Project: 2021 Behavioral Health 

Workforce Surveys, Part of the Mental 

and Substance Use Disorder 

Practitioner Data Grant Funded by 

SAMHSA, Grant Number 

H79FG000028 

SAMHSA is requesting from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) approval to administer two 

surveys being developed as part of the 

Mental and Substance Use Disorder 

Practitioner Data grant: (1) A one-time 

survey to employers of behavioral 

health providers and, (2) a one-time 

survey of licensed clinical behavioral 

health providers. The information 

gathered by these surveys will be used 

to gain critical new insights into, and to 

document, challenges in recruiting and 

retaining behavioral health staffing and 

to assess the strength of available data 

on the clinical behavioral health 

workforce actively providing care for 

mental health and substance use 

disorders. 

Employer Survey 

The survey includes questions to 

assess the following measures: Facility 

type (e.g., outpatient facility, inpatient, 

residential); type of behavioral health 

staff employed (e.g., addiction medicine 

specialists, psychiatric Nurse 

Practitioners, marriage and family 

therapists); services offered (e.g., 

assertive community treatment, partial 

hospitalization); roles and training 

needs of peer support specialists, case 

managers, care managers, and 

pharmacists (e.g., certification, 

population served, paid status, 

reimbursement); professions with 

recruitment and retention challenges 

(e.g., select from list of professions); 

reasons behind the challenges (e.g., low 

wages, high case load) and workarounds (e.g., use of locum tenens); 

average wait-time for appointments 

(e.g., new patient visits); staffing needed 

to address gaps in care (e.g., estimated 

FTEs needed by profession type); use of 

telehealth (e.g., percent of visits); 

patient mix (e.g., immigrants, LGBTQ 

communities, number of clients); and 

form of payment (e.g., percent 

commercial, Medicaid, self-pay). The 

survey will be administered online 

through Qualtrics. 

The target population will be the 

2,800 member organizations of the 

National Council of Behavioral Health 

(NCBH). NCBH members are healthcare 

organizations and management entities 

that offer treatment and supports to 

more than eight million adults and 

children living with mental illnesses 

and addictions. 

Provider Survey 

The survey will help identify how 

many licensed clinical behavioral health 

specialists (licensed psychologists, 

licensed clinical social workers, 

licensed marriage and family therapists, 

and licensed professional counselors) 

are seeing clients for behavioral health 

needs and the populations served. The 

survey includes questions to assess the 

following measures: Demographics (e.g., 

age, race/ethnicity, sex); professional 

and practice setting (e.g., self-employed, 

outpatient mental health clinic, zip 

code, hours worked); level of education 

(e.g., Masters in Social Work, Doctorate 

in Social Work); types of services 

provided (e.g., assertive community 

treatment); number of and type clients 

served (e.g., Medicaid, Medicare, 

veteran, immigrants); telehealth use 

(e.g., current or prior to COVID–19 

outbreak); and career satisfaction and 

burnout (e.g., very satisfied, ‘‘I enjoy my 

work, I have no symptoms of burnout’’). 

The target population will be a 

random sample of 5,000 licensed 

clinical behavioral health providers 

(licensed psychologists, licensed 

clinical social workers, licensed 

marriage and family therapists, and 

licensed professional counselors) in 

states where email addresses are 

available with state licensure data. 

The primary objectives of the surveys 

are to: 

• Better understand factors associated 

with challenges in both recruitment and 

retention at behavioral health provider 

organizations. 

• Estimate the workforce needed to 

better address gaps in care for mental 

health and substance use disorder. 

• Obtain new insights on staffing 

models for treatment of serious mental 

illness, such as assertive community 

treatment. 

• Collect new data on use of peer 

support specialists, care coordinators, 

and pharmacists in behavioral health 

care. 

• Assess whether state licensure data 

is a reliable data source for building a 

comprehensive database on clinical 

behavioral health practitioners who are 

actively providing client services that 

require licensure.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Section 641 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (19 U.S.C. 1641), provides 

that a person (an individual, 

corporation, association, or partnership) 

must hold a valid customs broker’s 

license and permit in order to transact 

customs business on behalf of others, 

sets forth standards for the issuance of 

brokers’ licenses and permits, and 

provides for the taking of disciplinary 

action against brokers that have engaged 

in specified types of infractions. This 

section also provides that an 

examination may be conducted to assess 

an applicant’s qualifications for a 

license. 

The regulations issued under the 

authority of section 641 are set forth in 

Title 19 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations, part 111 (19 CFR part 111). 

Part 111 sets forth the regulations 

regarding the licensing of, and granting 

of permits to, persons desiring to 

transact customs business as customs 

brokers. These regulations also include 

the qualifications required of applicants 

and the procedures for applying for 

licenses and permits. Section 111.11 of 

the CBP regulations (19 CFR 111.11) sets 

forth the basic requirements for a 

broker’s license, and in paragraph (a)(4) 

of that section provides that an 

applicant for an individual broker’s 

license must attain a passing grade (75 

percent or higher) on the examination. 

Section 111.13 of the CBP regulations 

(19 CFR 111.13) sets forth the 

requirements and procedures for the 

examination for an individual broker’s 

license and states that the customs 

broker’s license examinations will be 

given on the fourth Wednesday in April 

and October unless the regularly 

scheduled examination date conflicts 

with a national holiday, religious 

observance, or other foreseeable event. 

Due to the limited availability of 

testing sites caused by state and local 

restrictions during the COVID–19 

pandemic, CBP has changed the 

regularly scheduled dates of the 

examination. This document announces 

that CBP has scheduled the April 2021 

customs broker’s license examination 

for Wednesday, April 21, 2021, and the 

October 2021 customs broker’s license 

examination for Thursday, October 21, 

2021.

Act 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS). 

ACTION: Announcement of meeting. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) held a 

meeting remotely via web conference to 

implement the Voluntary Agreement for 

the Manufacture and Distribution of 

Critical Healthcare Resources Necessary 

to Respond to a Pandemic. 

DATES: The meeting took place on 

Monday, December 21, 2020, from 11 

a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time (ET). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Robert Glenn, Office of Business, 

Industry, Infrastructure Integration, via 

email at OB3I@fema.dhs.gov or via 

phone at (202) 212–1666. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of 

these meetings is provided as required 

by section 708(h)(8) of the Defense 

Production Act (DPA), 50 U.S.C. 

4558(h)(8), and consistent with 44 CFR 

part 332. 

The DPA authorizes the making of 

‘‘voluntary agreements and plans of 

action’’ with, among others, 

representatives of industry and business 

to help provide for the national 

defense.1 The President’s authority to 

facilitate voluntary agreements was 

delegated to the Secretary of Homeland 

Security with respect to responding to 

the spread of COVID–19 within the 

United States in Executive Order 

13911.2 The Secretary of Homeland 

Security has further delegated this 

authority to the FEMA Administrator.3

On August 17, 2020, after the 

appropriate consultations with the 

Attorney General and the Chairman of 

the Federal Trade Commission, FEMA 

completed and published in the Federal 

Register a ‘‘Voluntary Agreement for the 

Manufacture and Distribution of Critical 

Healthcare Resources Necessary to 

Respond to a Pandemic’’ (Voluntary 

Agreement).4 Unless terminated prior to 

that date, the Voluntary Agreement is 

effective until August 17, 2025, and may 

be extended subject to additional 

approval by the Attorney General after 

consultation with the Chairman of the 

Federal Trade Commission. The 

Agreement may be used to prepare for 

or respond to any pandemic, including 

COVID–19, during that time. 

On December 7, 2020, the first plan of 

action under the Voluntary 

Agreement—the Plan of Action to 

Establish a National Strategy for the 

Manufacture, Allocation, and 

Distribution of Personal Protective 

Equipment (PPE) to Respond to COVID– 

19 (Plan of Action)—was finalized.5 The 

Plan of Action established the Personal 

Protective Equipment Sub-Committee to 

Define COVID–19 PPE Requirements 

(Sub-Committee). 

The meetings covered by this notice 

were held by the Sub-Committee to 

implement the Voluntary Agreement. 

The meetings were chaired by the 

FEMA Administrator or his delegate, 

and attended by the Attorney General or 

his delegate and the Chairman of the 

Federal Trade Commission or his 

delegate. In implementing the Voluntary 

Agreement, FEMA adheres to all 

procedural requirements of 50 U.S.C. 

4558 and 44 CFR part 332. 

Meeting Objectives: The objectives of 

the meetings were to: 

(1) Finalize the priority tasks that 

should be completed first under the 

Plan of Action; 

(2) Identify which Sub-Committees 

should begin meeting in January 2021; 

and 

(3) Identify additional Participants 

and Attendees who should be invited to 

participate in the Plan of Action. 

Meetings Closed to the Public: By 

default, the DPA requires meetings held 

to implement a voluntary agreement or 

plan of action be open to the public.6

However, attendance may be limited if
