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.
Proposed Project: Mandatory
Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug
Testing Programs (OMB No. 0930–
0158)—Extension
SAMHSA will request OMB approval
for extension of the Federal Drug
Testing Custody and Control Form
(CCF) for federal agency and federally
regulated drug testing programs which
must comply with the HHS Mandatory
Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug
Testing Programs using Urine (UrMG)
dated January 23, 2017 (82 FR 7920) and
using Oral Fluid (OFMG) dated October
25, 2019, and OMB approval for
information provided by test facilities
(laboratories and Instrumented Initial
Test Facilities, IITFs) for the National
Laboratory Certification Program
(NLCP).
Responses
per
respondent
Total number

Burden per

(hours)
The CCF is used by all federal
agencies and employers regulated by the
Department of Transportation (DOT)
and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) to document the collection and
chain of custody of urine specimens at
the collection site, for HHS-certified test
facilities to report results, and for
Medical Review Officers (MROs) to
document and report a verified result.
SAMHSA allows the use of the CCF as
a paper or electronic form. Laboratories
and IITFs seeking HHS certification
under the NLCP must complete and
submit the NLCP application form. The
NLCP application form is without
change. Prior to an inspection, an HHScertified laboratory or IITF is required to
submit specific information regarding
its procedures. Collecting this
information prior to an inspection
allows the inspectors to thoroughly
review and understand the testing
procedures before arriving for the onsite
inspection. The NLCP information
checklist is without change.
The current OMB-approved CCF has
an August 31, 2023 expiration date.
SAMHSA plans to submit the CCF
without content revisions for OMB
approval.
The annual total burden estimates for
the CCF, the NLCP application, the
NLCP information checklist, and the
NLCP recordkeeping requirements are
shown in the following table.

1 Note:
The time it takes each respondent (i.e., donor, collector, laboratory, IITF, and MRO) to complete the Federal CCF is based on an average estimated number of minutes it would take each respondent to complete their designated section of the form or regulated entities (e.g., HHS,
DOT, and NRC).
1 Note: The above number of responses is based on an estimate of the total number of specimens collected annually (approximately 150,000
federal agency specimens; 6,500,000 DOT regulated specimens, and 145,000 NRC regulated specimens).
2 Note: The estimate of 10 applications per year is based on requests for a laboratory application (urine or oral fluid) in the past year (i.e., at
the time of these calculations) and only 1 IITF application submitted after October 1, 2010.
2 Note: The estimate of three burden hours to complete the application has not changed.

In compliance with Section

SAMHSA will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the

the information collection plans, call
the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer
on (240) 276–0361.
Comments are invited on: (a) whether
the proposed collections of information

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection

ways to minimize the burden of the

Proposed Project: Request to publish
the 60-Day Notices in the Federal
Register to solicit public comment on
information collection for the continued
approval and updates for the Protection
and Advocacy for Individuals with
Mental Illness (PAIMI)—Revised
Annual Program Performance Report
(PPR)—OMB No. 0930–0169—
DECISION.
SAMHSA is requesting approval from
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for changes to the Annual PPR,
PPR Instructions, and the ACR for the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:32 Jan 09, 2023
Jkt 259001
PAIMI program. The OMB clearance for
the current 2022–2023 PPR, PPR
Instructions, and ACR (0930–0169) will
expire on 06/30/2023.
The protection and advocacy (P&A)
systems were established under the
Developmental Disabilities Act of 1975
[42 U.S.C. 15001 et seq., as amended in
2000]. The amendments of 2000 require
the Secretary of Health and Human
Services submit a biennial report on
disabilities to the President, Congress,
and the National Council on Disability.
The Secretary’s report is prepared by the
Administration on Intellectual and
Developmental Disabilities (AIDD),
within the Administration on
Community Living. The PPR, which
includes an ACR, contains information
from the PAIMI grantees on the types of
activities and services they provided on
behalf of PAIMI-eligible individuals.
SAMHSA aggregates this information
into a biennial summary report that
AIDD includes in an appendix to the
Secretary’s biennial report on
disabilities.
The PAIMI Act at 42 U.S.C. 10805(7)
requires that each P&A system prepare
and transmit a report to the Secretary
HHS and to the head of its state mental
health agency on January 1. This report
describes the activities,
accomplishments, and expenditures of
the system during the most recently
completed fiscal year, including a
section prepared by the advisory
council (the PAIMI Advisory Council or
PAC) that describes the activities of the
council and its independent assessment
of the operations of the system.
The PAIMI Act at 42 U.S.C. 10801 et
seq., authorized funds to the same
protection and advocacy (P&A) systems
created under the Developmental
Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights
Act of 1975, known as the DD Act (as
amended in 2000, 42 U.S.C. 15001 et
seq.]. The DD Act supports the
Protection and Advocacy for
Developmental Disabilities (PADD)
Program administered by the
Administration on Intellectual and
Developmental Disabilities (AIDD)
within the Administration on
Community Living. AIDD is the lead
federal P&A agency. The PAIMI Program
supports the same governor-designated
P&A systems established under the DD
Act by providing legal-based individual
and systemic advocacy services to
individuals with significant (severe)
mental illness (adults) and significant
(severe) emotional impairment

(children/youth) who are at risk for
abuse, neglect and other rights
violations while residing in a care or
treatment facility.
In 2000, the PAIMI Act amendments
created a 57th P&A system—the
American Indian Consortium (the
Navajo and Hopi Tribes in the Four
Corners region of the Southwest). The
Act, at 42 U.S.C. 10804(d), states that a
P&A system may use its allotment to
provide representation to individuals
with mental illness, as defined by
section 42 U.S.C. 10802 (4)(B)(iii),
residing in the community, including
their own home, only if the total
allotment under this title for any fiscal
year is $30 million or more, and, in
such cases, an eligible P&A system must
give priority to representing PAIMIeligible individuals, as defined by 42
U.S.C. 10802(4)(A) and (B)(i).
The Children’s Health Act of 2000
(CHA) also referenced the state P&A
system authority to obtain information
on incidents of seclusion, restraint, and
related deaths [see, CHA, Part H at 42
U.S.C. 290ii–1]. PAIMI Program formula
grants awarded by SAMHSA go directly
to each of the 57 governor-designated
P&A systems. These systems are located
in each of the 50 states, the District of
Columbia, the American Indian
Consortium, American Samoa, Guam,
the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands, the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
SAMHSA proposes the following
revision to its annual PAIMI Program
Performance Report (PPR), PPR
Instructions, and ACR:
1. All questions related to Sex/
Gender; added the following choices:
‘‘Transgender,’’ ‘‘Two-Spirit’’ for AI/AN,
and ‘‘Other.’’
2. All questions related to Age; added
the clarification ‘‘would not disclose’’ to
‘‘Unknown.’’
3. The choice ‘‘A/N I’’ (Abuse/Neglect
Investigation)was added to the
‘‘Intervention Strategies’’ section for
clarification.
4. In the ‘‘Death Investigation
Activities’’ section, the following was
added for clarification: ‘‘if zero means
the P&A did not receive any death
reports from CMS for investigation,
please note this in the Footnotes.’’
5. In the ‘‘Interventions on behalf of
groups of PAIMI-eligible Individuals’’
section, ‘‘Group Advocacy,’’ the term
‘‘non-litigation’’ was corrected.
6. Tables and instructions were added
to the ‘‘Budget’’ section, for
clarification.
