DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
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
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (301) 443-7978.
Community Mental Health Services Block Grant Application Guidance
and Instructions, FY 2005-2007 (OMB No. 0930-0168, Revision)--Sections
1911 through 1920 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300x
through 300x-9) provide for annual allotments to assist States to
establish or expand an organized, community-based system of care for
adults with serious mental illness and children with serious emotional
disturbances. Under the provisions of the law, States may receive
allotments only after an application is submitted and approved by the
Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
For the Federal fiscal years 2005-2007 Community Mental Health
Services Block Grant application cycles, SAMHSA will provide States
with revised application guidance and instructions. Proposed revisions
to the previously approved application include: (1) additional
introductory text on the history and goals of Federal mental health
funding and an orientation to the transition to Performance
Partnerships Grants, (2) changes in the format of the plan, and (3) the
introduction of 10 performance indicators as SAMHSA/CMHS Core
Performance Indicators. Four of the ten (10) indicators are expected to
be reported in the FY 2005 State plan. These indicators can be derived
from the basic and developmental tables in the Uniform Reporting System
(URS). If States are unable to collect and report the data for any of
the tables from which the core indicators are constructed, the State
Level Data Reporting Capacity Checklist should be completed. However,
States are encouraged to complete and include in the plan all
indicators that can be constructed from available data in the URS
Tables. States will have three years to develop capacity to report on
all of the performance indicators. CMHS anticipates that reporting the
Core Performance Indicators will increase the State's burden by 15
hours per State. The following table summarizes the annual burden for
the revised application.
