In compliance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 concerning opportunity for public comment on proposed
collections of information, the
[[Page 69673]]
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) will
publish periodic summaries of 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
on (240) 276-1243.
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 collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other

Proposed Project: Emergency Response Grants Regulations--42 CFR Part
51--(OMB No. 0930-0229)--Extension
This rule implements section 501(m) of the Public Health Service
Act (42 U.S.C. 290aa), which authorizes the Secretary to make
noncompetitive grants, contracts or cooperative agreements to public
entities to enable such entities to address emergency substance abuse
or mental health needs in local communities. The rule establishes
criteria for determining that a substance abuse or mental health
emergency exists, the minimum content for an application, and reporting
requirements for recipients of such funding. SAMHSA will use the
information in the applications to make a determination that the
requisite need exists; that the mental health and/or substance abuse
needs are a direct result of the precipitating event; that no other
local, state, tribal or Federal funding sources are available to
address the need; that there is an adequate plan of services; that the
applicant has appropriate organizational capability; and, that the
budget provides sufficient justification and is consistent with the
documentation of need and the plan of services. Eligible applicants may
apply to the Secretary for either of two types of substance abuse and
mental health emergency response grants: Immediate awards and
Intermediate awards. The former are designed to be funded up to
$50,000, or such greater amount as determined by the Secretary on a
case-by-case basis, and are to be used over the initial 90-day period
commencing as soon as possible after the precipitating event; the
latter awards require more documentation, including a needs assessment,
other data and related budgetary detail. The Intermediate awards have
no predefined budget limit. Typically, Intermediate awards would be
used to meet systemic mental health and/or substance abuse needs during
the recovery period following the Immediate award period. Such awards
may be used for up to one year, with a possible second year supplement
based on submission of additional required information and data. This
program is an approved user of the PHS-5161 application form, approved
by OMB under control number 0920-0428. The quarterly financial status
reports in 51d.10(a)(2) and (b)(2) are as permitted by 45 CFR 92.41(b);
the final program report, financial status report and final voucher in
51d.10(a)(3) and in 51d.10(b)(3-4) are in accordance with 45 CFR
92.50(b). Information collection requirements of 45 CFR part 92 are
approved by OMB under control number 0990-0169. The following table
presents annual burden estimates for the information collection
requirements of this regulation.
