Under these provisions of the law, States may receive allotments only after an application is submitted and approved by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. On January 28, 2008, SAMHSA published a request for public comment PO 00000 Frm 00073 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 on its proposed guidance and instructions to the States to guide development of comprehensive State applications/plans and implementation reports for FY 2009–2011. Proposed revisions to the guidance included: (1) Streamlining the process for reporting States’ use of the block grant to support mental health transformation, including narrowing from 20 to 6 the number of transformation categories for which States are asked to provide the amount of funding that will be used to support specific transformation activities and limiting reporting to block grant funds only. (2) Reorganizing and consolidating sections of the guidance to improve readability and clarity and to reduce redundancy. (3) Eliminating Table 18 from the Uniform Reporting System (URS) tables that States must submit. (4) Eliminating the requirement that States complete a State-Level Reporting Capacity Checklist for submission to the State Data infrastructure Coordinating Center. SAMHSA received formal comments from seven commenters. Most of the comments supported the changes described below, and several commended SAMHSA for appointing a Federal-State working group to address concerns raised by the States regarding the FY 2008 guidance and instructions. A summary of the comments and SAMHSA’s response is provided below. Request for clarification regarding reporting transformation expenditures under Table C. Two commenters noted that, while they supported the proposed revisions to streamline the reporting of transformation expenditures, their State fiscal processes did not support tracking and reporting expenditures in this manner. One commenter requested clarification that a State would ‘‘not be held’’ to expenditure estimates provided in the application. The transformation expenditures requested under Table C are an essential component of the application guidance, as they provide important information to SAMHSA regarding States’ use of the block grant to support mental health transformation. SAMHSA clarifies that the transformation expenditures requested to be reported under Table C of the application may be reported as estimates if the State cannot provide actual expenditures and that States are not obligated to expend funds in the categories indicated or to track and justify their expenditures consistent with these estimates. No change to the guidance is needed to provide this clarification. E:\FR\FM\05MYN1.SGM 05MYN1
