Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration
Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) will publish a summary of
information collection requests under
OMB review, in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports
Clearance Officer on (240) 276–1243.
Project: Treatment Episode Data Set
(TEDS) (OMB No. 0930–0335)—
Revision
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) is requesting a revision of
the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS)
data collection (OMB No. 0930–0335),
which expires on January 31, 2016.
TEDS is a compilation of client-level
substance abuse treatment admission
and discharge data submitted by states
on clients treated in facilities that
receive state funds. SAMHSA is
requesting the addition of client-level
mental health admission and update/
discharge data (MH–TEDS/CLD)
submitted by states on clients treated in
facilities that receive state funds. These
mental health data have been previously
collected in support of the Community
Mental Health Services Block Grant
(MHBG) and Substance Abuse and
Prevention Treatment Block Grant
(SABG) Application Guidance and
Instructions (OMB No. 0930–0168).
TEDS/MH–TEDS/CLD data are
collected to obtain information on the
number of admissions and updates/
discharges at publicly-funded substance
abuse treatment and mental health
services facilities and on the
characteristics of clients receiving
services at those facilities. TEDS/MH–
TEDS/CLD also monitors trends in the
demographic, substance use, and mental
health characteristics of admissions. In
addition, several of the data elements
used to calculate performance measures
for the Substance Abuse Block Grant
(SABG) and Mental Health Block Grant
(MHBG) applications are collected in
TEDS/MH–TEDS/CLD.
This request includes:
• Continuation of collection of TEDS
(substance abuse) client-level
admissions and discharge data;
• Continuation of collection of MH–
TEDS client-level admissions and
update/discharge data of mental health
clients beyond the pilot phase; and
• Addition of collection of MHCLD
client-level admissions and update/
discharge data (transferred from OMB
No. 0930–0168).
Most states collect the TEDS/MH–
TEDS/CLD data elements from their
treatment providers for their own
administrative purposes and are able to
submit a cross-walked extract of their
data to TEDS/MH–TEDS/CLD. No
changes are expected in the (substance
abuse) TEDS collection. No changes are
expected in the (mental health) MHCLD collection (other than recording the
MH–TEDS/CLD burden hours separately
from the Substance Abuse Block Grant
(SABG) and Mental Health Block Grant
(MHBG) application approval
instructions (OMB No. 0930–0168) and
the addition of MH–TEDS beyond the
pilot phase. No data element changes for
TEDS/MH–TEDS/CLD are expected.
The estimated annual burden for the
separate TEDS/MH–TEDS/CLD
activities is as follows:
