The Community Mental Health Servies Program for Children with Serious Emotional Distrubances supports a broad array of community-based and family-centered services delivered through the system of care model. Most data collection instruments and procedures are built upon those used in the evaluation of Phase VI grantees.
Currently there are 28,156 hours in the OMB inventory. SAMHSA is requesting 24,055 hours for this submission, a decrease of 4,101 hours. This revision responds to a variety of program changes that explain the decrease in hours: 1) the addition of 9 sites funded in FY 2010 for which burden is estimated; 2) the estimate of burden for the remaining 3 years of data collection for sites funded in FY 2008 and FY 2009; 3) a reduction in the number of instruments requiring respondents for the Sector and Comparison Study; 4) addition of the Education Sector Caregiver Questionnaire; 5) the removal of data collection activities for the Alumni Networking Study, the CQI Initiative Evaluation, and the Sustainability Study.
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).
