Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 79 / Wednesday, April 26, 2017 / Notices
A redesign for NSDUH will require
considerable effort and will break trends
with earlier NSDUH data where new
estimates could not be compared to
those from previous years. It is essential
to take sufficient time to develop and
validate any redesigned measures to
avoid the need for further near-term
changes with the potential for
additional, unanticipated breaks in data
trends. The last partial redesign was
implemented in 2015. SAMHSA is now
exploring the possibility of another
redesign sometime in the future.

Request for Comments
This notice is a general solicitation of
comments from the public. Proposed
changes should meet the following
criteria:
• Because NSDUH is a general
population survey and includes
individuals 12 years and older,
questions must be understandable to a
person with a 6th grade reading level.
• Each question must have analytic
utility. That is, questions must be useful
either to estimate prevalence or as a key
component in statistical analyses, such
as studies of the potential impact of
policies.
• Questions must apply to enough
respondents that precise estimation is
possible (i.e., behaviors, experiences
and attitudes must be prevalent enough
to ensure reliable estimates).
• Questions should generate data for
aggregated analyses, not to assess the
efficacy of a particular treatment
program.
• Questions should be useful in
tracking trends or changes in treatment
behavior even when policies change.
• When adding new questions,
current questions must be identified for
deletion, so there is no increase in
respondent burden; survey
administration time should average no
more than 1 hour.
• Any new questions should be
administrable according to NSDUH
survey procedures and as part of the
redesigned NSDUH questionnaire.
Under current practices, this means new
questions would be administered using
audio computer-assisted selfinterviewing [ACASI]), allow no parent
proxy reports for youth respondents,
and entail no special sampling
requirements or changes to household
screening questions.

• Any changes would be made at the
beginning of any future redesign, and
will not be changed again until the next
redesign in order to be able to maintain
trend data.
Issues of interest for public comment
include but are not limited to the
following:
• Timing of redesign since it will lead
to a break in trends across the board
• Whether and which questionnaire
topic areas will add to the utility of
the NSDUH
• Potential barriers in developing
questions for identified questionnaire
topic areas
• Additional topic areas of interest
• Topics and questions to drop from the
NSDUH
• Input on feasibility, cost, data
accuracy and data completeness for
questionnaire and methodological
revisions under consideration
All comments should be received by
June 26, 2017.
Summer King,
Statistician.

to obtain a copy of the information
collection plans, call the SAMHSA
Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276–

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;

Proposed Project: Access to Recovery
(ATR) Program (OMB No. 0930–0266)—
Reinstatement
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration’s
(SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse
Treatment (CSAT) is charged with the
Access to Recovery (ATR) program
which will allow grantees (States,
Territories, the District of Columbia and
Tribal Organizations) a means to
implement voucher programs for
substance abuse clinical treatment and
recovery support services. The ATR data
collection (OMB No. 0930–0266) will be
a reinstatement from the previous
approval that expires on May 31, 2017.
There will be no changes to the two
client-level tools.
The goals of the ATR program are to:
(1) Provide client choice among
substance abuse clinical treatment and
recovery support service providers, (2)
expand access to a comprehensive array
of clinical treatment and recovery
support options (including faith-based
programmatic options), and (3) increase
substance abuse treatment capacity.
Monitoring outcomes, tracking costs,
and preventing waste, fraud and abuse
to ensure accountability and
effectiveness in the use of Federal funds
are also important elements of the ATR
program. Grantees, as a contingency of
their award, are responsible for
collecting Voucher Information (VI) and
Voucher Transaction (VT) data from
their clients.
The primary purpose of this data
collection activity is to meet the
reporting requirements of the
Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA) by allowing SAMHSA to
quantify the effects and
accomplishments of SAMHSA
programs. The following table is an
estimated annual response burden for
this effort.
