Proposed Project: SAMHSA Exhibit Program Request Form—New—The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has developed a new SAMHSA Exhibit Program for conferences and events. The new exhibit booth supports SAMHSA's vision of “A Life in the Community for Everyone” and its mission of “Building Resilience and Facilitating Recovery.”

The Exhibit Program was developed to raise visibility for program priorities in targeted forums, share information with the public on agency services, and to ensure consistent and coordinated messages about SAMHSA's vision and mission. This brief form requests information needed by SAMHSA to respond to requests from outside organizations that would like SAMHSA's participation in their conference.

Send comments to Nancy Pearce, SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer, Room 16-105, Parklawn Building, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857. Written comments should be received within 60 days of this notice.
