Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 145 / Monday, August 2, 2021 / Notices
entered and stored in SAMSHA’s
Performance Accountability and
Reporting System, which is a real-time,
performance management system that
captures information on the substance
abuse treatment and mental health
services delivered in the United States.
Continued approval of this information
collection will allow SAMHSA to
continue to meet Government
Performance and Results Modernization
Act of 2010 reporting requirements that
quantify the effects and
accomplishments of its discretionary
grant programs, which are consistent
with OMB guidance.
SAMHSA will use the data for annual
reporting required by GPRA and
comparing baseline with discharge and
follow-up data. GPRA requires that
SAMHSA’s fiscal year report include
actual results of performance
monitoring for the three preceding fiscal
years. The additional information
collected through this process will
allow SAMHSA to: (1) Report results of
these performance outcomes; (2)
maintain consistency with SAMHSAspecific performance domains, and (3)
assess the accountability and
performance of its discretionary grant
programs including a focus on health
equity.
In revising the CSAT–GPRA tool,
CSAT sought to improve functionality
while also eliciting programmatic
information that demonstrates impact at
the client level. In this way, data from
the revised GPRA tool can be used to
assess resource allocation and to
delineate who we serve, how we serve
them, and how the program impacts
clients from entry to discharge. The tool
reflects CSAT’s desire to elicit pertinent
client and program level data that can
be used to not only guide future
programs and practice, but to also
respond to stakeholder, congressional
and agency enquiries.

SAMHSA is requesting approval for
revisions to the previously approved

activities for the Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA)
Center Mental Health Services (CMHS)
(OMB No. 0930–0285) that expires on
February 28, 2022.

To be fully accountable for the
spending of federal funds, SAMHSA
requires all programs to collect and
report data to ensure that program goals
and objectives are met. Data is collected
and used to monitor and improve
performance of each program and
ensure appropriate and thoughtful
spending of federal funds.
SAMHSA requests the following
revisions to the National Outcome
Measures (NOMS) Mental Health Client/
Participant Outcome measures: (1)
Merge the CMHS NOMS Child Clientlevel Measures for Discretionary
Programs data collection instrument
with the current CMHS NOMS Adult
Client-level Measures for Discretionary
Programs data collection instrument; (2)
delete questions for data not being
utilized for program monitoring and
quality improvement; (3) reduce grantee
burden by shifting questions for a fivepoint psychometric response scale to
‘‘Yes’’, ‘‘No’’, ‘‘No response’’, or ‘‘Not
applicable’’ responses; (4) modify IDC–
10 diagnoses to expand the F40–48,
F60–63, and F90–99 codes to allow for
more specificity. Also, add ICD–10 ‘‘Z’’
codes to allow for a focus on social
determinants of health that may affect
the diagnosis, course, prognosis, or
treatment of a client/consumer mental
disorder; (6) shift reporting NOMS data
to baseline assessment, 3-month or 6month reassessment, and a final clinical
discharge assessment; (7) reduce the
number of physical health indictors and
reporting frequency from quarterly to
three points in time (baseline, 3- or 6-
month reassessment, clinical discharge)
to further reduce grantee burden.
SAMHSA also requests the following
revisions to the Infrastructure,
Prevention, and Mental Health
Promotion indicators: (1) Delete ten
indicators not used by any SAMSHA
programs (A3, A6, F1, F2, F3, O2, T4,
WD1, WD3, and WD4); (2) revise two
indicators to provide more clarity (A1
and A5); and (3) add ten indicators to
reflect program developments during
the past three years (R2, S2, S3, T5, T6,
T7, T8, TR2, TR3, and TR4).
These changes will lessen grantee
burden with data collection and
improve capacity to report qualitative
performance and quantitative outcomes
for all discretionary grant programs,
including: Demographic characteristics
of clients served; clinical characteristics
of clients served before, during, and
after receipt of services; numbers of
clients served; and characteristics of
services and activities provided to
clients.
Currently, the information collected
from this instrument is entered and
stored on SAMHSA’s Performance
Accountability and Reporting System
(SPARS), which is a real-time,
performance management system that
captures information on mental health
and substance abuse treatment services
delivered in the United States.
Continued approval of this information
collection will allow SAMHSA to
continue to meet Government
Performance and Results Modernization
Act of 2010 (GPRMA) reporting
requirements that quantify the effects
and accomplishments of its
discretionary grant programs, which are
consistent with OMB guidance.
SAMHSA will use the data collected
for annual reporting required by
GPRMA, to describe and understand
changes in outcomes from baseline to
follow-up to discharge. SAMHSA and
its Centers will use the data for annual
reporting comparing baseline with
discharge and follow-up data.
SAMHSA’s report for each fiscal year
will include actual results of
performance monitoring for the three
preceding fiscal years. Information
collected through this request will allow
SAMHSA to report on the results of
these performance outcomes as well as
be consistent with SAMHSA-specific
performance domains, and to assess the
accountability and performance of its
discretionary and formula grant
programs. The additional information
collected through this request will allow
SAMHSA to improve its ability to assess
the impact of its programs on key
outcomes of interest and to gather vital
diagnostic information about clients
served by discretionary grant programs.
The requested changes will result in
a reduction of total burden hours.
Currently, there are 104,168 total
burden hours in the OMB-approved
inventory. SAMHSA is requesting a
reduction to 68,673 hours or an
estimated decrease of 35,494 burden
hours. The proposed estimate of time to
collect data and complete the
instruments is shown in Table 1.
