based on experience with the previous
CAM program. There are two sources of
data collection burden for the
performance system. First, FTDC staff
extracts data from secondary sources for
the child, parent/caregiver and family
functioning data elements for biannual
data uploads. The total number of
responses is two per year; with each
upload taking approximately 16 hours at
each site. In addition to the data
extraction, FTDC staff will complete 2
administrations (intake and discharge)
of the NCFAS for each family
(approximately 267 families per year
based on estimates extrapolated from
the CAM program). The NCFAS takes
approximately .75 hours to complete per
family per administration. The
estimated total cost of the time FTDC
staff will spend completing data
collection is $15,952 per year (total
number of staff hours, 720.5 hours,
multiplied by $22.14, the estimated
average hourly wages for social work
professionals as published by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2013). See

Project: Notification of Intent To Use
Schedule III, IV, or V Opioid Drugs for
the Maintenance and Detoxification
Treatment of Opiate Addiction Under
21 U.S.C. 823(g)(2) (OMB No. 0930–
0234)—Extension
The Drug Addiction Treatment Act of
2000 (‘‘DATA,’’ Pub. L. 106–310)
amended the Controlled Substances Act
(21 U.S.C. 823(g)(2)) to permit
practitioners (physicians) to seek and
obtain waivers to prescribe certain
approved narcotic treatment drugs for
the treatment of opiate addiction. The
legislation sets eligibility requirements
and certification requirements as well as
an interagency notification review
process for physicians who seek
waivers. The legislation was amended
in 2005 to eliminate the patient limit for
physicians in group practices, and in
2006, to permit certain physicians to
treat up to 100 patients.
To implement these provisions,
SAMHSA developed a notification form
(SMA–167) that facilitates the
submission and review of notifications.
The form provides the information
necessary to determine whether
practitioners (i.e., independent
physicians) meet the qualifications for
waivers set forth under the new law.
Use of this form will enable physicians
to know they have provided all
information needed to determine
whether practitioners are eligible for a
waiver.
However, there is no prohibition on
use of other means to provide requisite
information. The Secretary will convey
notification information and

determinations to the Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA), which will
assign an identification number to
qualifying practitioners; this number
will be included in the practitioner’s
registration under 21 U.S.C. 823(f).
Practitioners may use the form for
three types of notification: (a) New, (b)
immediate, and (c) to notify of their
intent to treat up to 100 patients. Under
‘‘new’’ notifications, practitioners may
make their initial waiver requests to
SAMHSA. ‘‘Immediate’’ notifications
inform SAMHSA and the Attorney
General of a practitioner’s intent to
prescribe immediately to facilitate the
treatment of an individual (one) patient
under 21 U.S.C. 823(g)(2)(E)(ii). Finally,
the form may be used by physicians
with waivers to certify their need and
intent to treat up to 100 patients.
The form collects data on the
following items: Practitioner name; state
medical license number and DEA
registration number; address of primary
location, telephone and fax numbers;
email address; name and address of
group practice; group practice employer
identification number; names and DEA
registration numbers of group
practitioners; purpose of notification
new, immediate, or renewal;
certification of qualifying criteria for
treatment and management of opiate
dependent patients; certification of
capacity to refer patients for appropriate
counseling and other appropriate
ancillary services; certification of
maximum patient load, certification to
use only those drug products that meet
the criteria in the law. The form also
notifies practitioners of Privacy Act
considerations, and permits
practitioners to expressly consent to
disclose limited information to the

Proposed Project: Survey of State
Underage Drinking Prevention Policies
and Practices—(OMB No. 0930–0316)—
Revision
The Sober Truth on Preventing
Underage Drinking Act (the ‘‘STOP
Act’’) 1 states that the ‘‘Secretary [of
Health and Human Services] shall . . .
annually issue a report on each state’s
performance in enacting, enforcing, and
creating laws, regulations, and programs
to prevent or reduce underage
drinking.’’ The Secretary has delegated
responsibility for this report to
SAMHSA. Therefore, SAMHSA has
developed a Survey of State Underage
Drinking Prevention Policies and
Practices (the ‘‘State Survey’’) to provide
input for the state-by-state report on
prevention and enforcement activities
related to underage drinking component
of the Annual Report to Congress on the
1 Public
Law 109–422. It is assumed Congress
intended to include the District of Columbia as part
of the Report to Congress.

Prevention and Reduction of Underage
Drinking (‘‘Report to Congress’’).
The STOP Act also requires the
Secretary to develop ‘‘a set of measures
to be used in preparing the report on
best practices’’ and to consider
categories including but not limited to
the following:
Category #1: Sixteen 2 specific
underage drinking laws/regulations
enacted at the state level (e.g., laws
prohibiting sales to minors; laws related
to minors in possession of alcohol);
Category #2: Enforcement and
educational programs to promote
compliance with these laws/regulations;
Category #3: Programs targeted to
youths, parents, and caregivers to deter
underage drinking and the number of
individuals served by these programs;
Category #4: The amount that each
state invests, per youth capita, on the
prevention of underage drinking broken
into five categories: (a) Compliance
check programs in retail outlets; (b)
Checkpoints and saturation patrols that
include the goal of reducing and
deterring underage drinking; (c)
Community-based, school-based, and
higher-education-based programs to
prevent underage drinking; (d)
Underage drinking prevention programs
that target youth within the juvenile
justice and child welfare systems; and
(e) Any other state efforts or programs
that target underage drinking.
Congress’ purpose in mandating the
collection of data on state policies and
programs through the State Survey is to
provide policymakers and the public
with currently unavailable but much
needed information regarding state
underage drinking prevention policies
and programs. SAMHSA and other
2 Nine additional policies have been added to the
Report to Congress pursuant to Congressional
appropriations language or the Secretary’s authority
granted by the STOP Act.
