This information collection is approved for 1 year. If the agency chooses to re-submit this collection request for clearance in advance of the expiration date, the agency shall submit to OMB 1) a list of number of participants, by program and by grant based on the current clearance and any available extant information; 2) a sampling plan for future information collection of this type (including a probabilistic sample or a universe sample, or some combination of the two); and 3) a scientific rationale for the choice of sampling to be used based on the availability of the list frame (see (1), above). The GPRA Modernization Act does not require a census approach to be taken to report program monitoring and performance data; furthermore, OMB Guidance on Agency Survey and Statistical Information Collection, question number 27, page 23, indicates that agencies need to justify their proposal to use a census rather than a sample survey.

CSAP is identifying recommended core measures for priority prevention constructs for use with different demographic groups. Grantees receiving initial funding will be expected to use measures that are appropriate to their prevention intervention project. This effort will strengthen accountability by standardizing and improving the quality of data available across grantees and programs. Grantees will report their data semi-annually to their respective data coordinating centers, which will submit the data to CSAP's data coordinating center.
Currently there are 19,523 hours in the CSAP NOMs OMB package. SAMHSA is requesting a total of 18,739 burden hours, an overall decrease of 784 hours in the inventory. The change is due to a decrease in the number responses based on the type of data collection (Communities do not do pre, post, follow-up) and that the burden hours for some programs are reduced because they only report on a selection of NOMs questions, not the full instrument. Therefore, the burden for data collection is decreasing even though SAMHSA/CSAP is requesting the addition of 6 items for adults and 3 for youth.
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).
