OMB expects that, prior to the next approval request for this ICR, the agency will develop electronic fillable forms for use at the Program/Facility level in an effort to reduce respondent burden.
Also, as per conversations with SAMHSA, the agency must clarify in the form's definition section that sedation for non-medical purposes qualifies as restraint.

The evaluation will utilize four separate instruments the: 1) Facility/Program Characteristics Inventory, 2) Inventory of Seclusion and Restraint Reduction Interventions, 3) Treatment Episode Data and the 4) Event Data.
Currently, the total burden was 9,702 hours. CMHS is requesting 2,870 hours for the current project. The decrease of 6,832 hours is due to a programmatic change in the number of mental health facilities participating in the evaluation from 49 to 21 facilities.
