SAMHSA uses the performance measures to report on the performance of its discretionary services grant programs. The information is used by individuals at three different levels: the SAMHSA administrator and staff, the Center administrators and government project officers, and grantees.
Currently there are 20,170 hours in the OMB inventory. SAMHSA is requesting a total of 66,326 burden hours, an overall increase of 46,156 hours in the inventory. The program change is due to an increase in burden of 49,720 hours (16,606 to 66,326) due to the addition of clients served by the ATR grantees and an increase of one minute to the current data collection activity.
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.
