PO 00000 Frm 00055 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 55853 Project: State Opioid Response (SOR)/ Tribal Opioid Response (TOR) Program Instrument (OMB No. 0930–0384)— Revision SAMHSA is requesting approval to modify its existing CSAT SOR/TOR Program Instrument by (1) collapsing the original three questions into two questions for clarity and (2) adding ten questions in order to collect information on Congressionally mandated and programmatic activities, and comply with reporting requirements. The program-level information is collected quarterly and entered and stored in SAMHSA’s Performance Accountability and Reporting System, which is a realtime, performance management system that captures information on the substance use prevention and treatment and mental health services delivered in the United States. Continued approval of this information collection will allow SAMHSA to continue to meet Government Performance and Results Modernization Act of 2010 reporting requirements that quantify the effects and accomplishments of its discretionary grant programs. The SOR/TOR programs were first authorized under Title II Division H of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018, Public Law 115–141. SAMHSA anticipates 159 recipients (states, territories, and tribal entities) will participate in these grant programs. Grantee-level data will include information related to: Reported overdose reversals; the purchase and distribution of naloxone; training in the administration of naloxone; implementation of prevention and education activities; outreach activities for underserved communities; and the purchase and distribution of fentanyl test strips. This grantee-level information will be collected quarterly. The revisions to the tool will enable SAMHSA to better assess grantee accountability and performance on the required education and prevention activities for the SOR/TOR programs. SAMHSA will also use the data collected through the revised tool to implement recommendations resulting from the GAO study, ‘‘Drug Misuse: Agencies Have Not Fully Identified How Grants That Can Support Drug Prevention Education Programs Contribute to National Goals (GAO–21– 96).1 Finally, the revisions will assist SAMHSA in providing comprehensive 1 United States Government Accountability Office.
