Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

    In compliance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 for opportunity for public comment on proposed data 
collection projects, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish periodic summaries of proposed 
projects. To request more information on the proposed projects or to 
obtain a copy of the data collection plans and instruments, call the 
SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on [phone].
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology.
Proposed Project: Obligated Service for Mental Health.
    Traineeships: Regulations and Forms--Extension--SAMHSA's Center for 
Mental Health Services (CMHS) awards grants to institutions for 
training instruction and traineeships in mental health and related 
disciplines. Graduate student recipients of these clinical traineeships 
must perform service, as determined by the Secretary to be appropriate 
in terms of the individual's training and experience, for a length of 
time equal to the period of support. The clinical trainees are required 
to submit the SMA 111, which ensures agency receipt of a termination 
notice prior to the end of support, and the SMA 111-2, which is an 
annual report on employment status and any changes in name and/or 
address, to SAMHSA.
    The annual burden estimates are as follows:
