Project: Addiction Technology Transfer
Centers (ATTC) Network National
Workforce Surveys—NEW
The ATTC Network, a nationwide,
multidisciplinary resource that draws
upon the knowledge, experience and
latest research of recognized experts in
the field of addictions and behavioral
health, is a unique Center Substance
Abuse Treatment (CSAT) initiative
formed in 1993 in response to a shortage
of well-trained addiction and behavioral
health professionals in the public sector.
The ATTC Network works to enhance
the knowledge, skills and aptitudes of
the addiction/behavioral health
treatment and recovery services
workforce by disseminating current
health services research from the
National Institute on Drug Abuse,
National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and
Alcoholism, National Institute of Mental
Health, Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality, National Institute of
Justice, and other sources, as well as
other SAMHSA programs. To
accomplish this, the ATTC Network: (1)
Develops and updates state-of-the-art
research based curricula and
professional development training, (2)
coordinates and facilitates meetings
between Single State Authorities,
Provider Associations and other key
stakeholders, and (3) provides ongoing
technical assistance to individuals and
organizations at the local, regional and
national levels.
In response to the emerging shortages
of qualified addiction treatment and
recovery services professionals,
SAMHSA/CSAT instructed the ATTC
National Office to lead the ATTC
Network in the development and
implementation of a national addiction
treatment workforce data collection
effort of those individuals who work in
substance use specialty treatment
services. The purpose of this survey and
data collection is to gather information

to guide the formation of effective
national, regional, state, and
organizational policies and strategies
aimed at successfully recruiting and
retaining a sufficient number of
adequately prepared providers who are
able to respond to the growing needs of
those affected by substance use and
mental health disorders; including cooccurring disorders and trauma. This
data collection will offer a unique
perspective on the clinical treatment
field so that CSAT and the ATTC
Network can better understand current
successful strategies and methodologies
being used in the workforce and
develop appropriate training for
emerging trends in the field.
Although SAMHSA/CSAT is the
primary target audience for data
collection findings, it is expected that
the data collected and resulting reports
will also be useful to the ATTC
Network, as well as to Single State
Agencies, provider organizations,
professional organizations, training and
education entities, and individuals in
the workforce.
Overview of Data Collection and
Purposes
Data will be collected from two main
sources: (1) Interviews with Single State
Authorities (SSAs) in all fifty states (2)
A national sample of agency directors or
their designees, identified by CSAT in
conjunction with the ATTC network, in
the substance use disorders treatment
field. Respondents will be asked to
participate in telephone interviews. In
addition to this original data collection,
existing national data sets will also be
utilized. Such data systems will
include:
• Census 2000 datasets
• National Survey of Substance
Abuse Treatment Services (N–SSATS)
• SAMHSA Treatment Gap Projection
Analysis
• Treatment Episode Data
• Bureau of Labor datasets such as
Current Employment Statistics
• Annapolis Coalition Data
Provider Association Survey: The
provider association survey will be a
single question web survey asking
association directors to nominate
providers that they believe are
exemplary in recruitment, retention or
staff development. The purpose of this
survey is to triangulate responses from
three sources, the SSA, the ATTC and
the provider association to identify
providers that are considered by all
three to be exceptional in their ability to
recruit, retain or provide staff
development for SUD direct service
employees.

State Substance Abuse Authorities
Interview: Each state substance abuse
authority or their designee will be
interviewed to identify concerns
regarding work force development, state
level strategies to improve recruitment,
retention and development of the
addiction treatment workforce, changes
that have occurred within the past five
years and any treatment organization
level practices that they think have been
particularly successful. They will be
asked to identify provider organizations
that have exemplary practices to
interview.
Program Director/Key Staff Interview:
Based on identification by state SSA,
state provider association nomination
and ATTC/CSAT staff identification, a
minimum of 60 addiction treatment
provider organizations will be selected
for telephone interviews. These
organizations may be specialty
addiction treatment programs,
community mental health centers that
provide addiction treatment services or
primary care organizations that provide
addiction treatment services. The
purpose of these interviews is to
identify exemplary practices in
recruitment, retention and staff
development for direct service staff
working with patients with SUDs. An
interview script has been developed to
guide the question formation for the
interviews.
Overview of Questions Related to Data
Collection
The objectives of the national
addiction treatment workforce data
collection effort are to explore issues
related to workforce development: (1)
Staff training, recruitment and retention;
(2) Professional development; and (3)
Support for strategies and
methodologies to prepare, recruit,
retain, and sustain the workforce. To
accomplish these objectives, CSAT
outlined two primary questions to be
addressed by the workforce data
collection:
1. What are the anticipated workforce
development needs for 2017–2022?
For the purposes of this data
collection, the ATTC Network will
identify the growth and capacitybuilding needs over the next five years
of direct care staff, clinical supervisors,
and administrators in agencies
represented in the I–SATS registry.
2. What are the common strategies and
methodologies to prepare, retain, and
maintain the workforce?
Identification of potentially effective
strategies used to prepare and recruit
individuals to enter the workforce (as
E:\FR\FM\10APN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 69 / Friday, April 10, 2015 / Notices
previously defined), and encourage
them to remain in the workforce and
stay current on clinical and other job
related skills (e.g., evidence based
practices).
Information collected from this
workforce data collection will help
CSAT and the ATTC Network to better
understand the needs of the workforce
and categorize some best practices for
providing support to the field now and
in the future. Emerging trends in
addiction and/or co-occurring and
trauma treatment and the existence of
mental health problems in substance
use disorder treatment and recovery
services will be identified and shared
with those in the addiction/behavioral
health treatment field so appropriate
training and funding can be allocated.

SUMMARY:
The authority for this notice is 5
U.S.C. 552(a), 46 U.S.C. 70110, and DHS
Delegation No. 0170.1(II)(97)(f). As
delegated, section 70110 authorizes the
Coast Guard to impose conditions of
entry on vessels arriving in U.S. waters
from ports that the Coast Guard has not
found to maintain effective antiterrorism measures.
The Coast Guard does not find ports
in Libya maintaining effective antiterrorism measures and finds that
Libya’s legal regime, designated
authority oversight, access control and
cargo control are all deficient. Our
determination applies to all ports in
Libya.
Accordingly, beginning April 24,
2015, the conditions of entry shown in
the following Table will apply to any
vessel that visited any Libyan port in its
last five port calls.
TABLE—CONDITIONS OF ENTRY—VESSEL VISITING LIBYAN PORT EIN LAST FIVE PORT CALLS
No.
Each vessel must:

Implement measures per the vessel’s security plan equivalent to Security Level 2 while in a port in Libya. As defined in the International Maritime Organization’s International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code and incorporated herein, ‘‘Security
Level 2’’ refers to the ‘‘level for which appropriate additional protective security measures shall be maintained for a period of
time as a result of heightened risk of a security incident.’’
Ensure that each access point to the vessel is guarded and that the guards have total visibility of the exterior (both landside and
waterside) of the vessel while the vessel is in ports in Libya.
Guards may be provided by the vessel’s crew; however, additional crewmembers should be placed on the vessel if necessary to
ensure that limits on maximum hours of work are not exceeded and/or minimum hours of rest are met, or provided by outside
security forces approved by the vessel’s master and Company Security Officer. As defined in the ISPS Code and incorporated
herein, ‘‘Company Security Officer’’ refers to the ‘‘person designated by the Company for ensuring that a ship security assessment is carried out; that a ship security plan is developed, submitted for approval, and thereafter implemented and maintained
and for liaison with port facility security officers and the ship security officer.’’
Attempt to execute a Declaration of Security while in a port in Libya.
Log all security actions in the vessel’s security records.
