of any drug or controlled substance and
is subject to debarment, as set forth in
section 306(b)(3)(C) of the FD&C Act.
FDA has considered the applicable
factors listed in section 306(c)(3) of the
FD&C Act and determined that a
debarment period of 5 years is
appropriate.
As a result of the foregoing findings,
Jiao is debarred for 5 years from
providing services in any capacity to a
person with an approved or pending
drug product application under sections
505, 512, or 802 of the FD&C Act (21
U.S.C. 355, 360b, or 382), or under
section 351 of the Public Health Service
Act (42 U.S.C. 262), effective December
5, 2024 (see 21 U.S.C. 335a(c)(1)(B) and
(c)(2)(A)(iii) and 21 U.S.C. 321(dd)).
Any person with an approved or
pending drug product application, who
knowingly uses the services of Jiao, in
any capacity during his period of
debarment, will be subject to civil
money penalties (section 307(a)(6) of the
FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 335b(a)(6))). If Jiao,
during his period of debarment,
provides services in any capacity to a
person with an approved or pending
drug product application, he will be
subject to civil money penalties (section
307(a)(7) of the FD&C Act). In addition,
FDA will not accept or review any
abbreviated new drug applications
submitted by or with the assistance of
Jiao during his period of debarment
(section 306(c)(1)(B) of the FD&C Act).
Dated: November 27, 2024.

Proposed Project: Revision to the
Community Mental Health Services
Block Grant and Substance Use
Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery
Services Block Grant FY 2026–2027
Application Plan and Report Guide
(OMB No. 0930–0168)
SAMHSA is requesting approval from
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) to revise the 2026–2027
Community Mental Health Services
Block Grant (MHBG) and Substance Use
Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery
Services (SUPTRS) Block Grant
Application Plan and Report Guide.
Currently, the SUPTRS BG and the
MHBG differ on a number of their
practices (e.g., data collection at
individual or aggregate levels) and
statutory authorities (e.g., method of
calculating MOE, stakeholder input
requirements for planning, set asides for
specific populations or programs, etc.).
Historically, the Centers within
SAMHSA that administer these block
grants have had different approaches to
application requirements and reporting.
To compound this variation, states have
different structures for accepting,
planning, and accounting for the block
grants and the prevention set aside
within the SUPTRS BG. As a result, how
these dollars are spent and what is
known about the services and clients
that receive these funds varies by block
grant and by State.
SAMHSA has conveyed that block
grant funds must be directed toward
four purposes: (1) to fund priority
treatment and support services for
individuals without insurance or who
cycle in and out of health insurance
coverage; (2) to fund those priority
treatment and support services not
covered by Medicaid, Medicare, or
private insurance offered through the
exchanges and that demonstrate success
in improving outcomes and/or
supporting recovery; (3) to fund
universal, selective and indicated
prevention activities and services that
align with SAMHSA’s six prevention
strategies; and (4) to collect performance
and outcome data to determine the
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
ongoing effectiveness of behavioral
health prevention, treatment and
recovery support services and to plan
the implementation of new services on
a nationwide basis.
States will need help to meet future
challenges associated with, the
implementation and management of an
integrated physical health, mental
health, and substance use disorder
service system. SAMHSA has
established standards and expectations
that will lead to an improved system of
care for individuals with or at risk of
mental and substance use disorders.
Therefore, this application package
continues to fully exercise SAMHSA’s
existing authority regarding states, U.S.
territories, freely associated states, and
the Red Lake Band of Chippewa
Indians’ (subsequently referred to as
‘‘states’’) use of block grant funds as
they fully integrate behavioral health
services into the broader health care
continuum.
Consistent with previous
applications, the FY 2026–2027
application has required sections and
other sections where additional
information is requested. The FY 2026–
2027 application requires states to
submit a face sheet, a table of contents,
a behavioral health assessment and
plan, reports of expenditures and
persons served, an executive summary,
and funding agreements and
certifications. In addition, SAMHSA is
requesting information on key areas that
are critical to the states’ success in
addressing health care equity.
Therefore, as part of this block grant
planning process, states should identify
promising or effective strategies as well
as technical assistance needed to
implement the strategies identified in
their plans for FYs 2026 and 2027.
SAMHSA has made changes to the
Block Grant Plan and Report
requirements for FFY 2026 and 2027.
These changes are necessary to ensure
that funds are spent in an appropriate
and timely manner. Adjustments were
made to pre-existing tables in the plan
and report.
On the BG narrative portion of the
Block Grant Plan document changes
include editorial changes and minor
language clarifications throughout the
document. Examples include changing
‘‘call centers’’ to ‘‘contact centers’’ and
‘‘paraprofessionals’’ to ‘‘peer support
specialists and recovery coaches,
prevention specialists’’ as appropriate
throughout the document. In addition,
updated guidance on best practices and
conditions under which states may use
BG funds for improvements to their
health information technology (IT) and
systems have been made. On the MHBG
E:\FR\FM\05DEN1.SGM
05DEN1
96659
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 234 / Thursday, December 5, 2024 / Notices
application, one new planning table has
been added (Table 4a) to collect planned
MHBG budget for direct services, other
capacity building/systems development,
and administrative costs. In addition, a
new data section has been added to the
Environmental Factors and Plan section.
Both MHBG and SUPTRS BG reports
adopted HHS recommended Sexual
Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI)
measures for reporting. Key
modifications included the addition of
‘‘Two-Spirit’’ for both sexual orientation
and gender identity for individuals who
identify as American Indian or Alaska
Native, and an update of terms used.
Changes to these measures were applied
to MHBG Tables: 8A–8D, 9, 10A–10B,
13A–13B, 14, 15A–15B, 18, 19A–9B, 21,
22 23A–23B, and 24; and SUPTRS BG
Tables: 10B, 11A, 11B, 11C.
On the MHBG report there are
changes with the addition of one new
table to the state agency expenditures
section (Table 4b on the MHBG). With
the addition of this new table, the
original MHBG table 4 has been
relabeled 4a. In addition, an appendix
with a list of definitions have been
added to the aid states in reporting data.
The additional tables should not require
excessive effort as all data will already
be collected by the states on how MHBG
funds are spent on direct and system
development. Minor revisions were
made for clarification to other sections.
Proposed revisions for substance use
disorder treatment services in the FY
26–27 SUPTRS BG Plan and Report
include revisions related to removal of
stigmatizing language, with the deletion
of the term ‘abuse’, and replacement
with the term ‘use’, per the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023.
The Plan and Report also include the
universal adoption of ‘Recovery Support
Services’ as a stand-alone category for
SUPTRS BG Plan and Report tables.
These changes affect Plan Tables 1, 2b,
4b, and 6b, and Report Tables 1, 2, 4,
6, 7.
Editorial and minor stylistic changes
have been made to tables and language.
Footnotes have been revised that define
the COVID–19 and ARP Supplemental
Funding expenditure periods, including
the addition of explicit instructions on
the second No Cost Extension (NCE) for
the COVID–19 funding, and the
expiration date for the ARP funding.
Finally, the SUPTRS BG Report Table
11c has been revised to reflect the
Number of Persons Admitted to
Treatment by Sexual Orientation and
Race/Ethnicity, in a reporting format
that is compatible with the format and
content of the comparable CMHS table
for the MHBG.
Similarly, modifications to SUPTRS
BG reports were made to allow for the
accurate capture of information for the
FY 2026/2027 reporting period and
SUPTRS BG priorities.
Proposed revisions for prevention
services in the FY 26–27 SUPTRS BG
Plan include those revisions that are
related to a more intentional use of
language, with strengthened statements
with the addition of statistics, and
added language to reinforce the
interrelatedness between mental health
and substance use. There is also
reinforcement of SUPTRS BG primary
prevention set-aside funds to support
universal, selective, and/or indicated
substance use prevention strategies.
Updated tables ensure consistency in
Tables 5a–5c for both Plans and Reports,
and updated language for substances in
Table 5c. Table 5b (Primary Prevention
Expenditures by IOM Categories) was
added to align with Table 5b (Primary
Prevention Planned Expenditures by
IOM Categories) in the application.
The term ‘abstinence’ has been
removed from the Prevention National
Outcome Measures (NOMs) to better
reflect current terminology. Report
Tables 31 and 32 have been combined
into a new Report Table 31, which
reduces burden for grantees and
removes redundant, obsolete reporting
requirements. Gender categories in
Table 31 have been updated to align
with CSAT gender categories.
While the statutory deadlines and
block grant award periods remain
unchanged, SAMHSA encourages states
to turn in their application as early as
possible to allow for a full discussion
and review by SAMHSA. Applications
for the MHBG-only are due no later than
September 2, 2025. The application for
SUPTRS BG-only is due no later than
October 1, 2025. A single application for
MHBG and SUPTRS BG combined is
due no later than September 2, 2025.
Estimates of Annualized Hour Burden
The estimated annualized burden for
the uniform application will remain
33,493 hours, since most revisions have
been made for clarification and the
combining of tables will not change the
burden. Burden estimates are broken out
in the following tables showing burden
separately for Year 1 and Year 2. Year
1 includes the estimates of burden for
the uniform application and annual
reporting. Year 2 includes the estimates
of burden for the recordkeeping and
annual reporting. The reporting burden
remains constant for both years.

Proposed Project: Revision to the Community Mental Health Services
Block Grant and Substance Use Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery
Services Block Grant FY 2026-2027 Application Plan and Report Guide
(OMB No. 0930-0168)
SAMHSA is requesting approval from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) to revise the 2026-2027 Community Mental Health Services
Block Grant (MHBG) and Substance Use Prevention, Treatment, and
Recovery Services (SUPTRS) Block Grant Application Plan and Report
Guide.
Currently, the SUPTRS BG and the MHBG differ on a number of their
practices (e.g., data collection at individual or aggregate levels) and
statutory authorities (e.g., method of calculating MOE, stakeholder
input requirements for planning, set asides for specific populations or
programs, etc.). Historically, the Centers within SAMHSA that

best practices and conditions under which states may use BG funds for
improvements to their health information technology (IT) and systems
have been made. On the MHBG
[[Page 96659]]
application, one new planning table has been added (Table 4a) to
collect planned MHBG budget for direct services, other capacity
building/systems development, and administrative costs. In addition, a
new data section has been added to the Environmental Factors and Plan
section.
Both MHBG and SUPTRS BG reports adopted HHS recommended Sexual
Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) measures for reporting. Key
modifications included the addition of ``Two-Spirit'' for both sexual
orientation and gender identity for individuals who identify as
American Indian or Alaska Native, and an update of terms used. Changes
to these measures were applied to MHBG Tables: 8A-8D, 9, 10A-10B, 13A-
13B, 14, 15A-15B, 18, 19A-9B, 21, 22 23A-23B, and 24; and SUPTRS BG
Tables: 10B, 11A, 11B, 11C.
On the MHBG report there are changes with the addition of one new
table to the state agency expenditures section (Table 4b on the MHBG).
With the addition of this new table, the original MHBG table 4 has been
relabeled 4a. In addition, an appendix with a list of definitions have
been added to the aid states in reporting data. The additional tables
should not require excessive effort as all data will already be
collected by the states on how MHBG funds are spent on direct and
system development. Minor revisions were made for clarification to
other sections. Proposed revisions for substance use disorder treatment
services in the FY 26-27 SUPTRS BG Plan and Report include revisions
related to removal of stigmatizing language, with the deletion of the
term `abuse', and replacement with the term `use', per the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2023. The Plan and Report also include the
universal adoption of `Recovery Support Services' as a stand-alone
category for SUPTRS BG Plan and Report tables. These changes affect
Plan Tables 1, 2b, 4b, and 6b, and Report Tables 1, 2, 4, 6, 7.
Editorial and minor stylistic changes have been made to tables and
language. Footnotes have been revised that define the COVID-19 and ARP
Supplemental Funding expenditure periods, including the addition of
explicit instructions on the second No Cost Extension (NCE) for the
COVID-19 funding, and the expiration date for the ARP funding. Finally,
the SUPTRS BG Report Table 11c has been revised to reflect the Number
of Persons Admitted to Treatment by Sexual Orientation and Race/
Ethnicity, in a reporting format that is compatible with the format and
content of the comparable CMHS table for the MHBG.
Similarly, modifications to SUPTRS BG reports were made to allow
for the accurate capture of information for the FY 2026/2027 reporting
period and SUPTRS BG priorities.
Proposed revisions for prevention services in the FY 26-27 SUPTRS
BG Plan include those revisions that are related to a more intentional
use of language, with strengthened statements with the addition of
statistics, and added language to reinforce the interrelatedness
between mental health and substance use. There is also reinforcement of
SUPTRS BG primary prevention set-aside funds to support universal,
selective, and/or indicated substance use prevention strategies.
Updated tables ensure consistency in Tables 5a-5c for both Plans
and Reports, and updated language for substances in Table 5c. Table 5b
(Primary Prevention Expenditures by IOM Categories) was added to align
with Table 5b (Primary Prevention Planned Expenditures by IOM
Categories) in the application.
The term `abstinence' has been removed from the Prevention National
Outcome Measures (NOMs) to better reflect current terminology. Report
Tables 31 and 32 have been combined into a new Report Table 31, which
reduces burden for grantees and removes redundant, obsolete reporting
requirements. Gender categories in Table 31 have been updated to align
with CSAT gender categories.
While the statutory deadlines and block grant award periods remain
unchanged, SAMHSA encourages states to turn in their application as
early as possible to allow for a full discussion and review by SAMHSA.
Applications for the MHBG-only are due no later than September 2, 2025.
The application for SUPTRS BG-only is due no later than October 1,
2025. A single application for MHBG and SUPTRS BG combined is due no
later than September 2, 2025.
Estimates of Annualized Hour Burden
The estimated annualized burden for the uniform application will
remain 33,493 hours, since most revisions have been made for
clarification and the combining of tables will not change the burden.
Burden estimates are broken out in the following tables showing burden
separately for Year 1 and Year 2. Year 1 includes the estimates of
burden for the uniform application and annual reporting. Year 2
includes the estimates of burden for the recordkeeping and annual
reporting. The reporting burden remains constant for both years.
