Project: Community Mental Health
Services Block Grant Application
Guidance and Instructions, FY 2009–
2011 (OMB No. 0930–0168)—Revision
Sections 1911 through 1920 of the
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
300x through 300x–9) provide for
annual allotments to assist States to
establish or expand an organized,
community-based system of care for
adults with serious mental illnesses and
children with serious emotional
disturbances. 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.
