The PAIMI formula grant program provides funds to support activities on behalf of individuals with mental illness. Recipients of program funding are required by law to report annually such information as the number of indivdiuals served, types of facilities involved, and their priorities, activities and accomplishments. The PAIMI Annual Program Performance Report must also include a separate report prepared by the PAIMI Advisory Council describing its activities and assessing the operation of the protection and advocacy system.
Currently, there are 2,166 hours in the OMB inventory. The program is requesting 2,052 hours. The decrease of 114 hours is due to a reduction in program case example information (Section 2) from the grantees. Specifically grantees are asked to only provide one (1) case example per priority (goal) rather than an example for each priority (goal) and objective.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
