SUBJECT CATEGORY: Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
DOCUMENT SUMMARY:
Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 2761243. Project: Measures of CoOccurring Infrastructure (OMB No. 09300284) Revision
SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health Services and Center for Substance Abuse Treatment conducts a data collection activity for providerlevel performance measures about the screening, assessment, and treatment of cooccurring disorders. The measures were developed with active input from COSIG grantees. Their input was also sought regarding suggestions for making the implementation and reporting processes as smooth as possible. Based on suggestions from COSIG grantees, CSAT has taken the following actions to improve data quality: Clarified instructions, simplified minimum required reporting, developed optional reporting methods, allowed grantees time to work out internal processes, and held monthly conference calls to answer grantee questions and to allow grantees to share experiences with implementation. These steps allow CSAT to enhance working relationships with the grantees and improve the overall quality of the data collection process.
Implementation will be limited to 16 of the States with Co occurring State Incentive Grants (COSIG) and States receiving COSIG grants in future years. COSIG grants enable States to develop or enhance their infrastructure and capacity to provide accessible, effective, comprehensive, coordinated/integrated, and evidencebased treatment services to persons with cooccurring substance abuse and mental disorders. Only the immediate Office of the Governor of States may receive COSIG grants, because SAMHSA considers the Office of the Governor to have the greatest potential to provide the multiagency leadership needed to accomplish COSIG goals. The COSIG program is part of SAMHSA's plan to achieve certain goals regarding services for persons with cooccurring substance use and mental disorders:
These measures will enable SAMHSA to benchmark and track progress toward these goals within COSIG States.
Information will be collected annually about the number and percentage of programs that offer screening, assessment, and treatment services for cooccurring disorders; and the number of clients actually screened, assessed, and treated through these programs. Information will also be collected annually about providers' policies regarding screening, assessment, and treatment services for persons with co occurring disorders.
A questionnaire, to be completed by providers, contains 47 items, answered either by checking a box or entering a number in a blank. The questionnaire is available both in printed form and electronically. Obtaining the information to enter on the questionnaire will require respondent providers to track screening, assessment, and treatment services for clients.
COSIG States will be required to report information to SAMHSA for all

providers directly participating in their COSIG projects. SAMHSA will

participating providers and for providers serving large numbers of clients. Annual burden for the activities is shown below:
