This data activity is to provide a
level of consistency with the NOMs domain in SAMHSA-wide data
collection and reporting of performance measures across all of its
Centers and programs. This particular activity will promote the use
of consistent measures among CMHS programs, grantees and
contractors funded through the Programs of Regional and National
Significance (PRNS) and the Children Mental Health Initiative
(CMHI) budget lines. The Consumer NOMs recommended by CMHS are a
result of extensive examination and recommendations, by panels of
staff, experts, and grantees. Wherever feasible, the proposed
measures are consistent with or build upon previous data
development efforts within CMHS.
Currently, there are 48,815
total burden hours in the OMB inventory and CMHS is requesting
78,096 burden hours. The increase of 29,281 is a program change in
burden due to the number of overall grant programs and number of
respondents receiving mental health treatment services.
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).
