(240)276-1243. Project: Addiction Technology Transfer Centers

(ATTC)Network Program Monitoring (OMB No. 0930-0216)—Revision The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration's (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment

(CSAT)will continue to monitor program performance of its Addiction Technology Transfer Centers (ATTCs). The ATTCs disseminate current health services research from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, National Institute of Mental Health, Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, National Institute of Justice, and other sources, as well as other SAMHSA programs. To accomplish this, the ATTCs develop and update state-of-the-art, research-based curricula and professional development training. Each of the forms is described below. There are no changes to any of the forms. Sixty percent of the forms are administered in person to participants at educational and training events, who complete the forms by paper and pencil. Ten percent of the training courses are online, and thus, those forms are administered online. The remaining thirty percent is made up of those 30-day follow-up forms that are distributed to consenting participants via electronic mail using an online survey tool. *Event Description:* The event description form asks approximately 10 questions of the ATTC faculty/staff for each of the ATTC events. The approved form asks the event focus, format, and publications to be used in the event. *Technical Assistance and Meeting Pre-event Information:* The ATTCs provide technical assistance, which is a jointly planned consultation generally involving a series of contacts between the ATTC and an outside organization/institution during which the ATTC provides expertise and gives direction toward resolving a problem or improving conditions. A meeting is an ATTC sponsored or co-sponsored event in which a group of people representing one or more agencies other than the ATTC work cooperatively on a project, problem, and/or a policy. For technical assistance and meeting events, the pre-event information form asks approximately 10 questions of each individual who participated in the event. The approved form asks the participants to report their demographic information, education, work setting, responsibilities, and training goals. Satisfaction measures after each technical assistance and meeting event and at 30-day follow-up will be collected using the CSAT Government Performance and Results Act

(GPRA)Customer Satisfaction forms. The burden has been approved under OMB # 0930-0197. Training Forms Trainings are defined as ATTC sponsored or co-sponsored events, mainly focusing on the enhancement of knowledge and/or skills of counselors and other professionals who work with individuals with substance use disorder-related problems. The study design for trainees will include a description of each event, and a pre-post survey that collects identical information at initiation of ATTC courses/trainings, at the completion of the course/training, and again after 30 days. *Pre-Event Information Form for Training:* The pre-event information form for training asks approximately 10 questions of each participant in the training. The approved form asks the participants to report demographic information, education, work setting, responsibilities, and training goals. *Post-Event Information Form for Training:* The Post-Event Information Form for Training asks approximately 30 questions of each individual that participated in the training. The approved form asks the participants to report demographic information, satisfaction with the quality of the training and training materials, and to assess their level of skills in the topic area. *Followup Information Form for Training:* The Followup Information Form for Training asks about 10 questions of about 25% of consenting participants. The approved form asks the participants to report demographic information, satisfaction with the quality of the training and training materials, and to assess their level of skills in the topic area. This information will assist CSAT in documenting the numbers and types of participants in ATTC events, describing the extent to which participants report improvement in their clinical competency, and which method is most effective in disseminating knowledge to various audiences. This type of information is crucial to support CSAT in complying with GPRA reporting requirements and will inform future development of knowledge dissemination activities.

(240)276-1243. Proposed Project: Cross-site Evaluation of the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Suicide Prevention and Early Intervention Programs—New The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services

(CMHS)will conduct the cross-site evaluation of the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Suicide Prevention and Early Intervention State/Tribal Programs and the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Suicide Prevention Campus Programs. The data collected through the cross-site evaluation will address four stages of program activity:

(1)The context stage will assess the existing databases and availability of data sources,

(2)the product stage will describe the products and services that are developed and utilized by these programs,

(3)the process stage will assess the progress on key activities and milestones related to implementation of program plans, and

(4)the impact stage will assess the impact of program activities on youth/students, gatekeepers, faculty/staff, and program partners within States/Tribal sites and campus sites. In addition, enhanced evaluation efforts are planned for the Tennessee Lives Count Suicide Prevention Program. The purpose of the enhanced evaluation is to expand upon self-evaluation and cross-site evaluation efforts to evaluate medium- and long-term outcomes associate with suicide prevention program activities. There are 36 State/Tribal programs and 55 Campus programs participating in the cross-site evaluation. Data will be collected from suicide prevention program staff (project directors, evaluators), key program stakeholders (state/local officials, child-serving agency directors, gatekeepers, mental health providers, campus administrators), training participants, college students, and campus faculty/staff. Data collection for the cross-site evaluation will be conducted over a three-year period that spans FY2007 through FY2009. Because the State/Tribal grantees differ from the campus grantees in programmatic approaches, specific data collection activities also vary by type of program. The following describes the specific data collection activities and the sixteen data collection instruments to be used, followed by a summary table of number of respondents and respondent burden: • *Existing Database Inventory (2 versions).* The Existing Database Inventory includes two versions to be administered to one respondent from

(1)The 36 State/Tribal grantees and

(2)the 55 Campus grantees. The Existing Database Inventory will be completed once in year one and once in year three of the cross-site evaluation by program staff. The questions included assess the availability of existing data, the integration of data systems, and the data elements that may or may not be collected in each system. The Existing Database Inventory will take approximately 30 minutes to complete and the number of existing databases within each grantee site will determine the number of items to complete. Questions on the Existing Database Inventory are open-ended and multiple choice. • *Product and Services Inventory-State/Tribal (2 versions).* The Product and Services Inventory for State/Tribal grantees includes 2 versions. The State/Tribal grantees will complete the State/Tribal Product and Services Inventory-Baseline version once in year one of the cross-site evaluation and the State/Tribal Product and Services Inventory-Follow-up version quarterly thereafter in years two and three. The baseline version assesses the development and utilization of products and services during the first year of grant funding, and the follow-up version updates the development of products and services on a quarterly basis. These products and services may include awareness campaign products and materials; risk identification training materials and workshops; and enhanced services, including early intervention, family support, and postsuicide intervention services, as well as evidence-based programs. Both versions of the State/Tribal Product and Services Inventory will take approximately 45 minutes and the number of products and services developed and utilized within each grantee site will determine the number of items to complete. Questions on both versions of the State/Tribal Product and Services Inventory are open-ended and multiple choice. • *Product and Services Inventory-Campus (2 versions).* The Product and Services Inventory for Campus grantees includes 2 versions. The Campus grantees will complete the Campus Product and Services Inventory-Baseline version once in year one of the cross-site evaluation and will complete the Campus Product and Services Inventory-Follow-up version quarterly thereafter in years two and three. The baseline version assesses the development and utilization of products and services during the first year of grant funding, and the follow-up version updates the development of products and services on a quarterly basis. These products and services may include awareness campaign products and materials; risk identification training materials and workshops; and enhanced services, including early intervention, family support, and postsuicide intervention services, as well as evidence-based programs. Both versions of the Campus Product and Services Inventory will take approximately 45 minutes and the number of products and services developed and utilized within each grantee site will determine the number of items to complete. Questions on both versions of the State/Tribal Product and Services Inventory are open-ended and multiple choice. • *Referral Network Survey (1 version).* The Referral Network Survey will be administered to representatives of organizations and/or agencies involved in the referral networks that support the 36 State/Tribal suicide prevention programs. The 14 State/Tribal grantees funded in October 2005 will receive two administrations of the Referral Network Survey and the 22 State/Tribal grantees funded in June and October 2006 will receive 3 administrations. It is estimated that for each of the 36 State/Tribal referral networks, there are approximately 20 agencies/organizations involved. Therefore, assuming 2 appropriate respondents per agency/organizations and an 80% response rate, we estimated that 3,008 respondents would complete the Referral Network Survey, or 1,003 annually. The questions included on the Referral Network Survey will describe the referral networks, the agencies and organizations involved and at what level and the types of agency agreements and protocols are in place to support youth who are identified at risk for suicide. Questions on the Referral Network Survey include multiple-choice, Likert-scale, and open-ended. The Referral Network Survey includes 37 items and will take approximately 40 minutes to complete. • *Training Exit Survey (1 version).* The Training Exit Survey will be administered to participants in suicide prevention training activities held in the 36 State/Tribal sites following their participation in training activities. It is estimated that approximately 1,000 per State/Tribal site will be trained in suicide prevention. As such, data will be collected from approximately 36,000 training participants, or 12,000 per year, one time immediately following their training experience in each year of the cross-site evaluation. The questions on the Training Exit Survey obtain information to assess the content of the training, the participants' intended use of the skills and knowledge learned, and satisfaction with the training experience. Questions on the Training Exit Survey include multiple-choice, Likert-scale, and open-ended. The Training Exit Survey includes 29 items and will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. • *Training Utilization and Penetration

(TUP)Key Informant Interview (1 version).* The TUP Key Informant Interview is a qualitative follow-up interview administered to individuals who participated in training activities as part of the State/Tribal suicide prevention programs. One training activity will be identified per year in each of the 36 State/Tribal sites and ten key informants who completed the selected training will be randomly selected for participation, for a total of 360 respondents per year. The TUP will be administered within two months of the training experience to assess whether the suicide prevention knowledge, skills and/or techniques learned through training were utilized and had an impact on youth. The interviews will include close-ended background questions, with the remaining questions being open-ended and semi-structured. The TUP includes 23 items and will take approximately 40 minutes to complete. • *Suicide Prevention Exposure, Awareness and Knowledge Survey (SPEAKS)—Student Version (1 version)* . The SPEAKS-Student version assesses the exposure, awareness and knowledge of suicide prevention activities among the student population on campus as result of the suicide prevention program. Questions include whether students have been exposed to suicide prevention materials, their agreement with myths and facts about suicide, and the availability of resources to provide assistance to those at risk for suicide. The 21 Campus grantees funded in FY 2006 will receive two administrations of the SPEAKS-Student Version (one in each remaining year of their grant funding) and the 34 Campus grantees funded in FY 2007 will receive three administrations (one in each year of grant funding). The SPEAKS-Student Version will be administered to 28,800 respondents, or 9,600, per year. A random sample of students will be drawn without replacement in each year of administration. The SPEAKS-Student Version is web-based and includes multiple-choice, Likert-scale and true/false questions. The SPEAKS-Student Version includes 54 items and will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. • *Suicide Prevention Exposure, Awareness and Knowledge Survey (SPEAKS)-Faculty/Staff Version (1 version)* . The SPEAKS-Faculty/Staff version assesses the exposure, awareness and knowledge of suicide prevention activities among faculty/staff on campus as result of the suicide prevention program. Questions include whether faculty/staff have been exposed to suicide prevention materials, their agreement with myths and facts about suicide, and the availability of resources to provide assistance to those at risk for suicide. The 21 Campus grantees funded in FY 2006 will be administered the survey twice (in each of the remaining years of grant funding) and the 34 Campus grantees funded in FY 2007 will receive three administrations (one in each remaining year of grant funding). A sampling plan to obtain 50 faculty/staff respondents in each of the 55 Campus grantee sites for a total of 7,200 total respondents, or 2,400 per year, will be developed by the cross-site evaluation team. A random sample of faculty/staff will be drawn without replacement in each year of administration. The SPEAKS-Faculty/Staff Version is web-based and includes multiple-choice, Likert-scale and true/false questions. The SPEAKS-Faculty/Staff Version includes 52 items and will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. • *Campus Infrastructure Interviews (4 versions)* . The Campus Infrastructure Interviews include 4 versions of the qualitative interviews to be administered to five different respondent types;

(1)Administrator,

(2)Student Group Leader,

(3)Counseling Center Staff,

(4)Faculty/Staff-human services department, and

(5)Faculty/Staff-non-human service department. Five individuals from each of the 55 Campus sites will be selected as key informants to participate in the Campus Infrastructure Interview either in year two or in year three of the cross-site evaluation, for a total of 260 respondents. Questions on the Campus Infrastructure Interview include whether respondents are aware of suicide prevention activities, what the campus culture is related to suicide prevention, and what specific efforts are in place to prevent suicide among the campus population. Questions will include close-ended background questions, with the remaining questions being open-ended and semi-structured. The Campus Infrastructure Interviews include 29 items and will take approximately 60 minutes to complete. • *Tennessee Lives Count Six-Month Follow-up Survey (1 version)* . The six-month follow-up survey is administered as part of the enhanced evaluation. A random sample of training participants involved in the Tennessee Lives Count Suicide Prevention program will be contacted six months post training to complete the survey. Based on the sampling scheme, the six-month follow-up survey will be administered to 466 individuals per year for a total of 1,398 total respondents. The survey requests information on proximal outcomes, such as knowledge, skills, and attitudes of professionals working with at-risk youth as a result of their training experiences. The survey includes multiple-choice, likert scale, and open-ended. There are 59 items and it will take approximately 15 minutes for completion. In addition to the above described data collection activities, data from existing sources ( *i.e.* , management information systems (MIS), administrative records, case files, etc.) will be analyzed across grantee sites to support the impact stage of the cross-site evaluation. Specifically, for the cross-site evaluation of the State/Tribal Programs, existing program information related to the number of youth identified at risk as a result of screening or early identification activities, the youth who are referred for services, and the youth who present for services will be analyzed by the cross-site evaluation team to determine the impact of suicide prevention program activities. For the cross-site evaluation of the Campus programs, existing program data related to the number of students who are at risk for suicide, the number who seek services, and the type of services received will be analyzed to determine the impact of Campus program activities on the student and campus populations. Because this information is obtained through existing sources, data collection instruments were not developed as part of the cross-site evaluation and no identifiable respondents exist; therefore no respondent burden has been estimated. Internet-based technology will be used for collecting data via Web-based surveys, and for data entry and management. The average annual respondent burden is estimated below. The estimate reflects the total respondents across project years, the average annual number of respondents, the average annual number of responses, the time it will take for each response, and the average annual burden.

ACTION: Notice of availability. SUMMARY: The Fish and Wildlife Service announces that a Final Comprehensive Conservation Plan and Finding of No Significant Impact for Grand Cote National Wildlife Refuge are available for distribution. The plan was prepared pursuant to the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997, and in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, and describes how the refuge will be managed for the next 15 years. The compatibility determinations for hunting, fishing, wildlife observation and photography, environmental education and interpretation, all-terrain vehicle use, cooperative farming, and resource research studies, are also available within the plan. ADDRESSES: A copy of the plan may be obtained by writing to the Grand Cote National Wildlife Refuge, 401 Island Road, Marksville, Louisiana 71351. The plan may also be accessed and downloaded from the Service's Website *http://southeast.fws.gov/planning/.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Grande Cote National Wildlife Refuge is located about 5 miles west of the city of Marksville, Louisiana (population 6,087), and 20 miles southeast of Alexandria, Louisiana (population 46,000), south of Highway 1, west of Highway 115, and north and east of Highway 114. The refuge is part of the central Louisiana National wildlife Refuge Complex, which includes Grand Cote, Lake Ophelia, and Cat Island National Wildlife Refuges and several fee and easement Farm Service Agency sites. The refuge covers 6,075 acres but could reach 13,000 acres if all land within the approved acquisition boundary is purchases. The refuge was established in 1989 to provide wintering habitat for mallards, pintails, blue-winged teal, and wood ducks, as well as production habitat for wood ducks to meet the goals of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan. The refuge consists of a complex of bottomland hardwood forests, agricultural lands, moist-soil areas, and direct access roads and trails. annually, more than 2,000 visitors participate in refuge activities. The availability of the Draft Comprehensive Conservation Plan and Environmental Assessment for a 45-day public review and comment period was announced in the **Federal Register** on June 16, 2006 (71 FR 34955). The draft plan and environmental assessment identified and evaluated three alternatives for managing the refuge over the next 15 years. alternative 1 represents o change from current management of the refuge. Under this alternative, 6,075 acres of refuge lands would continue to be protected, maintained, restored, and enhanced for resident wildlife, waterfowl, and threatened and endangered species. Under Alternative 2, the “preferred alternative,” more staff, equipment, and facilities would be added in order to maximize management and restoration of the refuge's wetland and moist-soil habitats and hydrology in support of migratory and resident waterfowl and other wildlife, especially white-tailed deer and woodcock. Alternative 3 would add more staff, equipment, and facilities in order to maximize bottomland hardwood forest restoration in support of migratory birds and other wildlife. Based on the environmental assessment and the comments received, the Servcie adopted Alternative 2 as its preferred alternative. This alternative was considered to be the most effective for meeting the purposes of the refuge by conserving, restoring, and managing the refuge's wetlands and moist-soil habitats and hydrology. Alternative 2 best achieves national, ecosystem, and refuge-specific goals and objectives and positively addresses significant issues and concerns expressed by the public.
