information collection requests under
OMB review, in compliance with the

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 National Survey of Substance Abuse
Treatment (N–SSATS) data collection
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:41 Oct 07, 2015
Jkt 238001
(OMB No. 0930–0106), which expires
on January 31, 2016. 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 Inventory of
Behavioral Health Services (I–BHS)
which is the facility universe for the N–
SSATS as well as the annual survey of
mental health treatment facilities, the
National Mental Health Services Survey
(N–MHSS). The I–BHS includes all
substance abuse treatment and mental
health treatment facilities known to
SAMHSA. (The N–MHSS data
collection is covered under OMB No.
0930–0119.)
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).
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 2016, 2017, and 2018. 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
Behavioral Health Treatment Services
Locator.
Planned Changes
I–BHS: No changes.
N–SSATS: The N–SSATS with client
counts will continue to be conducted in
alternate years, as in the past with an
alternate version of the N–SSATS

questionnaire that includes workforce
questions as well as questions to update
the Treatment Locator conducted in the
interim years.
Version B (2016 and 2018)
The workforce questions will be
conducted in even years in place of the
‘‘locator’’ version of N–SSATS that was
completed in even years previously.
The following questions have been
deleted:
Questions on religious affiliation,
standard operating procedures, how
(paper/electronic/both) a facility
performs selected activities, questions
about reporting client counts, including
how the facility will complete client
counts; number of facilities in client
counts; names and addresses of
additional facilities reported for;
number of hospital inpatient client
counts by category, by number under
age 18, number receiving methadone,
buprenorphine, or Vivitrol®, and
number of dedicated beds; number of
residential client counts by category, by
number under age 18, and number
receiving methadone, buprenorphine, or
Vivitrol®, and number of dedicated
beds; number of outpatient client counts
by category, by number under age 18,
and number receiving methadone,
buprenorphine, or Vivitrol®, and
capacity indicator; type of substance
abuse problem, percent of co-occurring
clients; and 12-month admissions, and
the National Provider Identifier (NPI).
The following questions have been
added:
A new question has been added to
ascertain the numbers of types of
workforce staff and the average number
of hours worked per week for each type
of staff. Three questions, one for each of
the major types of treatment (hospital
inpatient, residential, and outpatient)
have been added asking for an overall
number of active clients on the survey
reference date; the purpose is to provide
an indication of size of facility for
analysis of the added workforce
questions.
A question asking overall numbers of
active clients in the facility that

This information collection is needed
to provide SAMHSA with objective
information to document the reach and
impact of services funded to address
HIV and Hepatitis in the context of
substance use disorders and mental
illness. The information will be used to
monitor quality assurance and quality
performance outcomes for organizations
funded by its grant programs. Collection
of the information included in this
request is authorized by Section 505 of
the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
290aa–4)—Data Collection.
Further support for this collection
was provided in the 2013 Senate
Appropriations Report 113–71. The
report urged SAMHSA to ‘‘focus its
efforts on building capacity and
outreach to individuals at risk or with
a primary substance abuse disorder and
to improve efforts to identify such
individuals to prevent the spread of
HIV.’’ Additional support for this data
collection effort is provided by the 2013
National HIV/AIDS Strategy which
instructed SAMHSA to ‘‘support and
rigorously evaluate the development
and implementation of new integrated
behavioral health models to address the
intersection of substance use, mental
health, and HIV.’’
