    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

Revision

    Section 1955 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300x-65), 
as amended by the Children's Health Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-310) and 
sections 581-584 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 290kk et 
seq., as added by the Consolidated Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 106-
554)), set forth various provisions which aim to ensure that religious 
organizations are able to compete on an equal footing for federal funds 
to provide substance use services. These provisions allow religious 
organizations to offer substance use services to individuals without 
impairing the religious character of the organizations or the religious 
freedom of the individuals who receive the services. The provisions 
apply to the Substance Use Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Services 
Block Grant (SUBG), to the Projects for Assistance in Transition from 
Homelessness (PATH) formula grant program, and to certain Substance 
Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) discretionary

prevention services, not for certain infrastructure and technical 
assistance activities). Every effort has been made to assure that the 
reporting, recordkeeping and disclosure requirements of the proposed 
regulations allow maximum flexibility in implementation and impose 
minimum burden.
    No changes are being made to the regulations or the information 
collection provisions. A minor change reflecting current state 
reporting has been made to the annual burden estimates in 54.8(c)(4) 
resulting in total burden costs reported decreasing.
