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 of responses Burden per response (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.

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) 276-0548.

Proposed Project: Projects for Assistance in Transition From 
Homelessness (PATH) Program Annual Report (OMB No. 0930-0205)--Revision

    SAMHSA awards grants each fiscal year to each state, the District 
of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, 
American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands 
(hereafter referred to as ``states''), from allotments authorized under 
the PATH program established by Public Law 101-645, 42 U.S.C. 290cc-21 
et seq., the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Amendments Act of 
1990 [Section 521 et seq. of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act and 
the 21st Century Cures Act (Pub. L. 114-255), hereafter referred to as 
``the Act'']. Section 522 of the Act, specifies that states must expend 
their payments solely for making grants to political subdivisions of 
the state, and to non-profit private entities (including community-
based veterans' organizations and other community organizations) for 
the purpose of providing services specified in the Act. Available 
funding is allotted in accordance with the formula provision of section 
524 of the PHS Act.
    This submission is for the revision to the approved PATH Annual 
Report Manual. Section 528 of the Act specifies, not later than January 
31 of each fiscal year, a funded entity will ``prepare and submit to 
the Secretary a report in such form and containing such information as 
the Secretary determines to be necessary for: (1) securing a record and 
a description of the purposes for which amounts received under Section 
521 were expended during the preceding fiscal year and of the 
recipients of such amounts; and (2) determining whether such amounts 
were expended in accordance with the provisions of this part.''
    The proposed revision to the PATH 2023 Annual Report Manual are as 
follows:

Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) Data Standards Updates

    When needed, field response options and questions have been updated 
to align with the most recent version of the HMIS Data Standards.
    In July 2022, HUD released updated HMIS programming specifications 
(Version 3.6) for the PATH Annual Report, which changed the 
instructions for counting contacts in questions 12a and 12b. HMIS 
vendors received these programming updates and HUD encouraged them to 
implement the changes by October 1, 2022. When providers run their PATH 
Annual Report in HMIS, it should reflect Version 3.6, including these 
most recent programming changes. In October 2022, SAMHSA launched a new 
PDX website for State Path Contacts (SPCs) and providers, who will use 
the site to enter provider-level data for their PATH Annual Report and 
progress reports. User guides were created to describe the features and 
functions of the new PDX site and provides guidance for reviewing and 
submitting PATH Annual Reports, setting up and reviewing progress 
reports, and accessing PATH resources. The requested revisions will not 
increase the overall burden.
    The estimated annual burden for these reporting requirements is 
summarized in the table below.
