all applicants. In addition, eliminating
the error correction window will help
NIH reduce the time needed to process
applications and forward them through
the peer review process.
The error correction window was
established at a time when an
application could take multiple days to
get processed by Grants.gov and NIH’s
eRA systems. The lengthy processing
time meant that applicants who applied
on time might not receive feedback on
the status of their submissions in time
to address system identified errors/
warnings until after the due date, unless
they applied well in advance.
During the initial transition the error
correction window also provided an
opportunity for applicants to become
familiar with the use of the new SF424
(R&R) applications and the new way
that long standing business rules would
be enforced by electronic systems upon
submission.
Since 2005, combined system
processing times have improved
dramatically, with applications now
taking minutes to process through both
systems on average instead of days. This
improvement provides applicants
timely feedback on the status of their
applications and allows them to address
any system identified errors and
warnings immediately, as the systems
can process multiple submissions
within a short period of time. NIH also
has policies in place that do not rely on
the error correction window to ensure
that applicants are protected from
possible eRA Commons or Grants.gov
system issues that might keep an
application from being received by the
submission deadline.
Additionally, elimination of the error
correction window will not affect an
applicant’s ability to submit late
applications under the existing NIH
Policy on Late Submission of Grant
Applications (NOT–OD–06–086
available at https://grants.nih.gov/grants/
guide/notice-files/NOT–OD–06–
086.html) or for those who have
provided substantial review service to
NIH to take advantage of NIH’s
continuous submission policy (https://
grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/
NOT–OD–08–026.html).
NIH is accepting comments from
individuals and organizations on the
impact of this change. We are also
interested in feedback on possible
timing of the change. Is there support
for making the change in the next 3–6
months, a year, or is more time needed
to make the change should the agencies
decide to move forward?

are requesting OMB clearance for the
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Partner
Survey and the Chronic Kidney Disease
(CKD) Provider Survey. The Prevention
CKD Theme is a component of the
Prevention Theme of the Quality
Improvement Organization (QIO)
Program’s 9th Scope of Work (SOW).
The statutory authority for this scope of
work is found in Part B of Title XI of
the Social Security Act (the Act) as
amended by the Peer Review
Improvement Act of 1982. The Act
established the Utilization and Quality
Control Peer Review Organization
Program, now known as the Quality
Improvement Organization (QIO)
Program.
The goal of the Prevention CKD
Theme is to detect the incidence,
decrease the progression of CKD, and
improve care among Medicare
beneficiaries through provider adoption
of timely and effective quality of care
interventions; participation in quality
incentive initiatives; beneficiary
education; and key linkages and
collaborations for system change at the
state and local level. In addition to
improving the quality of care for the
elderly and frail-elderly, this Theme
aims to reduce the rate of Medicare
entitlement by disability through the
delay and prevention of end-stage renal
disease (ESRD); thus resulting in higher
quality care and significant savings to
the Medicare Trust Fund.
The CKD Partner Survey constitutes a
new information collection to be used
by CMS to obtain information on how
QIO collaboration with partners
facilitates systems change within the
QIO’s respective state. The CKD Partner
Survey will be a census administered to
350 collaborative partners in the 9th
SOW. The CKD Partner Survey will be
administered via telephone. Responses
will be entered into a pre-programmed
Computer-Assisted Telephone
Interviewing (CATI) interface. The
results of the survey shall be used for
inpatient quality indicators (IQI) by the
QIO. CMS will also use the results to
assess how partner organizations and
their perspective of the QIO’s role are
implementing system change.
Similarly, the CKD Provider Survey
constitutes a new information collection
to be used by CMS to obtain information
on how QIO collaboration with
physician practices facilitates systems
change within the QIO’s respective
state. The CKD Provider Survey will be
administered via telephone and the

Proposed Project: Substance Abuse
Prevention and Treatment Block Grant
Synar Report Format, FFY 2011–2013—
(OMB No. 0930–0222)—Revision
Section 1926 of the Public Health
Service Act [42 U.S.C. 300x–26]
stipulates that funding Substance Abuse
Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Block
Grant agreements for alcohol and drug
abuse programs for fiscal year 1994 and
subsequent fiscal years require States to
have in effect a law providing that it is
unlawful for any manufacturer, retailer,
or distributor of tobacco products to sell
or distribute any such product to any
individual under the age of 18. This
section further requires that States
conduct annual, random, unannounced
inspections to ensure compliance with
the law; that the State submit annually
a report describing the results of the
inspections, describing the activities
carried out by the State to enforce the
required law, describing the success the
State has achieved in reducing the
availability of tobacco products to
individuals under the age of 18, and
describing the strategies to be utilized
by the State for enforcing such law
during the fiscal year for which the
grant is sought.
Before making an award to a State
under the SAPT Block Grant, the
Secretary must make a determination
that the State has maintained
compliance with these requirements. If
a determination is made that the State
is not in compliance, penalties shall be

applied. Penalties ranged from 10
percent of the Block Grant in applicable
year 1 (FFY 1997 SAPT Block Grant
Applications) to 40 percent in
applicable year 4 (FFY 2000 SAPT
Block Grant Applications) and
subsequent years. Respondents include
the 50 States, the District of Columbia,
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the
U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American
Samoa, the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands, Palau,
Micronesia, and the Marshall Islands.
Regulations that implement this
legislation are at 45 CFR 96.130, are
approved by OMB under control
number 0930–0163, and require that
each State submit an annual Synar
report to the Secretary describing their
progress in complying with section 1926
of the PHS Act. The Synar report, due
December 31 following the fiscal year
for which the State is reporting,
describes the results of the inspections
and the activities carried out by the
State to enforce the required law; the
success the State has achieved in
reducing the availability of tobacco
products to individuals under the age of
18; and the strategies to be utilized by
the State for enforcing such law during
the fiscal year for which the grant is
sought.
SAMHSA’s Center for Substance
Abuse Prevention will request OMB
approval of revisions to the current
report format associated with Section
1926 (42 U.S.C. 300x–26). The report
format is minimally changing. Any
changes in either formatting or content
are being made to simplify the reporting
process for the States and to clarify the
information as the States report it; both
outcomes will facilitate consistent,
credible, and efficient monitoring of
Synar compliance across the States and
will reduce the reporting burden by the
States. All of the information required
in the new report format is already
being collected by the States. Most of
the specific revisions appear in Section
I (Compliance Progress) of the report
format and include clarifications to
Questions 4a, 5b, 5e and 5f.
Additionally, three new questions (5c,
5d and 5g) have been added and two
items have been added to Question 7b.
Information on these additions appears
below:
Question 5c: Level of Enforcement—
This question, which asks the State to
select whether enforcement is
conducted only at those outlets
randomly selected for the Synar survey,
only at a subset of outlets not randomly
selected for the Synar survey, or a
combination of the two, has been newly
added to the ASR format. It has been
added to provide additional information
PO 00000
Frm 00059
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
about State enforcement programs,
which is frequently requested by partner
agencies and can also be used to target
technical assistance.
Question 5d: Frequency of
Enforcement—This question, which
asks the State to select whether every
tobacco outlet in the State did or did not
receive at least one enforcement
compliance check in the last year, has
been newly added to the ASR format. It
has been added to provide additional
information about State enforcement
programs, which is frequently requested
by partner agencies and can also be used
to target technical assistance.
Question 5g. Relationship of State
Synar Program to FDA-Funded
Enforcement Program—This question,
which asks the State to describe the
relationship between the State’s Synar
program and the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA)-funded
enforcement program, has been added to
the ASR format. The Family Smoking
Prevention and Tobacco Control Act,
recently signed into law by President
Obama, requires the FDA to reissue the
1996 regulation aimed at reducing
young people’s access to tobacco
products and curbing the appeal of
tobacco to the young. This regulation
must be reissued by April 2010. As part
of the implementation of this regulation,
FDA will be contracting with States to
enforce new Federal youth access
provisions. This question asks the State
to describe the relationship and
coordination between its Synar program
and the enforcement program funded by
FDA.
Question 7b. Synar Survey Results for
States that Do Not Use the Synar Survey
Estimation System (SSES)—Two items
have been added to this question
(accuracy rate and completion rate).
These items were added to ensure that
the same statistical parameters are asked
of both States that do and do not use the
SSES to analyze their Synar survey
results.
Additionally, in Appendix B (Synar
Survey Sampling Methodology), the
following changes are being made with
respect to the Annual Synar Report:
Question 10. Provide the following
information about sample size
calculation for the current FFY Synar
survey. This question has been added to
Appendix B and asks the State to
provide information about the specific
input values used to calculate the
effective, target and original sample
sizes for the current FFY Synar survey.
This question will reduce the need for
SAMHSA/CSAP to request additional
clarifying information from the State
when SAMHSA/CSAP is unable to
