In compliance with Section

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 at (240) 276–

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

Proposed Project: State Targeted
Response to the Opioid Crisis Grant
Program Mid-Year and End-Year
Performance Reports
(OMB No. 0930–0378)—In Use Without
OMB Approval
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) is authorized under Section
1003 of the 21st Century Cures Act, as
amended, to support a grant program,
for up to 2 years, that addresses the
supplemental activities pertaining to
opioids currently undertaken by the
state agency or territory and will
PO 00000
Frm 00109

support a comprehensive response to
the opioid epidemic.
SAMHSA received approval from
OMB in September 2017 to collect
performance data from Opioid State
Targeted Response (STR) grantees (OMB
No. 0930–0378). However, SAMHSA
omitted a data collection table (Table E)
in the original OMB request. This data
table is currently in use by Opioid STR
grantees, who are reporting Table E data
to SAMHSA on a semi-annual basis. In
order to correct this violation, SAMHSA
is now seeking OMB approval for a new
data collection package that includes
not only the instruments originally
approved by OMB in September 2017,
but also this additional data collection
table. It is important for SAMHSA to
continue to collect this information in
order to assess the impact of funding
from the Opioid STR program on
increasing access to prevention
strategies, as well as treatment and
recovery services to address the opioid
crisis. Additionally, this data will
provide SAMHSA with critical
information to effectively manage the
Opioid STR program, to help states and
territories adopt, or scale-up, effective
practices and policies, and to help
prepare to implement the new State
Opioid Response grant program.
The primary purpose of the Opioid
STR program is to address the opioid
crisis by increasing access to treatment,
reducing unmet treatment need, and
reducing opioid overdose related deaths
through the provision of prevention,
treatment and recovery activities for
opioid use disorder (OUD) (including
prescription opioids as well as illicit
drugs such as heroin).
There are 57 (states and jurisdictions)
award recipients in this program. All
funded states and jurisdictions report on
their implementation and performance
through an online data collection
system. Award recipients report
performance on the following measures
specific to this program: number of
people who receive OUD treatment,
number of people who receive OUD
recovery services, number of providers
implementing medication-assisted
treatment, and the number of OUD
prevention and treatment providers
trained, to include nurse practitioners,
physician assistants, as well as
physicians, nurses, counselors, social
workers, case managers, etc. This
information is collected at the mid-point
and conclusion of each grant award
year. Additionally, each award recipient
describes the purposes for which the
grant funds received were expended and
the activities implemented under the
program.

Project: Minority AIDS InitiativeManagement Reporting Tools (MAI–
MRTs)
OMB No. 0930–0357—Revision
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse
Prevention (CSAP) is requesting from
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approval for the revision of
Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI)
monitoring tools, which includes both
youth and adult questionnaires as well
as the quarterly progress report. This
revision includes the inclusion of new
cohorts, substantial revisions to the
youth and adult questionnaires, updates
to the data used to estimate response
rates and expected numbers of
participants by service duration (see
Table 1 below).
The cohorts of grantees funded by the
MAI and included in this clearance
request are:
• Capacity Building Initiative (CBI)
2015
• Capacity Building Initiative (CBI)
2016
• Capacity Building Initiative (CBI)
2017
• Capacity Building Initiative (CBI)
2018
• Prevention Navigators 2017
• Secretary’s Minority AIDS Initiative
Fund (SMAIF) 2018
The target population for the CBI
grantees will be at-risk minority
adolescents and young adults. All MAI
grantees are expected to report their
monitoring data using SAMHSA’s
Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF)
and to target minority populations, as
well as other high risk groups residing
in communities of color with high
prevalence of Substance Abuse and
HIV/AIDS. The primary objectives of the
monitoring tools include:
• Assess the success of the MAI in
reducing risk factors and increasing
protective factors associated with the
transmission of the Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV),
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) and other
sexually-transmitted diseases (STD).
• Measure the effectiveness of evidencebased programs and infrastructure
development activities such as:
Outreach and training, mobilization of
PO 00000
Frm 00110

key stakeholders, substance abuse and
HIV/AIDS counseling and education,
testing, referrals to appropriate
medical treatment and/or other
intervention strategies (i.e., cultural
enrichment activities, educational and
vocational resources, social marketing
campaigns, and computer-based
curricula).
• Investigate intervention types and
features that yield the best outcomes
for specific population groups.
• Assess the extent to which access to
health care was enhanced for
population groups and individuals
vulnerable to behavioral health
disparities residing in communities
targeted by funded interventions.
• Assess the process of adopting and
implementing the SPF with the target
populations.
Revisions to the monitoring tools
include the following:
Quarterly Progress Report (QPR)
• Removed Numbers Served, HIV
Testing, VH Testing, VH Vaccination,
and Referrals for Services Not Funded
by MAI funds from the
Implementation Section. These data
will be collected via the participant
level
• Added opioid items to lists for
targeted outcome measures, name of
direct services list, indirect services—
environmental strategy list and
environmental strategy purpose
• Added Promising Approaches and
Innovations Section (2 questions)
• Added upload screen for Final
Evaluation Report (for closeout
grantees only) tool
The following two tools have been
added to this data collection, but were
approved under OMB No. 0930–0347
with the exception of the new items
listed below. Items that were removed
are due to their not being central to the
evaluation.
Adult Questionnaire
• Aligned questions with the Center for
Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT)/
Center for Mental Health Service
(CMHS) tools & the Rapid HIV
Hepatitis Form, where possible
• Removed some demographic
questions related to language,
education, employment status, health,
