Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 161 / Monday, August 20, 2012 / Notices
Reduction Act of 1995 concerning
opportunity for public comment on
proposed collections of information, the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA)
will publish periodic summaries of
proposed projects. To request more
information on the proposed projects or
to obtain a copy of the information
collection plans, call the SAMHSA
Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276–
1243.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collections of information
are necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Proposed Project: National Survey of
Substance Abuse Treatment Services
(N–SSATS) (OMB No. 0930–0106)—
Revision
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) is requesting a revision of
the Drug and Alcohol Services
Information System (DASIS) data
collection (OMB No. 0930–0106), which
expires on December 31, 2012. The
request includes a name change for this
OMB No. from ‘‘DASIS’’ to the
‘‘National Survey of Substance Abuse
Treatment Services (N–SSATS),’’ since
N–SSATS is the main survey
component from the prior collection
included in this request. N–SSATS
provides both national and state-level
data on the numbers and types of
patients treated and the characteristics
of facilities providing substance abuse
treatment services. It is conducted
under the authority of Section 505 of the
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.

290aa–4) to meet the specific mandates
for annual information about public and
private substance abuse treatment
providers and the clients they serve.
This request includes:
• Collection of N–SSATS, which is an
annual survey of substance abuse
treatment facilities; and
• Updating of the associated
substance abuse facility universe, now
named the Inventory of Behavioral
Health Services (I–BHS) (previously the
Inventory of Substance Abuse
Treatment Services (I–SATS)). The I–
BHS includes all substance abuse
treatment facilities known to SAMHSA.
In addition, the inventory is being
expanded to include mental health
treatment facilities, making it a
‘‘behavioral health’’ inventory.
The information in I–BHS and N–
SSATS is needed to assess the nature
and extent of these resources, to identify
gaps in services, and to provide a
database for treatment referrals. Both I–
BHS and N–SSATS are components of
the Behavioral Health Services
Information System (BHSIS) (previously
DASIS), a system name change
reflecting SAMHSA’s emphasis on a
more integrated behavioral health
treatment system.
The request for OMB approval will
include a request to update the I–BHS
facility listing on a continuous basis and
to conduct the N–SSATS and the
between cycle N–SSATS (N–SSATS BC)
in 2013, 2014, and 2015. The N–SSATS
BC is a procedure for collecting services
data from newly identified facilities
between main cycles of the survey and
will be used to improve the listing of
treatment facilities in the online
Substance Abuse Treatment Locator.
Planned Changes
I–BHS: As described above, the I–BHS
database has been expanded to include
mental health treatment facilities. The
I–BHS Online forms, the I–BHS facility
application form, and the augmentation
screener questionnaire include a new
question to determine if the facility
provides mental health treatment
services.
Responses

Hours per

N–SSATS: The full N–SSATS will be
conducted in alternate years, rather than
every year as in the past, with an
abbreviated N–SSATS questionnaire to
update the Treatment Locator
conducted in the interim years.
Approval is requested for the following
changes from 2012 to 2013 in the N–
SSATS questionnaire:
A new question has been added to
determine if the facility provides mental
health treatment services. This question
will help identify facilities that provide
both substance abuse and mental health
treatment services.
A question on the primary focus of
the facility was dropped because it was
found to be too subjective and less
useful than asking directly about the
services the facility provides. The new
question will identify facilities that
provide mental health treatment
services.
New items have been added to
determine if the facility offers treatment
for gambling disorders, internet use
disorders or other non-substance abuse
disorders.
A question on special programs was
reformatted to reduce burden. The
question previously had two parts, one
to determine if particular kinds of
clients were accepted at the facility and
another to determine if the facility had
special groups or programs for
particular kinds of clients. The first part
has been dropped. Adolescents, adult
women and adult men have been broken
out of the list of kinds of clients in order
to ask if the facility services only clients
in these groups. Two new categories
have been added to determine if the
facility has special programs for persons
who have experienced intimate partner
violence/physical abuse and persons
who have experienced sexual abuse.
A new question has been added to
ascertain the extent to which the facility
has adopted health information
technology in its operations.
