confidential. Information requirements
are (1) written disclosure to patients
about Federal laws and regulations that

regulations (42 CFR Part 2) require
protect the confidentiality of each
patient, and (2) documenting ‘‘medical

Proposed Project: Opioid Treatment
Data Systems for Disaster Planning
Project (Pilot)—NEW
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(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
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
PO 00000
Frm 00052
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
collection instrument for use in
determining functional requirements for
the proposed system. In the 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
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:
