Proposed Project: Opioid Drugs in Maintenance and Detoxification
Treatment of Opioid Dependence--42 CFR part 8 (OMB No. 0930-0206)--
Extension

This regulation establishes a certification program managed by
SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT). The regulation
requires that Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) be certified.
``Certification'' is the process by which SAMHSA determines that an OTP
is qualified to provide opioid treatment under the Federal opioid
treatment standards established by the Secretary of Health and Human
Services. To become certified, an OTP must be

[[Page 19739]]

accredited by a SAMHSA-approved accreditation body. The regulation also
provides standards for such services as individualized treatment
planning, increased medical supervision, and assessment of patient
outcomes. This submission seeks continued approval of the information
collection requirements in the regulation and of the forms used in
implementing the regulation.
SAMHSA currently has approval for the Application for Certification
to Use Opioid Drugs in a Treatment Program Under 42 CFR 8.11 (Form SMA-
162); the Application for Approval as Accreditation Body Under 42 CFR
8.3(b) (Form SMA-163); and the Exception Request and Record of
Justification Under 42 CFR 8.12 (Form SMA-168), which may be used on a
voluntary basis by physicians when there is a patient care situation in
which the physician must make a treatment decision that differs from
the treatment regimen required by the regulation. Form SMA-162 is used
as the initial application to request certification of an OTP, to
request renewal of certification and to change existing information
regarding the program's location, sponsor and medical director. This
form collects information such as address, program name, contact
information, sponsor name and address and medical director name and
address. Attachments are required to complete this form regarding the
OTPs accrediting status, organizational structure, and operating
procedures. Form SMA-163 is used as an application to become a SAMHSA
approved accrediting body. This form collects accrediting body name,
address and contact information. Attachments are required to complete
this form regarding the accrediting body's operating procedures and
standards and their staff's education and experience. Form SMA-168 is a
simplified, standardized form to facilitate the documentation, request,
and approval process for exceptions. This form collects patient
admission date, dosage amount, patient status, attendance schedule per
week, dates of exception and justification.
The tables that follow summarize the annual reporting burden
associated with the regulation, including burden associated with the
forms.
