Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
In compliance with Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 concerning
opportunity for public comment on
proposed collections of information, the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA)
will publish periodic summaries of
proposed projects. To request more
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.
Proposed Project: Drug and Alcohol
Services Information System (DASIS)—
(OMB No. 0930–0106)—Revision
The request for OMB approval will be
a supplement to the full DASIS request
approved on November 8, 2005, and
will be submitted in accordance with
the Terms of Clearance in that 2005
OMB Notice of Action. The
supplemental submission will request
extension and revision of DASIS,
including approval to revise and
conduct the National Survey of
Substance Abuse Treatment Services
E:\FR\FM\09JNN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 111 / Friday, June 9, 2006 / Notices
(N–SSATS) following a pretest of the
2007 questionnaire changes. The request
will revise only the N–SSATS-related
portion of the DASIS data collection.
There will be no changes to the other
DASIS components.
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.
The request for OMB approval will
include changes to the N–SSATS survey
and the Mini-N–SSATS. The Mini-N–
SSATS is a procedure for collecting
services data from newly identified
facilities between main cycles of the N–
SSATS survey and will be used to
improve the listing of treatment
facilities in the on-line treatment facility
Locator. The request will include the
following changes to the 2007 N–SSATS
questionnaire, as refined by the pretest
findings: 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 clinical practices; the
addition of a question on quality control
Number of
respondents
Type of respondent and activity
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 vouchers. The request will also
include changes to the Mini-N–SSATS
questionnaire to add a question on
treatment approaches, to modify the
treatment categories to reflect more
current practices and terminology, and
to ask whether the facility accepts ATR
vouchers. The remaining sections of the
N–SSATS questionnaires will remain
unchanged except for minor
modifications to wording. The request
for OMB approval will include a change
in burden hours to include the full three
years of N–SSATS and mini-N–SSATS
data collection, now that the N–SSATS
pretest has been completed. Also, the
burden hours for the pretest are being
dropped.
No significant changes are expected in
the other DASIS activities.
The estimated annual burden for the
DASIS activities is as follows:

Proposed Project: Drug and Alcohol Services Information System
(DASIS)--(OMB No. 0930-0106)--Revision
The request for OMB approval will be a supplement to the full DASIS
request approved on November 8, 2005, and will be submitted in
accordance with the Terms of Clearance in that 2005 OMB Notice of
Action. The supplemental submission will request extension and revision
of DASIS, including approval to revise and conduct the National Survey
of Substance Abuse Treatment Services
[[Page 33476]]
(N-SSATS) following a pretest of the 2007 questionnaire changes. The
request will revise only the N-SSATS-related portion of the DASIS data
collection. There will be no changes to the other DASIS components.
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 client-level 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 substance-related trends in treatment.
The request for OMB approval will include changes to the N-SSATS
survey and the Mini-N-SSATS. The Mini-N-SSATS is a procedure for
collecting services data from newly identified facilities between main
cycles of the N-SSATS survey and will be used to improve the listing of
treatment facilities in the on-line treatment facility Locator. The
request will include the following changes to the 2007 N-SSATS

detoxification question, including the addition of a follow-up question

substances; the addition of questions on treatment approaches and
clinical practices; 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 vouchers. The request will also include
changes to the Mini-N-SSATS questionnaire to add a question on
treatment approaches, to modify the treatment categories to reflect
more current practices and terminology, and to ask whether the facility
accepts ATR vouchers. The remaining sections of the N-SSATS
questionnaires will remain unchanged except for minor modifications to
wording. The request for OMB approval will include a change in burden
hours to include the full three years of N-SSATS and mini-N-SSATS data
