(OMB No. 0930–0222)—Extension
Section 1926 of the Public Health
Service Act [42 U.S.C. 300x–26]
stipulates that Substance Abuse
Prevention and Treatment Block Grant
(SABG) funding agreements for alcohol
and drug abuse programs for fiscal year
1994 and subsequent fiscal years require
states to have in effect a law stating that
it is unlawful for any manufacturer,
retailer, or distributor of tobacco
products to sell or distribute any such
product to any individual under the age
of 18. This section further requires that
PO 00000
Frm 00037

Sfmt 4703
states conduct annual, random,
unannounced inspections to ensure
compliance with the law; that the state
submit annually a report describing the
results of the inspections, the activities
carried out by the state to enforce the
required law, the success the state has
achieved in reducing the availability of
tobacco products to individuals under
the age of 18, and the strategies to be
utilized by the state for enforcing such
law during the fiscal year for which the
grant is sought.
Before making an award to a state
under the SABG, the Secretary must
make a determination that the state has
maintained compliance with these
requirements. If a determination is made
that the state is not in compliance,
penalties shall be applied. Penalties
ranged from 10 percent of the Block
Grant in applicable year 1 (FFY 1997
SABG Applications) to 40 percent in
applicable year 4 (FFY 2000 SABG
Applications) and subsequent years.
Respondents include the 50 states, the
District of Columbia, the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa,
the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands, Palau, Micronesia, and
the Marshall Islands. Red Lake Indian
Tribe is not subject to tobacco
requirements.
Regulations that implement this
legislation are at 45 CFR 96.130, are
approved by OMB under control
number 0930–0163, and require that
each state submit an annual Synar
report to the Secretary describing their
progress in complying with section 1926
of the PHS Act. The Synar report, due
December 31 following the fiscal year
for which the state is reporting,
describes the results of the inspections
and the activities carried out by the state
to enforce the required law; the success
the state has achieved in reducing the
availability of tobacco products to
individuals under the age of 18; and the
strategies to be utilized by the state for
enforcing such law during the fiscal
year for which the grant is sought.
SAMHSA’s Center for Substance Abuse
Prevention will request an extension of
OMB approval of the current report
format associated with section 1926 (42
U.S.C. 300x–26) to 2022. Extending
OMB approval of the current report
format will continue to facilitate
consistent, credible, and efficient
monitoring of Synar compliance across
the states.

the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approval for the revision of
Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI)
monitoring tools, which includes both
youth and adult questionnaires as well
as the quarterly progress report. This
revision includes the inclusion of new
cohorts, substantial revisions to the
youth and adult questionnaires, updates
to the data used to estimate response
rates and expected numbers of
participants by service duration (see
Table 1 below).
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
The cohorts of grantees funded by the
MAI and included in this clearance
request are:
• Capacity Building Initiative (CBI)
2015
• Capacity Building Initiative (CBI)

2017
• Capacity Building Initiative (CBI)

The target population for the MAI
grantees will be at-risk minority

grantees are expected to report their
monitoring data using SAMHSA’s
Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF)
to target minority populations, as well
as other high risk groups residing in
communities of color with high
prevalence of Substance Abuse and
HIV/AIDS. The primary objectives of the
monitoring tools include:
• Assess the success of the MAI in
reducing risk factors and increasing
protective factors associated with the
transmission of the Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV),
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), and other
sexually-transmitted diseases (STD).
• Measure the effectiveness of
evidence-based programs and
infrastructure development activities
such as: Outreach and training,
mobilization of key stakeholders,
substance abuse and HIV/AIDS
counseling and education, testing,
referrals to appropriate medical
treatment and/or other intervention
strategies (i.e., cultural enrichment
activities, educational and vocational
resources, social marketing campaigns,
and computer-based curricula).
• Investigate intervention types and
features that yield the best outcomes for
specific population groups.
• Assess the extent to which access to
health care was enhanced for
population groups and individuals
vulnerable to behavioral health
disparities residing in communities
targeted by funded interventions.
