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.
