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 (240) 276-1243.
Proposed Project: Multiplier Surveys--NEW
While all SAMHSA programming is intended to support the SAMHSA
vision of a life in the community for everyone, and its strategic goals
of accountability, capacity, and effectiveness, there has been little
systematic investigation of the long-range impact of different
categories of discretionary programs. The Multiplier Surveys will
inform SAMHSA policy and budget development by determining which types
of investments are most appropriate for achieving different policy
objectives, including sustainability of the program or its intended
outcomes after Federal funding ends. It also seeks to determine which
program types or factors are best at achieving certain objectives after
the conclusion of Federal funding, such as capacity improvement, system
change, sustainability and influence on other programs. Findings will
be used to make recommendations to SAMHSA management to better inform
policy and budget development and to determine which types of
investments are most appropriate for achieving different policy
objectives.
To achieve the goals of the Multiplier Surveys four programs have
been chosen from each of SAMHSA's three Centers. Four Project Directors
from each of the 12 programs (48 respondents in all), whose Federal
funding ended no later than September 30, 2008 will be interviewed by
telephone to determine how the project was sustained after Federal
funding ended and what factors contributed to its sustainability.
In addition, all grantees from each of the 12 selected programs
meeting inclusion criteria will be invited via e-mail to complete a
short on-line survey about their project and how/if it was sustained
after Federal funding ended. A 20 percent response rate or about 100
respondents to the on-line survey is expected.
The estimated response burden is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of Responses per Total Hours per
Information source respondents respondent responses response Total hours
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Project Director................ 48 1 48 1.25 60
Web-based Survey................ 100 1 100 .75 75
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total....................... 148 .............. 148 .............. 135
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written comments and recommendations concerning the proposed
information collection should be sent by September 16, 2010 to: SAMHSA
Desk Officer, Human Resources and Housing Branch, Office of Management
and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Room 10235, Washington, DC
20503; due to potential delays in OMB's receipt and processing of mail
sent through the U.S. Postal Service, respondents are encouraged to
submit comments by fax to: 202-395-5806.
Dated: August 10, 2010.
