Periodically, the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) will publish a summary of
information collection requests under
the Office of management and Budget’s
(OMB) review, in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

Grant application cycles, SAMHSA will
provide States with revised application
guidance and instructions to implement
changes made in accordance with the
recommendations of OMB’s Program
Assessment Rating Tool (PART)
analysis. In addition, SAMHSA has
incorporated recommendations from the
National Association of State Alcohol
and Drug Abuse Directors (NASADAD)
and their member States in the revisions
and clarification of data reporting
requirements and instructions.
During the negotiations with the
States resulting in agreement on the
National Outcome Measures (NOMs) 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 Drug and Alcohol Services
Information System (DASIS) Treatment
Episode Data Set (TEDS) and National
Survey on Drug Use and Health
(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
Institute of Medicine classification of

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 (page 93) begin the process
of aligning the application with the
performance management criteria
embodied in the OMB PART program.
In the coming 12 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 ...............................................................

In addition, NSDUH estimates of
persons (1)needing, (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
FY 2005 and concluding at the end of
FY 2007. By January 2006, supportive
technical assistance on information
technology design and payment for data
submitted became available by the State
Outcomes Measurement and
Management System (SOMMS)
program. States who have participated
in the SOMMS/NOMs subcontracts may
choose to have their data pre-populated
which would significantly reduce their
reporting burden for this application.
During the next 12 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.
SAMHSA and the States also
recognized that States would require
technical assistance in information
technology and software purchasing to
implement the new NOMs data set and
SAMHSA agreed to realign resources to
contract for this specialized technical
assistance. This technical assistance
first became available in September
2006 and the first project was just
completed.
Thirty-eight States are currently
reporting all or some of the NOM
measures and 46 States have State or
SAMHSA support contracts in place to
develop and operationalize the
necessary data infrastructure to report
all NOMs.
So long as States are progressing
toward achieving this goal by currently
reporting some or all NOM data and are
partnering with SAMHSA to install the
necessary infrastructure to report all
NOMs, because of the delay securing the
necessary information technology
technical assistance or the extent to
which hardware and software had to be
purchased, SAMHSA will continue to
accept data submitted as part of the
uniform application as meeting the
NOMs reporting requirement of the
2008 Presidents Budget.
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 Forms 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 substance 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 was sought to
enable the SAPT Block Grant Program to
address the recommendations of the FY
2003 OMB 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
within the current reporting period; (7)
In Section II, Table I (Maintenance),
‘‘Single State Agency (SSA)
Expenditures for Substance 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
or 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
instructions 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,

Forms T1–T7 and a narrative
requirement is proposed to collection
information on States internal practices
to use performance measure data to

to reduce the burden of reporting and

Sections 1921 through 1935 of the Public Health Service 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 (FY)
2008-2010 Substance Abuse prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Block Grant
