Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a list of information collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (301) 443-7978.

Treatment Outcomes and Performance Pilot Studies (TOPPS)--(OMB No. 0930-0182; Extension)

The TOPPS program awarded contracts to 14 States to develop and pilot test performance and outcomes measures for substance abuse treatment services. The pilot studies are collecting data from substance abuse clients, including pregnant women, women with dependent children, adolescents, and managed care clients. Measures of addiction severity and other outcomes are being obtained at admission, discharge and post-discharge. These States were granted OMB clearance on data collection until September 30, 1999. SAMHSA is requesting an extension of OMB approval for one of these States, Utah, to allow them to complete data collection. The estimated burden for this extension is summarized below.
