• Awareness of UAD activities that
have taken place as a result of the event;
• Community mobilization and
collaboration efforts;
• Perception of the importance of
UAD and its consequences to the

SAMHSA supports nationwide
Communities Talk events every other
year. Collecting data on each round of
Communities Talk events, and using
this information to inform policy and
measure impact, supports SAMHSA’s
strategic initiative number 1: Prevention
of substance use and mental illness. A
specific goal under this initiative is to
prevent or reduce the consequences of
UAD and adult problem drinking; a
specific objective is to establish the
prevention of UAD as a priority issue for
states, territories, tribal entities, colleges
and universities, and communities.
SAMHSA will use the information
collected to document the
implementation efforts of this
nationwide initiative, determine if the
federally sponsored Communities Talk
events lead to additional activities
within the community that are aimed at
preventing and reducing UAD, identify
what these activities may possibly
include, and help plan for future rounds
of Communities Talk events. SAMHSA
intends to post online a summary
PO 00000
Frm 00048
Fmt 4703

document of each round of
Communities Talk events and present
findings at national conferences
attended by CBOs that have hosted
these events and might host future
events. Similarly, SAMHSA plans to
share findings with the Interagency
Coordinating Committee on the
Prevention of Underage Drinking.
Agencies within this committee
encourage their grantees to participate
as the event hosts.
Additionally, the information
collected will support performance
measurement for SAMHSA programs
under the Government Performance
Results Act (GPRA).
Data Collection Component
SAMHSA/CSAP will use a web-based
method to collect data through the
Organizer Survey and Organizer
Survey—6 month Follow-up, and a
paper-and-pencil approach to collect
data through the Participant Form. The
web-based application will comply with
the requirements of Section 508 of the
Rehabilitation Act to permit
accessibility to people with disabilities.
Every 2 years, the Organizer Survey
will be completed by an estimated 500
Communities Talk event organizers and
will require only one response per
respondent. It will take an average of 10
minutes (0.167 hours) to review the
instructions and complete the survey.
Similarly, the Organizer Survey—6
month Follow-up will be completed by
an estimated 500 Communities Talk
event organizers and will require only
one response per respondent. It will
take an average of 15 minutes (0.25
hours) to review the instructions and
complete the survey. This burden
estimate is based on comments from
three 2016 Communities Talk even
hosts who reviewed the survey and

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 216 / Tuesday, November 8, 2016 / Notices
provided comments on how long it
would take them to complete it.
The Participant Form will be
completed by an average of 30
participants per sampled communitybased organization (n = 400) and will
require only one response per
respondent. It will take an average of 5
minutes (0.083 hours) to review the
instructions and complete the form.

31, 2017. Revisions were made to the two existing data collection
instruments: The Organizer Survey and the Participant Form (English and
Spanish versions). SAMHSA is requesting to add a new data collection
instrument titled the Organizer Survey--6 month Follow-up, in which
hosts of the Communities Talk events will opt in to provide information
on any actions that were taken as result of the Communities Talk event.
Changes
Under the current approval, the Organizer Survey consists of 30
items. Under this revision, the Organizer Survey includes 20 items
about the Communities Talk event. The following table provides a
summary of the proposed changes to the instrument.

CBOs that opt in to be contacted 6 months after completing the
Organizer Survey for SAMHSA to follow up on any actions that were taken
as a result of the Communities Talk event in their community will be
provided with the Organizer Survey--6 month Follow-up. This survey will
allow SAMHSA to measure progress towards the short- and long-term
outcomes of the Communities Talk, specifically--
Short-Term

Increase utility of technical assistance.

The Organizer Survey--6 month Follow-up consists of 13 items and

Awareness of UAD activities that have taken place as a
result of the event;
Community mobilization and collaboration efforts;
Perception of the importance of UAD and its consequences
to the community; and
Increase in youth involvement in UAD prevention activities
in the community.
SAMHSA supports nationwide Communities Talk events every other
year. Collecting data on each round of Communities Talk events, and
using this information to inform policy and measure impact, supports
SAMHSA's strategic initiative number 1: Prevention of substance use and
mental illness. A specific goal under this initiative is to prevent or
reduce the consequences of UAD and adult problem drinking; a specific
objective is to establish the prevention of UAD as a priority issue for
states, territories, tribal entities, colleges and universities, and
communities.
SAMHSA will use the information collected to document the
implementation efforts of this nationwide initiative, determine if the
federally sponsored Communities Talk events lead to additional
activities within the community that are aimed at preventing and
reducing UAD, identify what these activities may possibly include, and
help plan for future rounds of Communities Talk events. SAMHSA intends
to post online a summary document of each round of Communities Talk
events and present findings at national conferences attended by CBOs
that have hosted these events and might host future events. Similarly,
SAMHSA plans to share findings with the Interagency Coordinating
Committee on the Prevention of Underage Drinking. Agencies within this
committee encourage their grantees to participate as the event hosts.
Additionally, the information collected will support performance
measurement for SAMHSA programs under the Government Performance
Results Act (GPRA).
Data Collection Component
SAMHSA/CSAP will use a web-based method to collect data through the
Organizer Survey and Organizer Survey--6 month Follow-up, and a paper-
and-pencil approach to collect data through the Participant Form. The
web-based application will comply with the requirements of Section 508
of the Rehabilitation Act to permit accessibility to people with
disabilities.
Every 2 years, the Organizer Survey will be completed by an
estimated 500 Communities Talk event organizers and will require only
one response per respondent. It will take an average of 10 minutes
(0.167 hours) to review the instructions and complete the survey.
Similarly, the Organizer Survey--6 month Follow-up will be completed by
an estimated 500 Communities Talk event organizers and will require
only one response per respondent. It will take an average of 15 minutes
(0.25 hours) to review the instructions and complete the survey. This
burden estimate is based on comments from three 2016 Communities Talk
even hosts who reviewed the survey and
[[Page 78613]]
provided comments on how long it would take them to complete it.
The Participant Form will be completed by an average of 30
participants per sampled community-based organization (n = 400) and
will require only one response per respondent. It will take an average
of 5 minutes (0.083 hours) to review the instructions and complete the
form.
