Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request 

Periodically, the Substance Abuse and 

Mental Health Services Administration 

(SAMHSA) will publish a summary of 

information collection requests under 

OMB review, in compliance with the

Chapter 35). To request a copy of these

Project: Community Mental Health 

Services Block Grant and Substance 

Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block 

Grant FY 2020–2021 Plan and Report 

Guidance and Instructions (OMB No. 

0930–0168)—Extension 

The Substance Abuse and Mental 

Health Services Administration 

(SAMHSA) is requesting approval from 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for an extension of the 2018–19 

Community Mental Health Services 

Block Grant (MHBG) and Substance 

Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block 

Grant (SABG) Plan and Report Guidance 

and Instructions. 

Currently, the SABG 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 SABG. 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 targeted 

prevention activities and 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. 

To help states meet the challenges of 

2020 and beyond, and to foster the 

implementation and management of an 

integrated physical health, mental 

health and addiction 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’, territories’ and the Red 

Lake Band of the Chippewa Tribe’s 

(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 2020–2021 

application has sections that are 

required and other sections where 

additional information is requested. The 

FY 2020–2021 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 integration. 

Therefore, as part of this block grant 

planning process, SAMHSA is asking 

states to identify both their promising or 

effective strategies as well as their 

technical assistance needs to implement 

the strategies they identify in their plans 

for FYs 2020 and 2021. 

To facilitate an efficient application 

process for states, SAMHSA utilized the 

questions and requests for clarification 

from representatives from SMHAs and 

SSAs to inform the proposed changes to 

the block grants. Based on these 

discussions with states, SAMHSA is 

proposing de minimis changes to the 

block grant program, consisting of 

updated dates and clarification to 

instructions. 

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 is due no later than 

September 3, 2019. The application for 

SABG-only is due no later than October 

1, 2019. A single application for MHBG 

and SABG combined is due no later 

than September 3, 2019. 

Estimates of Annualized Hour Burden 

The estimated annualized burden for 

the uniform application remains 

unchanged at 33,374 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 uniform application and annual 

reporting. Year 2 includes the estimates 

of burden for the recordkeeping and

Coast Guard 

[Docket No. USCG–2009–0973] 

Random Drug Testing Rate for 

Covered Crewmembers for 2019 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of minimum random 

drug testing rate. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has set the 

calendar year 2019 minimum random 

drug testing rate at 50 percent of 

covered crewmembers. 

DATES: The minimum random drug 

testing rate is effective January 1, 2019 

through December 31, 2019. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

questions about this notice, please 

contact Mr. Patrick Mannion, Drug and 

Alcohol Prevention and Investigation 

Program Manager, Office of 

Investigations and Casualty Analysis 

(CG–INV), U.S. Coast Guard 

Headquarters, DAPI@uscg.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast 

Guard requires marine employers to 

establish random drug testing programs 

for covered crewmembers in accordance 

with 46 CFR 16.230. Every marine 

employer is required by 46 CFR 16.500 

to collect and maintain a record of drug 

testing data for each calendar year, and 

submit this data by 15 March of the 

following year to the Coast Guard in an 

annual MIS report. 

Each year, the Coast Guard will 

publish a notice reporting the results of 

random drug testing for the previous 

calendar year’s MIS data and the 

minimum annual percentage rate for 

random drug testing for the next 

calendar year. The purpose of setting a 

minimum random drug testing rate is to 

promote maritime safety by establishing 

an effective deterrent to drug misuse 

within the maritime workforce. 

Intoxicated operations poses a serious 

threat to life, property and the 

environment in the maritime commons. 

As such, the minimum random drug 

testing rate is intended to deter and 

detect illegal drug misuse in the 

maritime industry. 

The Coast Guard announces that the 

minimum random drug testing rate for 

calendar year 2019 is 50 percent. The 

Coast Guard has increased the minimum 

random drug testing rate for 2019 as a 

result of MIS data for the most recent 

reporting year indicating that the 

positive rate is greater than one percent. 

46 CFR part 16.230(f)(2) requires the 

Commandant to set the minimum 

random drug testing rate at 50 percent 

when the positivity rate for drug use is 

greater than 1 percent. 

For 2019, the minimum random drug 

testing rate will be 50 percent of covered 

employees for the period of January 1,
