(MAI PT Pilot) Data Collection
Instruments.
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration’s
(SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse
Prevention (CSAP) and Center for
Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) are
requesting approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
monitor the Minority AIDS Initiative:
Substance Use Disorder Prevention and
Treatment Pilot Program (MAI PT Pilot)
through administration of a suite of data
collection instruments for grant
compliance and programmatic
performance monitoring. This package
describes the data collection activities
and proposed instruments. Two
instruments will facilitate grant
compliance monitoring, and the third
instrument is designed for program
performance monitoring.
• The MAI PT Pilot—Organizational
Readiness Assessment (MAI–ORA) is a
one-time self-assessment tool intended
to guide MAI PT Pilot grant recipients
to objectively assess their capacity to
provide substance use prevention,
substance use disorder or co-occurring
mental health disorder treatment, and
HIV, viral hepatitis, and sexually
transmitted infection prevention,
screening, testing, and referral services
for racial and ethnic individuals
vulnerable to these conditions. Results
from the MAI–ORA will allow
SAMHSA to determine grantee
readiness and capacity to implement
their grant program, so that SAMHSA
can provide additional support, as
needed, to ensure grant compliance.
• The MAI PT Pilot—Programmatic
Progress Report (MAI–PPR) is a template
that grantees will use to report annual
progress and will be used to monitor
grant compliance.
• The MAI PT Pilot—Online
Reporting Tool (MAI–PORT) will be
used to conduct programmatic
performance monitoring. The MAI–
PORT is comprised of two main
sections: (1) Annual Targets Report
section for MAI PT Pilot grant recipients
to report annual federal fiscal year
programmatic goals, and (2) Quarterly
Performance Report for grantees to
report grant activities implemented
during each federal fiscal quarter. In
developing the MAI–PORT Annual
Targets Report and the Quarterly
Performance Report, CSAP/CSAT
sought the ability to elicit programmatic
information that demonstrates impact at
the program aggregate level.
Data collected through the MAI–
PORT are necessary to ensure SAMHSA
and grantees comply with requirements
under the Government Performance and
Results Act Modernization Act of 2010
E:\FR\FM\05JYN1.SGM
05JYN1
55632
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 129 / Friday, July 5, 2024 / Notices
(GPRA) that requires regular reporting of
performance measures. Additionally,
data collected through these tools will
provide critical information to
SAMHSA’s Government Project Officers
(GPOs) related to grant oversight,
including barriers and facilitators that
the grantees have experienced, and an
understanding of the technical
assistance needed to help grantees
implement their programs. The
information also provides a mechanism
to ensure grantees are meeting the
requirements of the grant funding
announcement as outlined in their
notice of grant award. In addition, the
tools reflect CSAP’s and CSAT’s desire
to elicit pertinent program level data
that can be used not only to guide future
programs and practices, but also to
respond to stakeholder, congressional
and agency inquiries.
Background and Purpose
According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), the
spread of HIV in the United States is
mainly through anal or vaginal sex or by
sharing drug-use equipment. Although
these risk factors are the same for
everyone, due to a range of social,
economic, and demographic factors,
such as stigma, discrimination, income,
education, and geographic region, some
racial and ethnic groups are more
affected than others. In 2021, CDC
reported that although Black/African
Americans represented 13 percent of the
U.S. population, they accounted for 42
percent (15,305) of the 36,801 new HIV
diagnoses; Latino/Hispanic people
represent 18.7 percent of the U.S.
population but accounted for 29 percent
(10,494) of HIV diagnoses (CDC, 2024;
United States Census Bureau, 2024).
Between 2017 and 2021, American
Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN), Native
Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander
populations were the only demographic
groups identified by the CDC with an
increase in HIV diagnoses in the United
States (CDC, 2024).
Viral hepatitis also impacts some
racial and ethnic groups
disproportionally. In 2020, nonHispanic blacks were 1.4 times as likely
to die from viral hepatitis, as compared
to non-Hispanic whites (Office of
Minority Health, 2022). Non-Hispanic
blacks were almost twice as likely to die
from hepatitis C as compared to the
white population, and while having
comparable case rates for hepatitis B in
2020, non-Hispanic blacks were 2.5
times more likely to die from hepatitis
B than non-Hispanic whites (Office of
Minority Health, 2022). Additionally,
the percentage of people aged 12 or
older with past year substance use
disorder (SUD) differed by race and
ethnicity with the highest rates among
American Indian/Alaska Native
populations (24.0 percent), followed by
Black, non-Hispanic populations (18.4
percent) (SAMHSA, 2023).
The data clearly show the
disproportionate burden faced by
minority racial and ethnic groups and
that these three issues should not be
regarded as separate diseases acting
independently, rather as a syndemic. To
address this, SAMHSA is taking a
syndemic approach to HIV, viral
hepatitis, and substance use disorder
through the MAI PT Pilot program. The
purpose of this program is to provide
substance use prevention, SUD
treatment, HIV, and viral hepatitis
prevention and treatment services for
racial and ethnic medically underserved
individuals vulnerable to a SUD and/or
mental health condition, HIV, viral
hepatitis, and other infectious disease
(e.g., sexually transmitted infection
(STI)). The populations of focus for this
program are individuals who are
particularly vulnerable to or living with
HIV/AIDS, including an emphasis on
gay, bisexual, and other men who have
sex with men, men who have sex with
men and women (MSMW), Black,
Latino, and AI/AN men who have sex
with men (MSM), Asian and Pacific
Islander, Black women, transgender
men and women, youth aged 13–24
years, and People who Inject Drugs
(PWID).
SAMHSA’s MAI PT Pilot is informed
by the key strategies and priority
jurisdictions outlined in the Ending the
HIV Epidemic in the U.S. (EHE)
initiative, Viral Hepatitis National
Strategic Plan and STI National
Strategic Plan. The program also
supports the National HIV/AIDS
Strategy (NHAS) and 2023–2026
SAMHSA Strategic Plan. Recipients will
be expected to take a syndemic
approach to SUD, HIV, viral hepatitis,
and STI by providing SUD prevention
and treatment to racial and ethnic
individuals at risk for or living with
HIV. MAI PT Pilot is authorized under
Sections 509 and 516 of the Public
Health Service Act, as amended.

Proposed Project: Programs To Reduce
Underage Drinking—(OMB No. 0930–
0316)—Revision
The Sober Truth on Preventing
Underage Drinking Act (the ‘‘STOP
Act’’) was passed by Congress in 2006,
reauthorized in December 2016 as part
of the 21st Century Cures Act (Pub. L.
114–255) and the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2023 (Pub. L. 117–
328), and codified into law in 42 U.S.C.
290bb–25b: Programs to reduce
underage drinking. The STOP Act
contains four primary elements:
1. The award of community-based
coalition enhancement grants for
underage drinking prevention activities
to eligible entities currently receiving
funds under the Drug-Free Communities
Act of 1997.
2. A national adult-oriented media
public service campaign to prevent
underage drinking (‘‘Talk. They Hear
You.’’ (TTHY), and an annual report to
Congress evaluating the campaign.
3. An annual report to Congress
summarizing federal prevention
activities and the extent of progress in
reducing underage drinking nationally,
including data from national surveys
conducted by federal agencies.
4. An annual report to Congress ‘‘on
each State’s performance in enacting,
enforcing, and creating laws,
regulations, and programs to prevent or
reduce underage drinking.’’ The State
Survey that is the subject of this request
gathers data used to develop the stateby-state report on prevention and
enforcement activities related to
underage drinking
Driven by the legislation and
coordinated by the Interagency
Coordinating Committee on the
Prevention of Underage Drinking
(ICCPUD), each of these activities work
together to prevent and reduce underage
drinking. The Interagency Coordinating
Committee on the Prevention of
Underage Drinking (ICCPUD) provides
national leadership in federal policy
and programming to support state and
community activities that prevent and
reduce underage drinking. The data
collection activities described in this
PO 00000
Frm 00087
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
package serve to assess the outputs and
outcomes of public health messaging
and interventions. The three data
collection activities outlined in this
package are:
1. The STOP Act State Survey: An
annual survey mandated by the STOP
Act legislation sent to an individual
designated by the governor of all 50
states and the mayor of the District of
Columbia;
2. The ICCPUD Alcohol Policy
Academy Evaluation: An assessment of
coalition capacity and workforce
development throughout a 12 month
Alcohol Policy Academy; and
3. The Parents Night Out Evaluation;
An assessment of changes in knowledge,
skills, and confidence of parents and
caregivers after receiving the training
and materials for Parents Night Out and
TTHY products.
The STOP Act State Survey
The STOP Act states that the
‘‘Secretary [of Health and Human
Services] shall . . . annually issue a
report on each state’s performance in
enacting, enforcing, and creating laws,
regulations, and programs to prevent or
reduce underage drinking.’’ The
Secretary has delegated responsibility
for this report to SAMHSA. Therefore,
SAMHSA has developed a ‘‘Survey of
State Underage Drinking Prevention
Policies, Programs, and Practices’’ (the
‘‘State Survey’’) to provide input for the
state-by-state report on prevention and
enforcement activities related to the
underage drinking component of the
‘‘Annual Report to Congress on the
Prevention and Reduction of Underage
Drinking’’ (‘‘Report to Congress’’).
Congress’ purpose in mandating the
collection of data on state policies,
programs, and practices through the
State Survey is to provide policymakers
and the public with otherwise
unavailable but much needed
information regarding state underage
drinking prevention policies and

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
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.
Proposed Project: Minority AIDS Initiative: Substance Use Disorder
Prevention and Treatment Pilot Program (MAI PT Pilot) Data Collection
Instruments.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's
(SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) and Center for
Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) are requesting approval from the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to monitor the Minority AIDS
Initiative: Substance Use Disorder Prevention and Treatment Pilot
Program (MAI PT Pilot) through administration of a suite of data
collection instruments for grant compliance and programmatic
performance monitoring. This package describes the data collection
activities and proposed instruments. Two instruments will facilitate
grant compliance monitoring, and the third instrument is designed for
program performance monitoring.
The MAI PT Pilot--Organizational Readiness Assessment
(MAI-ORA) is a one-time self-assessment tool intended to guide MAI PT
Pilot grant recipients to objectively assess their capacity to provide
substance use prevention, substance use disorder or co-occurring mental
health disorder treatment, and HIV, viral hepatitis, and sexually
transmitted infection prevention, screening, testing, and referral
services for racial and ethnic individuals vulnerable to these
conditions. Results from the MAI-ORA will allow SAMHSA to determine
grantee readiness and capacity to implement their grant program, so
that SAMHSA can provide additional support, as needed, to ensure grant
compliance.
The MAI PT Pilot--Programmatic Progress Report (MAI-PPR)
is a template that grantees will use to report annual progress and will
be used to monitor grant compliance.
The MAI PT Pilot--Online Reporting Tool (MAI-PORT) will be
used to conduct programmatic performance monitoring. The MAI-PORT is
comprised of two main sections: (1) Annual Targets Report section for
MAI PT Pilot grant recipients to report annual federal fiscal year
programmatic goals, and (2) Quarterly Performance Report for grantees
to report grant activities implemented during each federal fiscal
quarter. In developing the MAI-PORT Annual Targets Report and the
Quarterly Performance Report, CSAP/CSAT sought the ability to elicit
programmatic information that demonstrates impact at the program
aggregate level.
Data collected through the MAI-PORT are necessary to ensure SAMHSA
and grantees comply with requirements under the Government Performance
and Results Act Modernization Act of 2010
[[Page 55632]]
(GPRA) that requires regular reporting of performance measures.
Additionally, data collected through these tools will provide critical
information to SAMHSA's Government Project Officers (GPOs) related to
grant oversight, including barriers and facilitators that the grantees
have experienced, and an understanding of the technical assistance
needed to help grantees implement their programs. The information also
provides a mechanism to ensure grantees are meeting the requirements of
the grant funding announcement as outlined in their notice of grant
award. In addition, the tools reflect CSAP's and CSAT's desire to
elicit pertinent program level data that can be used not only to guide
future programs and practices, but also to respond to stakeholder,
congressional and agency inquiries.
Background and Purpose
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
the spread of HIV in the United States is mainly through anal or
vaginal sex or by sharing drug-use equipment. Although these risk
factors are the same for everyone, due to a range of social, economic,
and demographic factors, such as stigma, discrimination, income,
education, and geographic region, some racial and ethnic groups are
more affected than others. In 2021, CDC reported that although Black/
African Americans represented 13 percent of the U.S. population, they
accounted for 42 percent (15,305) of the 36,801 new HIV diagnoses;
Latino/Hispanic people represent 18.7 percent of the U.S. population
but accounted for 29 percent (10,494) of HIV diagnoses (CDC, 2024;
United States Census Bureau, 2024). Between 2017 and 2021, American
Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN), Native Hawaiian and other Pacific
Islander populations were the only demographic groups identified by the
CDC with an increase in HIV diagnoses in the United States (CDC, 2024).
Viral hepatitis also impacts some racial and ethnic groups
disproportionally. In 2020, non-Hispanic blacks were 1.4 times as
likely to die from viral hepatitis, as compared to non-Hispanic whites
(Office of Minority Health, 2022). Non-Hispanic blacks were almost
twice as likely to die from hepatitis C as compared to the white
population, and while having comparable case rates for hepatitis B in
2020, non-Hispanic blacks were 2.5 times more likely to die from
hepatitis B than non-Hispanic whites (Office of Minority Health, 2022).
Additionally, the percentage of people aged 12 or older with past year
substance use disorder (SUD) differed by race and ethnicity with the
highest rates among American Indian/Alaska Native populations (24.0
percent), followed by Black, non-Hispanic populations (18.4 percent)
(SAMHSA, 2023).
The data clearly show the disproportionate burden faced by minority
racial and ethnic groups and that these three issues should not be
regarded as separate diseases acting independently, rather as a
syndemic. To address this, SAMHSA is taking a syndemic approach to HIV,
viral hepatitis, and substance use disorder through the MAI PT Pilot
program. The purpose of this program is to provide substance use
prevention, SUD treatment, HIV, and viral hepatitis prevention and
treatment services for racial and ethnic medically underserved
individuals vulnerable to a SUD and/or mental health condition, HIV,
viral hepatitis, and other infectious disease (e.g., sexually
transmitted infection (STI)). The populations of focus for this program
are individuals who are particularly vulnerable to or living with HIV/
AIDS, including an emphasis on gay, bisexual, and other men who have
sex with men, men who have sex with men and women (MSMW), Black,
Latino, and AI/AN men who have sex with men (MSM), Asian and Pacific
Islander, Black women, transgender men and women, youth aged 13-24
years, and People who Inject Drugs (PWID).
SAMHSA's MAI PT Pilot is informed by the key strategies and
priority jurisdictions outlined in the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the
U.S. (EHE) initiative, Viral Hepatitis National Strategic Plan and STI
National Strategic Plan. The program also supports the National HIV/
AIDS Strategy (NHAS) and 2023-2026 SAMHSA Strategic Plan. Recipients
will be expected to take a syndemic approach to SUD, HIV, viral
hepatitis, and STI by providing SUD prevention and treatment to racial
and ethnic individuals at risk for or living with HIV. MAI PT Pilot is
authorized under Sections 509 and 516 of the Public Health Service Act,
as amended.
