Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) will publish a summary 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

Clearance Officer on (240) 276–1243.
Drug and Alcohol Services Information
System (DASIS) (OMB No. 0930–
0106)—Revision
The DASIS consists of three related
data systems: The Inventory of
Substance Abuse Treatment Services (I–
SATS); the National Survey of
Substance Abuse Treatment Services
(N–SSATS), and the Treatment Episode
Data Set (TEDS). The I–SATS includes
all substance abuse treatment facilities
known to SAMHSA. The N–SSATS is
an annual survey of all substance abuse
treatment facilities listed in the I–SATS.
The TEDS is a compilation of clientlevel admission data and discharge data
submitted by States on clients treated in
facilities that receive State funds.
Together, the three DASIS components
provide information on the location,
scope and characteristics of all known
drug and alcohol treatment facilities in
the United States, the number of
persons in treatment, and the
characteristics of clients receiving
services at publicly-funded facilities.
This information is needed to assess the
nature and extent of these resources, to
identify gaps in services, to provide a
database for treatment referrals, and to
assess demographic and substancerelated trends in treatment. In addition,
SAMHSA and the State substance abuse
officials participating in SAMHSA’s
December 2004 meeting on National
Outcome Measures (NOMS) agreed that
several NOMS data elements to assess
the performance of the Substance Abuse

Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Block
Grant will be collected in TEDS.
The request for OMB approval
includes a request to conduct the 2006
N–SSATS survey and the 2006 Mini-N–
SSATS. The Mini-N–SSATS is a
procedure for collecting services data
from newly identified facilities between
main cycles of the survey and will be
used to improve the listing of treatment
facilities in the on-line treatment facility
Locator. The 2006 N–SSATS
questionnaire will include several new
items, including the addition of nicotine
replacement therapy and psychiatric
medications to the pharmacotherapies
list and the addition of new services to
the list of services provided. The request
also includes a request to conduct a
pretest of the 2007 N–SSATS
questionnaire in 2006. The 2007 pretest
questionnaire will include several
changes, including the modification of
the treatment categories to better reflect
the practices and terminology currently
used in the treatment field; modification
of the detoxification question, including
the addition of a follow-up question on
whether the facility uses drugs in
detoxification and for which substances;
the addition of questions on treatment
approaches and behavioral
interventions; the addition of a question
on quality control procedures used by
the facility; and, the addition of a
question on whether the facility accepts
ATR vouchers and how many annual
admissions were funded by ATR

2007 N–SSATS, a separate request for
OMB approval will be submitted for the
2007 and 2008 N–SSATS, including the
Mini-N–SSATS for those years.
The request for OMB approval will
also include the addition of several new
NOMS data elements to the TEDS
client-level record. To the extent that
states already collect the elements from
their treatment providers, the following
elements will be included in the TEDS
data collection: Number of arrests at
admission and at discharge; substances
used/frequency of use at discharge;
employment at discharge; and living
arrangement at discharge.

SUMMARY: The Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) is committed to preventing
the onset and reducing the progression
of mental illness, substance abuse and
substance related problems among all
individuals, including youth. As part of
this effort, SAMHSA is expanding and
refining the agency’s National Registry
of Evidence-based Programs and
Practices (NREPP) so that the system
serves as a leading national resource for
contemporary and reliable information
on the scientific basis and practicality of
interventions to prevent and/or treat

mental illness and substance use and
abuse.
NREPP represents a major agency
activity within SAMHSA’s Science to
Service initiative. The initiative seeks to
accelerate the translation of research
into practice by promoting the
implementation of effective, evidencebased interventions for preventing and/
or treating mental disorders and
substance use and abuse. Of equal
measure, the initiative emphasizes the
essential role of the services community
in providing input and feedback to
influence and better frame the research
questions and activities pursued by
researchers in these areas.
Through SAMHSA’s Science to
Service initiative, the agency ultimately
seeks to develop a range of tools that
will facilitate evidence-based decisionmaking in substance abuse prevention,
mental health promotion, and the
treatment of mental and substance use
disorders. In addition to NREPP,
SAMHSA is developing an
informational guide of web-based
