In compliance with Section

Substance Abuse and Mental Health

information on the proposed projects or
to obtain a copy of the information
collection plans, call the SAMHSA
Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276–
1243.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collections of information
are necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration’s
(SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse
Treatment (CSAT), has identified a
critical need for Opioid Treatment
Programs (OTPs, also commonly known
as Methadone Clinics) to be able to
access limited but specific patient
dosage data for patients displaced due
to service disruptions affecting the OTP
from which they regularly receive
treatment (the patient’s ’Home OTP’).
Service disruptions in home OTPs have
ranged in cause from events such as the
PO 00000
Frm 00038
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
September 11th terrorist attacks or more
recently, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, to
more common events such as snow
storms or electrical black-outs.
The proposed system will ensure that,
in such circumstances, patients
displaced from their home OTPs will
still be able to obtain safe and effective
treatment at an alternative OTP (referred
to in this project as a ’Guest OTP’). In
reviewing past events involving OTP
service disruptions and their impact on
patients, SAMHSA, in tandem with
numerous stakeholders, established four
basic principles that would guide
creation of a deliberately simple,
centralized Web-based system to house
patient data. Such a system would
facilitate guest OTPs in providing safe
and effective continuity of treatment for
patients temporarily unable to obtain
treatment from their Home OTPs due to
any form of service disruption. The
proposed centralized data system is
known as the Opioid Treatment Data
Systems for Disaster. Subsequently, in a
small sample study of five (5) OTPs,
SAMHSA tested a protocol and data
collection instrument for use in
determining functional requirements for
the proposed system. In Fall 2005,
SAMHSA provided funding for the
current project, to support creation of
the necessary infrastructure for a pilot
system, to be followed by testing on a
regional basis. This pilot project will
focus on creating the means by which
vital dosage data for OTP patients can
be made accessible to guest OTPs called
E:\FR\FM\01MYN1.SGM
01MYN1
25598
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 83 / Monday, May 1, 2006 / Notices
upon to treat patients of other programs
in the event of service disruptions, most
specifically, in disaster scenarios, so
that patients are not forced during such
circumstances to forgo or discontinue
treatment. Ultimately, the pilot system
will be reviewed to determine its
effectiveness and ability to support a
national implementation, should
funding for such a system become
available.
This notice is being provided for a
survey to be distributed to OTPs in the
region(s) selected by SAMHSA to gather
information regarding their present data
collection and reporting capabilities and
practices. Technical information from
the surveys will be used exclusively for
development of the overall system and
to help inform selection of sites best
suited for participation as pilot sites for
testing of the Opioid Treatment Data
Systems for Disaster Planning. OTP
respondents will have the option of
completing an on-line or paper version
of the survey. The survey consists of
approximately 25 questions
predominantly formatted as yes/no
responses with one to two words fill in
the blank responses. The estimated
maximum annual response burden to
collect this information is as follows:
