHTCC
participants as part of a comparison
study.
Comparison Study Client Level
Abstraction Tool: the Comparison Study
Tool is an Excel-based tool that collects
existing data on comparison cases
(individuals who are not participating
in the BHTCC program but are
comparable in program eligibility) at
baseline and six months. Baseline data
include demographics and status of
screening for co-occurring disorders,
employment, and probation/parole. Data
abstracted through the six-month tool
include employment status, probation/
parole status, services received (e.g.,
case management, treatment, medical
care, after care, peer-to-peer recovery
support, and education) and number of
days services were received.
Respondents will include court staff
(e.g., court clerks) at comparison courts
who have regular interaction with
clients during their involvement in the
justice system. Respondents will
complete the tool on the basis of (1)
court paperwork and (2) information
discussed during regular court-related
interactions.

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 40 / Tuesday, March 1, 2016 / Notices
SE Study Instruments
Biannual Program Inventory—SE: The
BPI–SE is a Web-based survey that
captures the infrastructure development
and direct services that are part of the
SE programs. Data include the types of
planning that SE grantees and local
implementation sites are implementing
and activities and infrastructure
developed as part of the project. The BPI
is administered twice yearly (April and
October) over the grant period and will
be completed by SE grantee program
staff.
Scalability/Sustainability Assessment
(SSA) KIIs: The SSA KIIs will be
conducted with various stakeholders to
assess local SE program resources,
infrastructure, outcomes, sustainability,
and scalability from stakeholders. Data
include changes in outcomes, workforce
development, State-level collaboration,
partnerships and policies, and
scalability and sustainability. There are
two versions of the SSA KIIs—each is
tailored to the intended audience: (1)
State-level administrator (project
directors, agency directors, SECC
members) and (2) local, pilot-level
service provider (local service provider).
The SSA KIIs will be conducted
remotely by telephone and/or Skype
technology in years two and four of the
evaluation with five stakeholders from
each SE grantee. The KIIs cover the
same information across years; however,
Year four KIIs will follow up on how the
infrastructure and activities taking place
in Year two come to fruition.
Employment Needs Focus Groups
(FGs): The employment needs FGs will
be conducted to gather information
about the needs and experiences of
employment specialists, consumers, and
employers as they relate to supported
employment principles and program
goals. Data include local program
implementation, the adoption of
policies and practices for sustainability
and scalability, and recommendations
for program improvement and
implementation best practices.
Employment Needs FGs will be
conducted with employment specialists
and employers (who have and have not
participated in the program) virtually
using a Web-based platform (such as
JoinMe) in years two and four of grant
funding. Specific topics are tailored to
respondent type.
D Employment specialists will discuss
training received and techniques used to
engage employers, the needs and
experiences of clients and employers,
facilitators and barriers to program
implementation, and program
scalability and sustainability. The
employment specialist FG will take 90
minutes.
D Employers (e.g., hiring managers,
supervisors) will discuss experiences
and satisfaction with the program,
factors that facilitate and pose barriers
to their participation, and program
scalability and sustainability. The
employer FG will take 60 minutes.
The estimated response burden to
collect this information associated with
the CSE is as follows, annualized over
the requested three-year clearance
period, as presented below:

the tool at 18 months from the baseline period for any client enrolled
in the BHTCC program. Beginning in year two, grantees will upload all
extracted data on a quarterly basis. In their final upload (last month
of grant activity), grantees will include data for all clients not
currently submitted including those enrolled less than 18 months. The
18-Month Tool will be completed by BHTCC grantee evaluation staff using
existing sources. In addition, court staff (e.g., court clerks) from
two BHTCC comparison courts will complete the tool for non-BHTCC
participants as part of a comparison study.
Comparison Study Client Level Abstraction Tool: the Comparison
Study Tool is an Excel-based tool that collects existing data on
comparison cases (individuals who are not participating in the BHTCC
program but are comparable in program eligibility) at baseline and six
months. Baseline data include demographics and status of screening for
co-occurring disorders, employment, and probation/parole. Data
abstracted through the six-month tool include employment status,
probation/parole status, services received (e.g., case management,
treatment, medical care, after care, peer-to-peer recovery support, and
education) and number of days services were received. Respondents will
include court staff (e.g., court clerks) at comparison courts who have
regular interaction with clients during their involvement in the
justice system. Respondents will complete the tool on the basis of (1)
court paperwork and (2) information discussed during regular court-
related interactions.

SE Study Instruments
Biannual Program Inventory--SE: The BPI-SE is a Web-based survey
that captures the infrastructure development and direct services that
are part of the SE programs. Data include the types of planning that SE
grantees and local implementation sites are implementing and activities
and infrastructure developed as part of the project. The BPI is
administered twice yearly (April and October) over the grant period and
will be completed by SE grantee program staff.
Scalability/Sustainability Assessment (SSA) KIIs: The SSA KIIs will
be conducted with various stakeholders to assess local SE program
resources, infrastructure, outcomes, sustainability, and scalability
from stakeholders. Data include changes in outcomes, workforce
development, State-level collaboration, partnerships and policies, and
scalability and sustainability. There are two versions of the SSA
KIIs--each is tailored to the intended audience: (1) State-level
administrator (project directors, agency directors, SECC members) and
(2) local, pilot-level service provider (local service provider). The
SSA KIIs will be conducted remotely by telephone and/or Skype
technology in years two and four of the evaluation with five
stakeholders from each SE grantee. The KIIs cover the same information
across years; however, Year four KIIs will follow up on how the
infrastructure and activities taking place in Year two come to
fruition.
Employment Needs Focus Groups (FGs): The employment needs FGs will
be conducted to gather information about the needs and experiences of
employment specialists, consumers, and employers as they relate to
supported employment principles and program goals. Data include local
program implementation, the adoption of policies and practices for
sustainability and scalability, and recommendations for program
improvement and implementation best practices. Employment Needs FGs
will be conducted with employment specialists and employers (who have
and have not participated in the program) virtually using a Web-based
platform (such as JoinMe) in years two and four of grant funding.
Specific topics are tailored to respondent type.
[ssquf] Employment specialists will discuss training received and
techniques used to engage employers, the needs and experiences of
clients and employers, facilitators and barriers to program
implementation, and program scalability and sustainability. The
employment specialist FG will take 90 minutes.
[ssquf] Employers (e.g., hiring managers, supervisors) will discuss
experiences and satisfaction with the program, factors that facilitate
and pose barriers to their participation, and program scalability and
sustainability. The employer FG will take 60 minutes.
The estimated response burden to collect this information
associated with the CSE is as follows, annualized over the requested
three-year clearance period, as presented below:
