Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
In compliance with Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 concerning the
opportunity for public comment on
proposed collections of information, the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA)
will publish periodic summaries of
proposed projects. To request more
information on the proposed projects or
to obtain a copy of the information
collection plans, call the SAMHSA
Reports Clearance Officer at (240) 276–
0361.
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;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
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 21. This section further requires that
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 21, 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. According to
Public Law 116–94 (‘‘Tobacco 21’’),
signed on December 20, 2019, penalties
are capped at 10 percent. 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 21; 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 2024. Extending
OMB approval of the current report
format will continue to facilitate
consistent, credible, and efficient
monitoring of Synar compliance across
the states.
