SAMHSA's PBHCI grantees have been developing and implementing an array of integrated services designed to improve the physical and behavioral health status of people with serious mental illnesses, including individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders. These services incorporate a prevention and wellness approach and are provided using different models of cooperation and collaboration between community behavioral health and primary care.
Currently there are 2,800 burden hours in the OMB inventory. SAMHSA/CMHS is requesting 1,376 hours. The program change of a decrease of 1,424 hours is due to the following: the deletion of the physical health indicators (a reduction of -2,240 hours, -28,000 responses) and the increased burden associated with the additional 102 grantees completing quarterly reports (an increase of 816 hours, 408 responses).
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.
