Each SAMHSA grantee reports
performance data to SAMHSA as part of their grant; however, little
is known about the impact of programs and the extent to which they
are sustained after Federal funding ends. The Multiplier Surveys
propose to address this lack of information by identifying program
factors, grantee characteristics and contextual factors that
support sustainability and effective grant implementation by
conducting one-time interviews with project directors and surveying
grantees from twelve programs selected from the three SAMHSA
Centers.
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 proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
