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.

Protection and Advocacy for Individuals with Mental Illness (PAIMI) Final Rule, 42 CFR Part 51 (OMB No. 0930-0172; Extension, no change)—These regulations meet the directive under 42 U.S.C. 10826(b) requiring the Secretary to promulgate final regulations to carry out the PAIMI Act. The regulations contain information collection requirements.

The Act authorized funds to support activities on behalf of individuals with mental illness. Recipients of this formula grant program are required by law to annually report their activities and accomplishments to include the number of individuals served, types of facilities involved, types of activities undertaken and accomplishments resulting from such activities. This summary must also include a separate report prepared by the PAIMI Advisory Council descriptive of its activities and assessment of the operations of the protection and advocacy system. The annual burden estimate for the reporting requirements for these regulations is shown in the following table.

42 CFR Citation	Number of respondents	Responses per respondent	Burden per response (Hrs.)	Total annual burden
51.(8)(a)(2) Program Performance Report	56	1	26.0	1,456

51.25(b)(2) Grievance Procedure	56	1	.5	28

Total	56			2,184
Responses and burden hours associated with these reports are approved under OMB Control No. 0930-0169.
There is no burden estimate associated with this program provision because State P&A systems report that they attempt to resolve such situations through other means.
