Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration June 4, 2007 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is committed to preventing the onset and reducing the progression of mental illness, substance abuse, and substance-related problems among all individuals, including youth. As part of this effort, SAMHSA has expanded and refined the agency's National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP). Two previous notices announcing these changes have been published in the Federal Register (70 FR 50381, Aug. 26, 2005; 71 FR 13133, Mar. 14, 2006). A third notice announced the first open submission period, October 1, 2006, through February 1, 2007 (71 FR 37590, June 30, 2006). This notice explains how SAMHSA and its three Centers will prioritize interventions submitted for NREPP reviews during fiscal year 2008 and provides guidance on the submission process. This information can be helpful to individuals and organizations seeking to have an intervention reviewed and described on the NREPP Web site.
