Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
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 Office 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: Substance Abuse
Prevention and Treatment (SAPT)
Block Grant Uniform Application
Guidance and Instructions FY 2008–
2010 and Regulations (OMB No. 0930–
0080)—Revision
This Federal Register Notice is
revised to reflect that information
collection approval requirements for the
Substance Abuse Prevention and
Treatment Block Grant regulation and
Uniform Application Guidance were
consolidated in August 2004 by a Notice
of office of Management and Budget
Action memo and terms of clearance. In
accordance with that Notice of Action
and through this amendment to the
January 25, 2007 FRN, the Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration communicates its intent
to maintain these as a single item for
OMB clearance purposes. Accordingly,
a consolidated respondent burden table
is included adding the respondent
burden for recordkeeping historically
associated specifically with the
regulation.
Sections 1921 through 1935 of the
Public Health Services Act (U.S.C.
300x–21 to 300x–35) provide for annual
allotments to assist States to plan, carry
out and evaluate activities to prevent
and treat substance abuse and for
related activities. Under the provisions
of the law, States may receive
allotments only after an application is
submitted and approved by the
Secretary, DHHS. For the Federal fiscal
year 2008–2010 SAPT block Grant
application cycles, the Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) will provide
States with revised application guidance
and instructions to implement changes
made in accordance with the
recommendations of the Office of
Management and Budget’s Program
Assessment Rating Tool (PART)
analysis. In addition, SAMHSA has
incorporated recommendations from the
National Association of State Alcohol
and Drug Abuse Directors and their
member States in the revisions and
clarification of data reporting
requirements and instructions.
During negotiations with the States
resulting in agreement on the National
Outcome Measures for substance abuse
treatment and prevention, SAMHSA
pledged to the States to:
1. Reduce respondent burden;
2. Work with the States to improve
performance management of the SAPT
Block Grant;
3. Improve the availability, timeliness,
and quality of data available to Federal,
State, and provider administrators of
block grant funded programs.
This revision of the Uniform
Application and Regulation for the
SAPT Block Grant takes initial steps
toward implementing these
commitments. Individual States may
reduce their respondent burden by
selecting the option of using SAMHSA
pre-populated tables for Section IVa and
b. The data for these tables would be
drawn from SAMHSA data sets known
as DASIS and NSDUH by SAMHSA and
provided to the States. SAMHSA is
providing the States with the option of
reporting on prevention expenditures
utilizing the six prevention strategies or
utilizing the IOM classification of
Universal, Selective or Indicated and is
seeking comment regarding the most
useful manner to convey and collect the
primary prevention expenditure data.
SAMHSA has designed the State
Prevention Framework State Incentive
Grant (SPF SIG) competitive program
and funded contracts in States without
a SPF SIG to support data driven
prevention planning by Substance
Abuse State Agencies. This application
has been modified to encourage the
States to use the State level data
collected with support from these
programs in the planning in section III
of this SAPT Block grant application.
The addition of on-going provider
performance monitoring (page 90–7)
and the narratives describing State
Performance Management and
Leadership (p. 93) begin the process of
aligning the application with the
performance management criteria
embodied in the OMB PART program.
In the coming twelve months,
SAMHSA will continue to work with
the States to assess the feasibility and
usefulness of pre-populating the
following sections of the application
with data extracted from SAMHSA data
sets to further reduce respondent
burden:
Form 6—Entity Inventory ....................................................................................................................................
Form 7a & b—Treatment Utilization Matrix .......................................................................................................
Form 8—Treatment Needs Assessment ...............................................................................................................

In addition, NSDUH estimates of
persons (1) needed, (2) needing and
seeking, and (3) needing, seeking and
not receiving treatment will be
examined for application to the
planning requirements of PART
requirements.
SAMHSA will also code all
application content against PART
requirements to insure that all
requirements are appropriately
addressed by applicants and Federal
staff.
In December 2004, SAMHSA and the
States agreed on the goal of having all
States reporting the NOMs measures as
defined at the meeting by the end of a
3-year implementation period starting in
FFY 2005 and concluding at the end of
FFY 2007. By January 2006, supportive
technical assistance on information
technology design and payment for data
submitted became available by the
SAMHSA State Outcomes Monitoring
and Management System Programs.
States who have participated in the
State Outcomes Monitoring and
Management System NOMs subcontract
may choose to have their data prepopulated which would significantly
reduce their reporting burden for this
application. During the next twelve
months SAMHSA in partnership with
the States and all other SAPT Block
Grant stakeholders, will develop
standards for analyzing and responding
to the results of NOMs data appropriate
to each level of block grant fund
administration including Federal, State,
and Provider roles and responsibilities.
Revisions to the previously-approved
application resulting from such
stakeholder input reflect the following
changes: (1) In Section I, Form 2, ‘‘Table
of Contents,’’ was revised to
appropriately enumerate the specific
items within each section; (2) In Section
II, the Narrative description of certain
maintenance of effort and expenditure
base calculations was simplified to
require submission of such information
only if it represented a revision from
previous years’ submissions. This
section was also moved to its more
appropriate place in the application
immediately preceding reporting on
maintenance of efforts; (3) In Section II,
Form 4, ‘‘Substance Abuse State Agency
Spending Report,’’ was amended to use
consistent language for services
expenditure reporting and planning
across Form 4, 6, and 11. On Form 4 and
Form 11, Row 1, the activity to be
reported on is entitled: SAPT Block
Grant funds for Substance Abuse
Prevention (other than primary
prevention) and Treatment Services to
be consistent with the terminology used
in Form 6, Column 5; (4) In Section II,
Form 6, Entity Inventory, instructions
were clarified to communicate that
information on all substances abuse
prevention and treatment service
providers funded through the SSA was
sought; (5) In section II, Form 7A,
‘‘Treatment Utilization Matrix’’
instructions were clarified to
communicate that information on
persons admitted and served within the
specific reporting period wa sought to
enable the SAPTBG Program to address
the recommendations of the FY 2003
OMB Program Assessment Rating Tool
(PART) analysis; (6) In Section II, Form
7B, ‘‘Number Of Persons Served
(Unduplicated Count) For Alcohol And
Other Drug Use In State Funded
Services,’’ instructions were clarified in
a similar manner as Form 7a and a
separate data cell was added to
accommodate States’ desires to report
on clients admitted in a prior reporting
period but also continuing to be served
with the current reporting period; (7) In
Section II, Table I (Maintenance),
‘‘Single State Agency (SSA)
Expenditures for Substances Abuse’’
was amended to reflect the appropriate
State fiscal year and the corresponding
instructions were amended; (8) In
Section II, Table II (Maintenance),
‘‘Statewide Non-Federal Expenditures
for Tuberculosis Services to Substance
Abusers in Treatment,’’ was amended to
reflect the appropriate State fiscal year
and the corresponding instructions were
amended; (9) In Section II, Table III
(Maintenance), ‘‘Statewide Non-Federal
Expenditures for HIV Early Intervention
Services to Substance Abusers in
Treatment,’’ was amended to allow
States to enter the appropriate State
fiscal year and the corresponding
instruction were amended; (10) In
Section II, Table IV (Maintenance),
‘‘SSA Expenditures for Women’s
Services,’’ was amended to reflect the
appropriate fiscal year and the
corresponding instructions were
amended; (11) In Section III, Form 11,
‘‘Intended Use Plan,’’ was amended to
use consistent language for services
expenditure reporting and planning;
(12) In Section IV, subparts IV–A and
IV–B, ‘‘Voluntary Treatment
Performance Measures’’ and ‘‘Voluntary
Prevention Performance Measures’’ all
references to the term Voluntary are
deleted as reporting on these measures
will no longer be voluntary; (13) In
Section IV–A, ‘‘Treatment Performance
Measures,’’ the general instructions
were amended to implement mandatory
reporting on performance measures
forms T1–T7 and a narrative
requirement is proposed to collect
information on States internal practices
to use performance measure data to
manage their systems; (14) In Section
IV–A, ‘‘Treatment Performance
Measures’’ Forms T1–T7 data
specifications replaced State detail sheet
narrative requirements for forms T1–T7
to reduce the burden of reporting and
improve the uniformity of data quality
information being collected; (15) The
Section IV–A, ‘‘Treatment Performance
Measures,’’ T6 on infectious disease
control efforts was deleted because it
was determined to be duplicative of
information requirements in Section II
of the application; (16) In Section IV,
subpart IV–B, ‘‘Prevention Performance
Measures,’’ Forms P5 and P6 were
removed, P1–P15 were substituted for
the previous Form P1–P4 and the
instructions were amended to address
pre-population of prevention
performance data.

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 Office 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,

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: Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Block
Grant Uniform Application Guidance and Instructions FY 2008-2010 and
Regulations (OMB No. 0930-0080)--Revision
This Federal Register Notice is revised to reflect that information
collection approval requirements for the Substance Abuse Prevention and
Treatment Block Grant regulation and Uniform Application Guidance were
consolidated in August 2004 by a Notice of office of Management and
Budget Action memo and terms of clearance. In accordance with that
Notice of Action and through this amendment to the January 25, 2007
FRN, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
communicates its intent to maintain these as a single item for OMB
clearance purposes. Accordingly, a consolidated respondent burden table
is included adding the respondent burden for recordkeeping historically
associated specifically with the regulation.
Sections 1921 through 1935 of the Public Health Services Act
(U.S.C. 300x-21 to 300x-35) provide for annual allotments to assist
States to plan, carry out and evaluate activities to prevent and treat
substance abuse and for related activities. Under the provisions of the
law, States may receive allotments only after an application is
submitted and approved by the Secretary, DHHS. For the Federal fiscal
year 2008-2010 SAPT block Grant application cycles, the Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) will provide States
with revised application guidance and instructions to implement changes
made in accordance with the recommendations of the Office of Management
and Budget's Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) analysis. In
addition, SAMHSA has incorporated recommendations from the National
Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors and their member
States in the revisions and clarification of data reporting
requirements and instructions.
During negotiations with the States resulting in agreement on the
National Outcome Measures for substance abuse treatment and prevention,
SAMHSA pledged to the States to:
1. Reduce respondent burden;
2. Work with the States to improve performance management of the
SAPT Block Grant;
3. Improve the availability, timeliness, and quality of data
available to Federal, State, and provider administrators of block grant
funded programs.
This revision of the Uniform Application and Regulation for the
SAPT Block Grant takes initial steps toward implementing these
commitments. Individual States may reduce their respondent burden by
selecting the option of using SAMHSA pre-populated tables for Section
IVa and b. The data for these tables would be drawn from SAMHSA data
sets known as DASIS and NSDUH by SAMHSA and provided to the States.
SAMHSA is providing the States with the option of reporting on
prevention expenditures utilizing the six prevention strategies or
utilizing the IOM classification of Universal, Selective or Indicated
and is seeking comment regarding the most useful manner to convey and
collect the primary prevention expenditure data. SAMHSA has designed
the State Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG)
competitive program and funded contracts in States without a SPF SIG to
support data driven prevention planning by Substance Abuse State
Agencies. This application has been modified to encourage the States to
use the State level data collected with support from these programs in
the planning in section III of this SAPT Block grant application. The
addition of on-going provider performance monitoring (page 90-7) and
the narratives describing State Performance Management and Leadership
(p. 93) begin the process of aligning the application with the
performance management criteria embodied in the OMB PART program.
In the coming twelve months, SAMHSA will continue to work with the
States to assess the feasibility and usefulness of pre-populating the
following sections of the application with data extracted from SAMHSA
data sets to further reduce respondent burden:
Form 6--Entity Inventory..... NSSATS data set.
Form 7a & b--Treatment DASIS/TEDS/SOMMS.
Utilization Matrix.
Form 8--Treatment Needs NSDUH, State, and sub-State.
Assessment.
Forms T1-T7--Treatment DASIS/SOMMS.
Performance Measures.
Form P1-P15--Prevention NSDUH.
Performance Measures.
[[Page 13809]]
In addition, NSDUH estimates of persons (1) needed, (2) needing and
seeking, and (3) needing, seeking and not receiving treatment will be
examined for application to the planning requirements of PART
requirements.
SAMHSA will also code all application content against PART
requirements to insure that all requirements are appropriately
addressed by applicants and Federal staff.
In December 2004, SAMHSA and the States agreed on the goal of
having all States reporting the NOMs measures as defined at the meeting
by the end of a 3-year implementation period starting in FFY 2005 and
concluding at the end of FFY 2007. By January 2006, supportive
technical assistance on information technology design and payment for
data submitted became available by the SAMHSA State Outcomes Monitoring
and Management System Programs. States who have participated in the
State Outcomes Monitoring and Management System NOMs subcontract may
choose to have their data pre-populated which would significantly
reduce their reporting burden for this application. During the next
twelve months SAMHSA in partnership with the States and all other SAPT
Block Grant stakeholders, will develop standards for analyzing and
responding to the results of NOMs data appropriate to each level of
block grant fund administration including Federal, State, and Provider
roles and responsibilities.
Revisions to the previously-approved application resulting from
such stakeholder input reflect the following changes: (1) In Section I,
Form 2, ``Table of Contents,'' was revised to appropriately enumerate
the specific items within each section; (2) In Section II, the
Narrative description of certain maintenance of effort and expenditure
base calculations was simplified to require submission of such
information only if it represented a revision from previous years'
submissions. This section was also moved to its more appropriate place
in the application immediately preceding reporting on maintenance of
efforts; (3) In Section II, Form 4, ``Substance Abuse State Agency
Spending Report,'' was amended to use consistent language for services
expenditure reporting and planning across Form 4, 6, and 11. On Form 4
and Form 11, Row 1, the activity to be reported on is entitled: SAPT
Block Grant funds for Substance Abuse Prevention (other than primary
prevention) and Treatment Services to be consistent with the
terminology used in Form 6, Column 5; (4) In Section II, Form 6, Entity
Inventory, instructions were clarified to communicate that information
on all substances abuse prevention and treatment service providers
funded through the SSA was sought; (5) In section II, Form 7A,
``Treatment Utilization Matrix'' instructions were clarified to
communicate that information on persons admitted and served within the
specific reporting period wa sought to enable the SAPTBG Program to
address the recommendations of the FY 2003 OMB Program Assessment
