SAMHSA's grant recipients are currently required to submit various types of performance reports in accordance with their individual program requirements. The data collections will be designed to standardize program monitoring and performance reports of SAMHSA's grants. Program offices will use information collected under this generic clearance to monitor funding recipient activities and to provide support or take appropriate action, as needed.
A generic clearance would provide SAMHSA's program offices the flexibility to create and use tailored information collection templates based on current program reporting requirements. This is important to allow for SAMHSA's:
• Monitoring of compliance with federal practice, guidelines, and requirements,
• Oversight of the implementation of the scope of the grant activities with the grant recipients' proposed project,
• Assessment of the efficiency and efficacy of recipient activities,
• Quick understanding of and remediation to national, regional, and/or site-specific issues,
• Provision of additional support and technical assistance, as needed,
• Documentation of promising practices, innovative services, and program strengths, and
• Flexible and responsive oversight of federal funds.
A variety of performance reports will be used for collection. Program offices will use information collected under this generic clearance to monitor funding recipient activities and to provide support or take appropriate action, as needed.
A variety of instruments and platforms will be used to collect information from respondents. The annual burden hours requested (180,000) are based on the number of collections we expect to conduct over the requested period for this clearance.
The estimated annual hour burden is as follows:
| Type of respondent | Number of respondents | Responses per respondent | Total responses | Hours per response | Total annual burden hours | Hourly wage cost | Total hour cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Progress Report Template (Annual) | 4,000 | 1 | 4,000 | 8 | 32,000 | $26 | $832,000 |
| Progress Report (Interim) | 2,500 | 2 | 5,000 | 6 | 30,000 | 26 | 780,000 |
| Grant Closeouts | 1,000 | 1 | 1,000 | 10 | 10,000 | 26 | 260,000 |
| Site Visit Report Template | 4,000 | 1 | 4,000 | 6 | 24,000 | 26 | 624,000 |
