Proposed Project: Unified Application 

for the Community Mental Health 

Services Block Grant and Substance 

Abuse and Prevention Treatment Block 

Grant FY 2012–2013 Application 

Guidance and Instructions (OMB No. 

0930–0168)—Revision 

The Substance Abuse and Mental 

Health Services Administration 

(SAMHSA), is requesting approval from 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for a revision of the 2012 and 

2013 Community Mental Health 

Services Block Grant (MHSBG) and 

Substance Abuse Prevention and 

Treatment Block Grant (SAPTBG) 

Guidance and Instructions into one 

unified block grant application. To 

minimize the burden, the two separate 

clearances for the block grant 

applications will be merged into one. 

Currently, the SAPTBG and the 

MHSBG 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 SAPTBG. 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. 

In addition, between 2012 and 2015, 

32 million individuals who are 

uninsured will have the opportunity to 

enroll in Medicaid or private health 

insurance. This expansion of health 

insurance coverage will have a 

significant impact on how State Mental 

Health Authorities (SMHAs) and State 

Substance Abuse Authorities (SSAs) use 

their limited resources. Many 

individuals served by these authorities 

are funded through Federal Block Grant 

funds. SAMHSA proposes that Block 

Grant funds 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 

targeted prevention activities and 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
20000 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 69 / Monday, April 11, 2011 / Notices 

services; and (4) to collect performance 

and outcome data to determine the 

ongoing effectiveness of behavioral 

health prevention, treatment and 

recovery support services and to plan 

the implementation of new services on 

a nationwide basis. 

States should begin planning now for 

FY 2014 when more individuals are 

insured. To ensure sufficient and 

comprehensive preparation, SAMHSA 

will use FY 2012 and 2013 to work with 

States to plan for and transition the 

Block Grants to these four purposes. 

This transition includes fully exercising 

SAMHSA’s existing authority regarding 

States’ and Jurisdictions’ (subsequently 

referred to as ‘‘States’’) use of Block 

Grant funds, and a shift in SAMHSA 

staff functions to support and provide 

technical assistance for States receiving 

Block Grant funds as they move through 

these changes. 

The proposed Mental Health Block 

Grant and the Substance Abuse 

Prevention and Treatment Block Grant 

build on ongoing efforts to reform health 

care, ensure parity and provide States 

and Territories with new tools, new 

flexibility, and state/territory-specific 

plans for available resources to provide 

their residents the health care benefits 

they need. The revised planning section 

of the Block Grant application provides 

a process for States and Territories to 

identify priorities for individuals who 

need behavioral health services in their 

jurisdictions, develop strategies to 

address these needs, and decide how to 

expend Block Grant Funds. In addition, 

the Planning Section of the Block Grant 

requests additional information from 

States that could be used to assist them 

in their reform efforts. The plan 

submitted by each State and Territory 

will provide information for SAMHSA 

and other federal partners to use in 

working with States and Territories to 

improve their behavioral health systems 

over the next two years as health care 

and economic conditions evolve. 

Currently, States and Territories are 

asked to provide strategies for seventeen 

areas that were developed almost 

twenty years ago. This new Block Grant 

application guides and prompts States 

and Territories to consider multiple 

populations and program areas that are 

likely to be priorities for States and 

Territories today, and to consider how 

changes in other funding streams that 

were not as relevant in prior years might 

fit with Block Grant funds today and in 

the future. 

In addition, the new Block Grant 

application provides States and 

Territories the flexibility to submit one 

rather than two separate Block Grant 

applications if they choose. It also 

allows States and Territories to develop 

and submit a bi-annual rather than an 

annual plan, recognizing that the 

demographics and epidemiology do not 

often change on an annual basis. These 

options may decrease the number of 

applications submitted from four in two 

years to one. 

Over the next several months, 

SAMHSA will assist States and 

Territories (individually and in smaller 

groups) as they develop their Block 

Grant applications. While there are 

some specific statutory requirements 

that SAMHSA will look for in each 

submitted application, SAMHSA 

intends to approach this process with 

the goal of assisting States and 

Territories in setting a clear direction for 

system improvements over time, rather 

than as a simple effort to seek 

compliance with minimal requirements. 

Consistent with previous 

applications, the FY 2012–2013 

application has sections that are 

required and other sections where 

additional information is requested, but 

not required. The FY 2012–2013 

application requires States to submit a 

face sheet, a table of contents, a 

behavioral health assessment and plan, 

reports of expenditures and persons 

served, executive summary, and funding 

agreements and certifications. In 

addition, SAMHSA is requesting 

information on key areas that are critical 

to their success to address health reform 

and parity. States will continue to 

receive their annual grant funding if 

they only chose to submit the required 

section of their State Plans or choose to 

submit separate plans for the MHBG or 

SAPTBG. Therefore, as part of this 

Block Grant planning process, SAMHSA 

is asking States and Territories to 

identify their technical assistance needs 

to implement the strategies they identify 

in their plans for FY 2012 and 2013. 

To facilitate an efficient application 

process for States in FY 2012–2013, 

SAMHSA convened an internal 

workgroup to develop the application 

for the Block Grant planning section. In 

addition, SAMHSA consulted with 

representatives from the state mental 

health and state substance abuse 

authorities to receive input regarding 

proposed changes to the Block Grant. 

Based on these discussions with States, 

SAMHSA is proposing several changes 

to the Block Grant programs, discussed 

in greater detail below. 

Changes to Assessment and Planning 

Activities 

Under the previous SAPTBG, States 

were requested to address seventeen 

national goals. Some of these seventeen 

goals were population specific (pregnant 

women), while others were service 

specific (substance abuse prevention 

strategies). The MHSBG required States 

to address a set of criterion for children 

with serious emotional disturbances and 

adults with serious mental illness. 

While both Block Grants required States 

to do an assessment and plan, they did 

not always allow the State or SAMHSA 

to obtain an overall picture of the State’s 

behavioral health needs and to 

incorporate consistent priorities and 

planning activities, especially for 

individuals with a co-occurring mental 

and substance use disorder. States will 

be asked to follow a four-step planning 

process which consists of: (1) Assessing 

the strengths and needs of the service 

system; (2) identifying the unmet 

service needs and critical gaps within 

the current system; (3) prioritize the 

State planning activities, and; (4) 

develop goals, strategies and 

performance indicators. 

The revised Block Grant application 

requires States to identify and analyze 

the strengths, needs, and priorities of 

their behavioral health systems. One 

important change is that States will be 

requested to take into account the 

priorities for the specific populations 

that are the current focus of the Block 

Grants in the context of the changing 

health care environment and 

SAMHSA’s strategic initiatives. The 

focus of SAMHSA’s Block Grant 

programs has not changed significantly 

over the past 20 years. While many of 

these populations originally targeted for 

the Block Grants are still a priority, 

additional populations have evolving 

needs that should be addressed. These 

include military families, youth who 

need substance use disorder services, 

individuals who experience trauma, 

increased numbers of individuals 

released from correctional facilities, and 

lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender and 

questioning (LGBTQ) individuals. The 

uniform plan required in the Block 

Grant application must address the 

statutory populations (as appropriate for 

each Block Grant) and should address 

these other populations. 

One population of particular note in 

2014 will be the newly-insured. States 

should begin planning now for 

individuals with low-incomes who are 

currently uninsured but will gain health 

coverage in 2014 when additional 

coverage options are available. Many of 

these individuals will be covered by 

Medicaid or private insurance in FY 

2014, and this will present new 

opportunities for behavioral health 

systems to expand access and capacity. 

In addition, States should identify who 

will not be covered after FY 2014, as 

well as whose coverage is insufficient 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 69 / Monday, April 11, 2011 / Notices 20001 

and how federal funds will be used to 

support these individuals who may 

need treatment and supports. 

SAMHSA is also encouraging SMHAs 

and SSAs to develop and submit a 

combined plan to address a number of 

other common areas, including bidirectional integration of behavioral 

health and primary care services, 

provision of recovery support services 

and a combined plan for the provision 

of services for individuals with cooccurring mental and substance use 

disorders. These combined plans should 

be included in a State’s application (for 

those states submitting one Block Grant 

application). For States that submit 

separate Block Grant applications, these 

combined plans for these activities 

should be included in both the State 

MHSBG and SAPTBG applications. 

The new Block Grant application 

requires States to follow the following 

planning steps: 

• Step One: Assess the strengths and 

needs of the service system to address 

the specific populations. This will 

include a description of the organization 

of the current public system, the roles 

of the state, county, and localities in the 

provision of service and the ability of 

the system to address diverse needs. 

• Step Two: Identify the unmet 

service needs and critical gaps within 

the current system. Included in this step 

is the identification of data sources used 

to determine the needs and gaps for the 

populations identified as a priority. 

• Step Three: Prioritize State 

planning activities. Given the 

information in Step 2, the States will 

prioritize the target populations as 

appropriate for each Block Grant as well 

as other priority populations as 

determined by the State. 

• Step Four: Develop goals, strategies 

and performance indicators. For each of 

the priorities identified in Step 3, the 

state will identify at least one goal, 

strategies to reach that goal, and the 

performance indicators to be examined 

over the next two years. 

In addition to the planning steps, 

States are requested to provide the 

following information: 

• Information on the Use of Block 

Grant Dollars for Block Grant 

Activities—States should project how 

Block Grant funds will be used to 

provide services for the target 

populations or areas identified in their 

plans for States that have a combined 

MHSBG and SAPTBG application. 

SAMHSA encourages States to use 

MHSBG and SAPTBG funds to support 

their or other agencies’ efforts to 

develop reimbursement strategies that 

support innovation. For example, States 

could use Block Grant funds to support 

various demonstration projects through 

other federal programs (Medicaid, HUD, 

Veterans Affairs). The new Block Grant 

application asks States to describe their 

overall reimbursement approach for 

services purchased with MHSBG and 

SAPTBG funds. States must identify the 

reimbursement methodology proposed 

for each service, prevention and 

emotional health development strategy, 

and system improvement. States are 

requested to project their expenditures 

under the MHSBG and the SAPTBG for 

treatment and support services. 

• Information on Activities that 

Support Individuals in Directing the 

Services—In the new Block Grant 

application, States are asked to provide 

information regarding policies and 

programs that allow individuals with 

mental illness and/or substance use 

disorder to direct their own care. 

• Information on Data and 

Information Technology—SAMHSA is 

requesting States to provide unique 

client-level encounter data for specific 

services that are purchased with Block 

Grant funds. States will be requested to 

complete the service utilization table in 

the Reporting Section of the 

Application. States should provide 

information on the number of 

unduplicated individuals by each 

service purchased with Block Grant 

Funds. If the State is currently unable to 

provide unique client level data for any 

part of its behavioral health system, the 

State is requested to describe in the 

Block Grant application their plan, 

process, resources needed and timeline 

for developing such capacity. 

• Description of State’s Quality 

Improvement Reporting—States have 

been reporting the program performance 

monitoring activities to include the use 

of independent peer review to improve 

the quality and appropriateness of 

treatment services delivered by 

providers receiving funds from the 

block grant (See 42 U.S.C. 300x–53(a) 

and 45 CFR 96.136), States are asked to 

attach their current quality 

improvement plan to their Block Grant 

application. 

• Description of State’s Consultation 

with Tribes—SAMHSA is required by 

the 2009 Memorandum on Tribal 

Consultation to submit plans on how it 

is to engage in regular and meaningful 

consultation and collaboration with 

tribal officials in the development of 

Federal policies that have Tribal 

implications. SAMHSA is requesting 

that States provide a description of how 

they consulted with Tribes in their 

State. This description should indicate 

how concerns of the Tribes were 

addressed in the State Block Grant 

plan(s). States shall not require any 

Tribe to waive its sovereign immunity 

in order to receive funds or in order for 

services to be provided for Tribal 

members on Tribal lands. 

• Description of State’s Service 

Management Strategies—SAMHSA, 

similar to other public and private 

payers of behavioral health services, 

seeks to ensure that services purchased 

under the Block Grant are provided to 

individuals in the right scope, amount 

and duration. The Block Grant 

application asks States to describe the 

processes that they will employ over the 

next planning period to identify trends 

in over/underutilization of SAPTBG or 

MHSBG funded services. They must 

also describe the strategies that they will 

deploy to address these utilization 

issues. SAMHSA is also requesting the 

States to describe the resources needed 

to implement utilization management 

strategies and the timeframes for 

implementing these strategies. 

• Development of State Dashboards— 

An important change to the 

administration of the MHSBG and 

SAPTBG is the creation of State 

dashboards on key performance 

indicators. National dashboard 

indicators will be based on outcome and 

performance measures that will be 

developed by SAMHSA in FY 2011. For 

FY 2012, States will be requested to 

identify a set of state-specific 

performance measures for this incentive 

program. In addition, SAMHSA will 

identify several national indicators to 

supplement the state-specific measures 

for the incentive program. The State, in 

consultation with SAMHSA, will 

establish a baseline in the first year of 

the planning cycle and identify the 

thresholds for performance in the 

subsequent year. The State will also 

propose the instrument used to measure 

the change in performance for the 

subsequent year. The State dashboards 

will be used to determine if States 

receive an incentive based on 

performance. SAMHSA is considering a 

variety of incentive options for this 

dashboard program and will solicit 

input from the States on the options. 

• Information of State’s Suicide 

Prevention Plan—As an attachment to 

the Block Grant application(s), States 

are requested to provide the most recent 

copy of their suicide prevention plan. 

While this is not a required plan, 

SAMHSA is interested in knowing the 

strategies that State’s are proposing to 

address suicide prevention. If a State 

does not have a suicide prevention plan 

or if it has not been updated in the past 

three years States are requested to 

describe when they will create or 

update their plan. 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
20002 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 69 / Monday, April 11, 2011 / Notices 

• Identification of Technical 

Assistance Needs—States are requested 

to describe the data and technical 

assistance needs identified by the State 

during the process of developing this 

plan that will be needed or helpful to 

implement the proposed plan. 

• Process for Comment on State 

Plan—Current statute requires that, as a 

condition of the funding agreement for 

the grant, States will provide 

opportunity for the public to comment 

on the State plan. In the application, 

States are asked to describe their efforts 

and procedures to obtain public 

comment on the State plan. 

• Description of Processes to Involve 

Individuals and Families—In the Block 

Grant application States are requested to 

describe their efforts to actively engage 

individuals and families in developing, 

implementing and monitoring the State 

mental health and substance abuse 

systems. 

• Description of the Use of 

Technology—Interactive 

Communication Technologies (ICTs) are 

more frequently being used to deliver 

various health care services. In the 

Block Grant application, States are 

requested to provide information on 

their use or planned use of ICTs. 

• Process for Obtaining Support of 

State Partners—The success of a State’s 

MHSBG and SAPTBG will rely heavily 

on the strategic partnership that SMHAs 

and SSAs have or will develop with 

other health, social services, education 

and other State and local governmental 

entities. States are requested to identify 

these partners in their Block Grant 

application and describe the roles they 

will play in assisting the State to 

implement the priorities identified in 

the plan. SAMHSA is requesting States 

to provide a letter of support indicating 

agreement with the description of their 

role and collaboration with the SSA 

and/or SMHA and other State agencies 

(e.g. State education authorities, the 

State Medicaid agency, etc.) 

• Description of State Behavioral 

Health Advisory Council—Each State is 

required to establish and maintain a 

State advisory council for services for 

individuals with a mental disorder. 

SAMHSA strongly encourages States to 

expand and use the same council to 

advise and consult regarding issues and 

services for persons with or at risk of 

substance abuse and substance use 

disorders as well. 

Other Changes 

States will be allowed to submit a 

joint plan for the Mental Health Services 

Block Grant and the Substance Abuse 

and Prevention and Treatment Block 

Grant. 

States will no longer be required to 

submit an annual plan. The new 

application allows States to submit a 

two-year plan for FY 2012 and 2014. 

Although the statutory dates for 

submitting the Block Grant application, 

plan and annual report remain 

unchanged, SAMHSA requests that the 

MHSBG and SAPTBG applications be 

submitted on the same date. In addition, 

the dates for submitting the plans have 

been changed to better comport with 

most States fiscal and planning years 

(July 1st through June 30th of the 

following year). More information can 

be found in the application overview. 

Also, the dates States are requested to 

submit the annual reports have been 

changed for the SAPTBG. These annual 

reports will be due on the same date as 

the reports for the MHSBG, December 

1st. Opting not to submit the block grant 

application, plan and annual report on 

the same date for the SAPTBG as the 

MHSBG will not affect State funding in 

any way (amount or timeliness of 

payment). 

Various reporting requirements for 

narrative descriptions have been deleted 

and included as a table or as an 

assurance to confirm compliance. In 

addition SAMHSA is requesting States 

to provide more detailed information on 

block grant expenditures (Table 5 in the 

reporting section). 

Estimates of Annualized Hour Burden 

The estimated annualized burden for 

the unified application is 37,429 hours. 

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 unified application and annual 

reporting. Year 2 includes the estimates 

of burden for the application update and 

annual reporting. The reporting burden 

remains constant for both years.
