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.

CSAP is identifying recommended core
measures for priority prevention constructs for use with different
demographic groups. Grantees receiving initial funding will be
expected to use measures that are appropriate to their prevention
intervention project. This effort will strengthen accountability by
standardizing and improving the quality of data available across
grantees and programs. Grantees will report their data
semi-annually to their respective data coordinating centers, which
will submit the data to CSAP's data coordinating center.
Currently there are 19,523
hours in the CSAP NOMs OMB package. SAMHSA is requesting a total of
18,739 burden hours, an overall decrease of 784 hours in the
inventory. The change is due to a decrease in the number responses
based on the type of data collection (Communities do not do pre,
post, follow-up) and that the burden hours for some programs are
reduced because they only report on a selection of NOMs questions,
not the full instrument. Therefore, the burden for data collection
is decreasing even though SAMHSA/CSAP is requesting the addition of
6 items for adults and 3 for youth.
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.
