DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
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 information
requests, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) will publish periodic summaries of each proposed collection of
information. To request a copy of these documents, contact the SAMHSA
Reports Clearance Officer on (301) 443-8005.
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: The 1997 Sample Survey of Mental Health
Organizations and General Hospitals with Separate Psychiatric
Services--Revision of the Inventory of Mental Health Organizations and
General Hospital Mental Health Services (IMHO/GHMHS). The survey will
be conducted in two phases. Phase I will be a brief two page inventory
consisting of two forms--one for all organizations that provide mental
health treatment services and the other for all managed behavioral
health care organizations. Phase II will be a sample survey of 3,800
organizations drawn from the universe of organizations providing mental
health treatment services identified in the first phase. The sample
survey will use a more comprehensive, but very similar form to the one
used in the 1994 IMHO/GHMHS. The organizational data to be collected
include ownership and management, client/patient
[[Page 66382]]
demographics, revenues and expenditures, and staffing. The dataset
produced will be used to provide national statistical estimates and
will be the basis of the National Directory of Mental Health Services.
The annual burden estimate is as follows:
