Project: Underage Drinking Prevention:
Town Hall Meeting Feedback Form—
New
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration’s
(SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse
Prevention (CSAP) is proposing a 2008
Underage Drinking Prevention: Town
Hall Meetings (THM) Initiative. In 2006,
approximately 1,510 THMs were held
by 1,262 community-based
organizations (CBO) throughout the
Nation. Each of the THMs strived to
increase the understanding and
awareness of underage alcohol use and
its consequences by encouraging
individuals, families, and communities
to address the problem. The local THMs
gave communities the opportunity to
come together to learn more about the
new research on underage alcohol use
and its impact on both the individuals
and the community. They also
discussed how their communities can
best prevent underage alcohol use.
To help guide decision making and
planning for future THMs, SAMHSA/
CSAP plans to conduct a process
assessment of the THMs to be held in
2008. CBOs that agree to participate in
this initiative will be asked to provide
feedback about the implementation and
results of the THMs in their community.

Please note that the Forms Package
includes nine forms for collecting
proposal information from small
businesses. As explained herein, these
separate forms are intended to reduce
burden and improve records
management by (1) allowing offerors to
submit identifying information only
once and then to reference that
previously submitted identifying
information in the submittal of
proposals, (2) eliminating the cost and
delay associated with the submission of
proposals via non-electronic means, (3)
facilitating timely review of proposals,
and (4) improving the accuracy of
records management for proposals. The
Department is committed to improving
its SBIR processes and urges all
interested parties to suggest how these
materials can further reduce burden

comments that:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary

agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Suggest ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
(4) Suggest ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submissions of responses.
