Each PAIMI grantee’s annual PPR must include a separate section, prepared by its PAIMI Advisory Council (PAC), that describes the council’s activities and its assessment of the state P&A system’s operations per the PAIMI Act at 42 U.S.C. 10805(7). In 2017, SAMHSA included the annual PAIMI PPR in the Web-based Block Grant Application System (WebBGAS). WebBGAS, SAMHSAs electronic data system, is used to collect grantee information for the following reasons: (1) To meet the OMB requirements for data collection for mandatory (formula) grant programs; (2) To comply with the annual program reporting requirements of the PAIMI Act 42 U.S.C. 10801 et seq. and the PAIMI Rules 42 CFR, Part 51; (3) To simplify the submission of PAIMI program data by the state P&A systems; (4) To meet the Government Performance Results Act (GPRA) requirements; (5) To comply with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) evaluation recommendations that SAMHSA obtain information that closely measures the actual outcomes of the programs it funds; (6) To reduce the grantee data collection burden by removing information that did not facilitate evaluation of a PAIMI grantee’s programmatic and financial management systems; (7) To provide immediate access to the PAIMI program data used to prepare a section of the Secretary’s biennial report to the President, Congress, and National Council on Disability in accordance with the Developmental Disabilities Assistance Act of 2000 at 42 U.S.C. 15005. Reports of the Secretary; (8) To improve SAMHSA’s ability to create reports, analyze trends and provide timely feedback to the P&A grantees when PPR revisions are needed. On July 17, 2017, OMB approved SAMHSA’s PPR and Advisory Council Report (Control No. 0930–0169, Expiration Date July 31, 2020).

State P&A systems report that when a facility denies a P&A system access to the facility, a client, or records, the P&A attempts to resolve the dispute through negotiation, conciliation, mediation, and other non-adversarial techniques. Only after exhausting the non-legal remedies provided under state and federal laws will a P&A system file a formal complaint in the appropriate federal district court.

To request a copy of these E:\FR\FM\13AUN1.SGM 13AUN1 40076 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 156 / Tuesday, August 13, 2019 / Notices documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276–1112. Project: Opioid Drugs in Maintenance and Detoxification Treatment of Opioid Dependence—42 CFR Part 8 (OMB No. 0930–0206) and Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs)—Extension 42 CFR part 8 establishes a certification program managed by SAMHSA’s Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT). The regulation requires that Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) be certified. ‘‘Certification’’ is the process by which SAMHSA determines that an OTP is qualified to provide opioid treatment under the Federal opioid treatment standards established by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. To become certified, an OTP must be accredited by a SAMHSA-approved accreditation body. The regulation also provides standards for such services as individualized treatment planning, increased medical supervision, and assessment of patient outcomes. This submission seeks continued approval of the information collection requirements in the regulation and of the forms used in implementing the regulation. SAMHSA currently has approval for the Application for Certification to Use Opioid Drugs in a Treatment Program Under 42 CFR 8.11 (Form SMA–162); the Application for Approval as Accreditation Body Under 42 CFR 8.3(b) (Form SMA–163); and the Exception Request and Record of Justification Under 42 CFR 8.12 (Form SMA–168), which may be used on a voluntary basis by physicians when there is a patient care situation in which the physician must make a treatment decision that differs from the treatment regimen required by the regulation. Form SMA– 168 is a simplified, standardized form to facilitate the documentation, request, and approval process for exceptions. SAMHSA believes that the recordkeeping requirements in the regulation are customary and usual practices within the medical and rehabilitative communities and has not calculated a response burden for them. The recordkeeping requirements set forth in 42 CFR 8.4, 8.11 and 8.12 include maintenance of the following: 5year retention by accreditation bodies of certain records pertaining to accreditation; documentation by an OTP of the following: A patient’s medical examination when admitted to treatment, A patient’s history, a treatment plan, any prenatal support provided the patient, justification of unusually large initial doses, changes in a patient’s dosage schedule, justification of unusually large daily doses, the rationale for decreasing a patient’s clinic attendance, and documentation of physiologic dependence. The rule also includes requirements that OTPs and accreditation organizations disclose information. For example, 42 CFR 8.12(e)(1) requires that a physician explain the facts concerning the use of opioid drug treatment to each patient. This type of disclosure is considered to be consistent with the common medical practice and is not considered an additional burden. Further, the rule requires, under Sec. 8.4(i)(1) that accreditation organizations shall make public their fee structure; this type of disclosure is standard business practice and is not considered a burden. The tables that follow summarize the annual reporting burden associated with the regulation, including burden associated with the forms. There are no changes being made to the forms.

Project: Opioid Drugs in Maintenance and Detoxification Treatment of 
Opioid Dependence--42 CFR Part 8 (OMB No. 0930-0206) and Opioid 
Treatment Programs (OTPs)--Extension

    42 CFR part 8 establishes a certification program managed by 
SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT). The regulation 
requires that Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) be certified. 
``Certification'' is the process by which SAMHSA determines that an OTP 
is qualified to provide opioid treatment under the Federal opioid 
treatment standards established by the Secretary of Health and Human 
Services. To become certified, an OTP must be accredited by a SAMHSA-
approved accreditation body. The regulation also provides standards for 
such services as individualized treatment planning, increased medical 
supervision, and assessment of patient outcomes. This submission seeks 
continued approval of the information collection requirements in the 
regulation and of the forms used in implementing the regulation.
    SAMHSA currently has approval for the Application for Certification 
to Use Opioid Drugs in a Treatment Program Under 42 CFR 8.11 (Form SMA-
162); the Application for Approval as Accreditation Body Under 42 CFR 
8.3(b) (Form SMA-163); and the Exception Request and Record of 
Justification Under 42 CFR 8.12 (Form SMA-168), which may be used on a 
voluntary basis by physicians when there is a patient care situation in 
which the physician must make a treatment decision that differs from 
the treatment regimen required by the regulation. Form SMA-168 is a 
simplified, standardized form to facilitate the documentation, request, 
and approval process for exceptions.
    SAMHSA believes that the recordkeeping requirements in the 
regulation are customary and usual practices within the medical and 
rehabilitative communities and has not calculated a response burden for 
them. The recordkeeping requirements set forth in 42 CFR 8.4, 8.11 and 
8.12 include maintenance of the following: 5-year retention by 
accreditation bodies of certain records pertaining to accreditation; 
documentation by an OTP of the following: A patient's medical 
examination when admitted to treatment, A patient's history, a 
treatment plan, any prenatal support provided the patient, 
justification of unusually large initial doses, changes in a patient's 
dosage schedule, justification of unusually large daily doses, the 
rationale for decreasing a patient's clinic attendance, and 
documentation of physiologic dependence.
    The rule also includes requirements that OTPs and accreditation 
organizations disclose information. For example, 42 CFR 8.12(e)(1) 
requires that a physician explain the facts concerning the use of 
opioid drug treatment to each patient. This type of disclosure is 
considered to be consistent with the common medical practice and is not 
considered an additional burden. Further, the rule requires, under Sec. 
8.4(i)(1) that accreditation organizations shall make public their fee 
structure; this type of disclosure is standard business practice and is 
not considered a burden.
    The tables that follow summarize the annual reporting burden 
associated with the regulation, including burden associated with the 
forms. There are no changes being made to the forms.
