This information
collection is approved for 1 year. If the agency chooses to
re-submit this collection request for clearance in advance of the
expiration date, the agency shall submit to OMB 1) a list of number
of participants, by program and by grant based on the current
clearance and any available extant information; 2) a sampling plan
for future information collection of this type (including a
probabilistic sample or a universe sample, or some combination of
the two); and 3) a scientific rationale for the choice of sampling
to be used based on the availability of the list frame (see (1),
above). The GPRA Modernization Act does not require a census
approach to be taken to report program monitoring and performance
data; furthermore, OMB Guidance on Agency Survey and Statistical
Information Collection, question number 27, page 23, indicates that
agencies need to justify their proposal to use a census rather than
a sample survey.

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 26,993
burden hours in the OMB inventory. CMHS is now requesting 29,298
hours. This increase of 2,305 hours is due to the additional
questions.
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.
