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 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, contact 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: 1997 Inventory of Mental Health Services in 
Juvenile Justice Facilities--New--This survey will gather information 
for the first time about the availability of mental health services in 
the universe of approximately 3,100 juvenile justice facilities 
nationwide. State and national information will be collected about the 
organization of mental health services, characteristics of youth 
receiving these services, and mental health staffing patterns and 
costs. Automated collection techniques are not cost-effective for this 
survey. The total annual burden estimate is shown below.
