The Community Mental Health Servies
Program for Children with Serious Emotional Distrubances supports a
broad array of community-based and family-centered services
delivered through the system of care model. Most data collection
instruments and procedures are built upon those used in the
evaluation of Phase VI grantees.
Currently there are 28,156
hours in the OMB inventory. SAMHSA is requesting 24,055 hours for
this submission, a decrease of 4,101 hours. This revision responds
to a variety of program changes that explain the decrease in hours:
1) the addition of 9 sites funded in FY 2010 for which burden is
estimated; 2) the estimate of burden for the remaining 3 years of
data collection for sites funded in FY 2008 and FY 2009; 3) a
reduction in the number of instruments requiring respondents for
the Sector and Comparison Study; 4) addition of the Education
Sector Caregiver Questionnaire; 5) the removal of data collection
activities for the Alumni Networking Study, the CQI Initiative
Evaluation, and the Sustainability Study.
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 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;

these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
