This data activity is to provide a level of consistency with the NOMs domain in SAMHSA-wide data collection and reporting of performance measures across all of its Centers and programs. This particular activity will promote the use of consistent measures among CMHS programs, grantees and contractors funded through the Programs of Regional and National Significance (PRNS) and the Children Mental Health Initiative (CMHI) budget lines. The Consumer NOMs recommended by CMHS are a result of extensive examination and recommendations, by panels of staff, experts, and grantees. Wherever feasible, the proposed measures are consistent with or build upon previous data development efforts within CMHS.
Currently, there are 29,298 total burden hours in the OMB inventory and CMHS is requesting 48,815 burden hours. The increase of 19,517 is a program change in burden due to the number of overall grant programs and number of respondents receiving mental health treatment services.
