The PATH program provides funding to
help States and territories provide flexible, community-based
services for individuals with serious mental illnesses who are
homeless or at imminent risk of becoming homeless. There is a
statutory requirement that States and territories receiving funding
under this formula grant program provide a report not later than
January 31 a description of the purposes for which funds were
expended during the preceding fiscal year and of the recipients of
the monies, and determining whether such amounts were expended in
accordance with the provisions of the legislation.

Currently, there are 8,145
hours for States and Local Providers in the OMB inventory and 1,250
hours for Federal Government and contractors for a total of 9,395
hours. SAMHSA is requesting a revision of total burden hours to
9,230 hours. This request leads to a decrease of 165 hours due to a
decrease in the number of PATH providers.

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 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;
