meetings, technical assistance and
websites. Many of these services are
focused on information dissemination
activities. The purpose of this
submission is to extend the existing
generic approval for such surveys.
The primary use for information
gathered is to identify strengths and
weaknesses in current service
provisions by SAMHSA and to make
improvements that are practical and
feasible. Several of the customer
satisfaction surveys expected to be
implemented under this approval will
provide data for measurement of
program effectiveness under the
Government Performance and Results
Act. Information from these customer
surveys will be used to plan and
redirect resources and efforts to improve
or maintain a high quality of service to
health care providers and members of
the public. Focus groups may be used to
develop the survey questionnaire in
some instances.
The estimated annual hour burden is

The Substance Abuse and Mental

(SAMHSA) is requesting OMB approval
for a revision of SAMHSA’s
Publications and Digital Products
website Registration Survey (OMB No.
0930–0313). SAMHSA is authorized
under section 501(d)(16) of the Public
Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
290aa(d)(16)) to develop and distribute
materials for the prevention, treatment,
and recovery from mental and substance
use disorders. To improve customer
service and lessen the burden on the
public to locate and obtain these
materials, SAMHSA has developed a
website that includes more than 500 free
publications from SAMHSA and its
component Agencies. These products
are available to the public for ordering
and download. When a member of the
public chooses to order hard-copy
publications, it is necessary for
SAMHSA to collect certain customer
information in order to fulfill the
request. To further lessen the burden on
the public and provide the level of
customer service that the public has
come to expect from product websites,
SAMHSA has developed a voluntary
registration process for its publication
website that allows customers to create

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 218 / Monday, November 14, 2022 / Notices
accounts. Through these accounts,
SAMHSA customers are able to access
their order histories and save their
shipping addresses. During the website
registration process, SAMHSA will also
ask customers to provide optional
demographic information that helps
SAMHSA to evaluate the use and
distribution of its publications and
improve services to the public.
SAMHSA is employing a web-based
form for information collection to avoid
duplication and unnecessary burden on
customers who register for an account.
Customer information is submitted
electronically via web forms on the
samhsa.gov domain. Customers can
submit the web forms at their leisure, or
call SAMHSA’s toll-free Call Center and
an information specialist will submit
the forms on their behalf. The electronic
collection of information reduces the
burden on the respondent and
streamlines the data-capturing process.
The following revisions were made to
the SAMHSA Publications and Digital
Products website Registration Survey:
• Revision of the SAMHSA
Publications website Registration
Survey Questions.
• Addition of a SAMHSA Main Site
Survey version.
• Addition of a SAMHSA Store
Survey version.
SAMHSA estimates the burden of this
information collection as follows:

Proposed Project: SAMHSA SOAR
Web-Based Data Form (OMB No. 0930–
0329)—Revision
In 2009 the SAMHSA created a
Technical Assistance Center to assist in
the implementation of the Supplemental
Security Income (SSI)/Social Security
Disability Insurance (SSDI) Outreach,
Access, and Recovery (SOAR) effort in
all states. The primary objective of
SOAR is to improve the allowance rate
for the Social Security Administration’s
(SSA) disability benefits for people who
are experiencing or at risk of
homelessness, and who have serious
mental illnesses.
During the SOAR training, the
importance of keeping track of SSI/SSDI
applications through the process is
stressed. In response to requests from
states implementing SOAR, the
Technical Assistance Center under
SAMHSA’s direction developed a webbased data form that case workers can
use to track the progress of submitted
applications, including decisions
received from SSA either on initial
application or on appeal. This
password-protected web-based data
form is hosted on the SOAR Online
Application Tracking (OAT) website
(https://soartrack.samhsa.gov). Use of
this form is completely voluntary.
There are two parts to the SOAR Webbased Data Form. Part I of the SOAR
Web-based Data Form is intended for
SOAR-trained case workers to enter the
outcomes of SOAR-assisted SSI/SSDI
applications. Part II of the SOAR Webbased Data Form includes two sections

reserved for SOAR State Team Leads to
report annually. The first section of Part
II collects quantitative summary data
from states that do not track SOARassisted SSI/SSDI applications using the
SOAR Web-based Data Form Part I. The
second section of Part II collects
qualitative (open-ended) questions on
annual SOAR accomplishments,
identified challenges, and
collaborations.
Data from Part I of the SOAR Webbased Data Form can be compiled into
reports on decision results and the use
of SOAR critical components, such as
the SSA–1696 Appointment of
Representative, which allows SSA to
communicate directly with the case
worker assisting with the application.
These reports will be reviewed by
agency directors, SOAR state-level
leads, and the SAMHSA SOAR
Technical Assistance Center to quantify
the success of the effort overall and to
identify areas where additional
technical assistance is needed.
There are four proposed changes to
Part I of this form. Four additional
demographic questions will be asked in
Demographic section of the SOAR Data
Form Part I to include race, ethnicity,
gender, and expanded response options
re: involvement in the criminal justice
or legal system. These questions will be
answered by all 700 case worker
respondents, on average 3 times per
year. There are two proposed changes to
Part II. Two additional response options
were added into the Collaborations
section of the Qualitative Questionnaire
to provide respondents the opportunity
to describe collaborations with childserving organizations along with
whether meetings and trainings were for
SOAR for Adults or SOAR for Children.
These questions will be answered by 75
respondents once per year.
