DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

Substance Abuse and Mental Health 

Services Administration 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request 

In compliance with Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 concerning 

opportunity for public comment on 

proposed collections of information, the 

Substance Abuse and Mental Health 

Services Administration (SAMHSA) 

will publish periodic summaries of 

proposed projects. To request more 

information on the proposed projects or 

to obtain a copy of the information 

collection plans, call the SAMHSA 

Reports Clearance Office on (240) 276–

1243. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collections of information 

are necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the proposed collection 

of information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Proposed Project: Substance Abuse 

Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) 

Block Grant Uniform Application 

Guidance and Instructions FY 2008–

2010 and Regulations (OMB No. 0930–

0080)—Revision 

This Federal Register Notice is 

revised to reflect that information 

collection approval requirements for the 

Substance Abuse Prevention and 

Treatment Block Grant regulation and 

Uniform Application Guidance were 

consolidated in August 2004 by a Notice 

of office of Management and Budget 

Action memo and terms of clearance. In 

accordance with that Notice of Action 

and through this amendment to the 

January 25, 2007 FRN, the Substance 

Abuse and Mental Health Services 

Administration communicates its intent 

to maintain these as a single item for 

OMB clearance purposes. Accordingly, 

a consolidated respondent burden table 

is included adding the respondent 

burden for recordkeeping historically 

associated specifically with the 

regulation. 

Sections 1921 through 1935 of the 

Public Health Services Act (U.S.C. 

300x–21 to 300x–35) provide for annual 

allotments to assist States to plan, carry 

out and evaluate activities to prevent 

and treat substance abuse and for 

related activities. Under the provisions 

of the law, States may receive 

allotments only after an application is 

submitted and approved by the 

Secretary, DHHS. For the Federal fiscal 

year 2008–2010 SAPT block Grant 

application cycles, the Substance Abuse 

and Mental Health Services 

Administration (SAMHSA) will provide 

States with revised application guidance 

and instructions to implement changes 

made in accordance with the 

recommendations of the Office of 

Management and Budget’s Program 

Assessment Rating Tool (PART) 

analysis. In addition, SAMHSA has 

incorporated recommendations from the 

National Association of State Alcohol 

and Drug Abuse Directors and their 

member States in the revisions and 

clarification of data reporting 

requirements and instructions. 

During negotiations with the States 

resulting in agreement on the National 

Outcome Measures for substance abuse 

treatment and prevention, SAMHSA 

pledged to the States to: 

1. Reduce respondent burden; 

2. Work with the States to improve 

performance management of the SAPT 

Block Grant; 

3. Improve the availability, timeliness, 

and quality of data available to Federal, 

State, and provider administrators of 

block grant funded programs. 

This revision of the Uniform 

Application and Regulation for the 

SAPT Block Grant takes initial steps 

toward implementing these 

commitments. Individual States may 

reduce their respondent burden by 

selecting the option of using SAMHSA 

pre-populated tables for Section IVa and 

b. The data for these tables would be 

drawn from SAMHSA data sets known 

as DASIS and NSDUH by SAMHSA and 

provided to the States. SAMHSA is 

providing the States with the option of 

reporting on prevention expenditures 

utilizing the six prevention strategies or 

utilizing the IOM classification of 

Universal, Selective or Indicated and is 

seeking comment regarding the most 

useful manner to convey and collect the 

primary prevention expenditure data. 

SAMHSA has designed the State 

Prevention Framework State Incentive 

Grant (SPF SIG) competitive program 

and funded contracts in States without 

a SPF SIG to support data driven 

prevention planning by Substance 

Abuse State Agencies. This application 

has been modified to encourage the 

States to use the State level data 

collected with support from these 

programs in the planning in section III 

of this SAPT Block grant application. 

The addition of on-going provider 

performance monitoring (page 90–7) 

and the narratives describing State 

Performance Management and 

Leadership (p. 93) begin the process of 

aligning the application with the 

performance management criteria 

embodied in the OMB PART program. 

In the coming twelve months, 

SAMHSA will continue to work with 

the States to assess the feasibility and 

usefulness of pre-populating the 

following sections of the application 

with data extracted from SAMHSA data 

sets to further reduce respondent 

burden: 

Form 6—Entity Inventory .................................................................................................................................... NSSATS data set. 

Form 7a & b—Treatment Utilization Matrix ....................................................................................................... DASIS/TEDS/SOMMS. 

Form 8—Treatment Needs Assessment ............................................................................................................... NSDUH, State, and sub-State. 

Forms T1–T7—Treatment Performance Measures ............................................................................................. DASIS/SOMMS. 

Form P1–P15—Prevention Performance Measures ............................................................................................ NSDUH. 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 56 / Friday, March 23, 2007 / Notices 13809 

In addition, NSDUH estimates of 

persons (1) needed, (2) needing and 

seeking, and (3) needing, seeking and 

not receiving treatment will be 

examined for application to the 

planning requirements of PART 

requirements. 

SAMHSA will also code all 

application content against PART 

requirements to insure that all 

requirements are appropriately 

addressed by applicants and Federal 

staff. 

In December 2004, SAMHSA and the 

States agreed on the goal of having all 

States reporting the NOMs measures as 

defined at the meeting by the end of a 

3-year implementation period starting in 

FFY 2005 and concluding at the end of 

FFY 2007. By January 2006, supportive 

technical assistance on information 

technology design and payment for data 

submitted became available by the 

SAMHSA State Outcomes Monitoring 

and Management System Programs. 

States who have participated in the 

State Outcomes Monitoring and 

Management System NOMs subcontract 

may choose to have their data prepopulated which would significantly 

reduce their reporting burden for this 

application. During the next twelve 

months SAMHSA in partnership with 

the States and all other SAPT Block 

Grant stakeholders, will develop 

standards for analyzing and responding 

to the results of NOMs data appropriate 

to each level of block grant fund 

administration including Federal, State, 

and Provider roles and responsibilities. 

Revisions to the previously-approved 

application resulting from such 

stakeholder input reflect the following 

changes: (1) In Section I, Form 2, ‘‘Table 

of Contents,’’ was revised to 

appropriately enumerate the specific 

items within each section; (2) In Section 

II, the Narrative description of certain 

maintenance of effort and expenditure 

base calculations was simplified to 

require submission of such information 

only if it represented a revision from 

previous years’ submissions. This 

section was also moved to its more 

appropriate place in the application 

immediately preceding reporting on 

maintenance of efforts; (3) In Section II, 

Form 4, ‘‘Substance Abuse State Agency 

Spending Report,’’ was amended to use 

consistent language for services 

expenditure reporting and planning 

across Form 4, 6, and 11. On Form 4 and 

Form 11, Row 1, the activity to be 

reported on is entitled: SAPT Block 

Grant funds for Substance Abuse 

Prevention (other than primary 

prevention) and Treatment Services to 

be consistent with the terminology used 

in Form 6, Column 5; (4) In Section II, 

Form 6, Entity Inventory, instructions 

were clarified to communicate that 

information on all substances abuse 

prevention and treatment service 

providers funded through the SSA was 

sought; (5) In section II, Form 7A, 

‘‘Treatment Utilization Matrix’’

instructions were clarified to 

communicate that information on 

persons admitted and served within the 

specific reporting period wa sought to 

enable the SAPTBG Program to address 

the recommendations of the FY 2003 

OMB Program Assessment Rating Tool 

(PART) analysis; (6) In Section II, Form 

7B, ‘‘Number Of Persons Served 

(Unduplicated Count) For Alcohol And 

Other Drug Use In State Funded 

Services,’’ instructions were clarified in 

a similar manner as Form 7a and a 

separate data cell was added to 

accommodate States’ desires to report 

on clients admitted in a prior reporting 

period but also continuing to be served 

with the current reporting period; (7) In 

Section II, Table I (Maintenance), 

‘‘Single State Agency (SSA) 

Expenditures for Substances Abuse’’

was amended to reflect the appropriate 

State fiscal year and the corresponding 

instructions were amended; (8) In 

Section II, Table II (Maintenance), 

‘‘Statewide Non-Federal Expenditures 

for Tuberculosis Services to Substance 

Abusers in Treatment,’’ was amended to 

reflect the appropriate State fiscal year 

and the corresponding instructions were 

amended; (9) In Section II, Table III 

(Maintenance), ‘‘Statewide Non-Federal 

Expenditures for HIV Early Intervention 

Services to Substance Abusers in 

Treatment,’’ was amended to allow 

States to enter the appropriate State 

fiscal year and the corresponding 

instruction were amended; (10) In 

Section II, Table IV (Maintenance), 

‘‘SSA Expenditures for Women’s 

Services,’’ was amended to reflect the 

appropriate fiscal year and the 

corresponding instructions were 

amended; (11) In Section III, Form 11, 

‘‘Intended Use Plan,’’ was amended to 

use consistent language for services 

expenditure reporting and planning; 

(12) In Section IV, subparts IV–A and 

IV–B, ‘‘Voluntary Treatment 

Performance Measures’’ and ‘‘Voluntary 

Prevention Performance Measures’’ all 

references to the term Voluntary are 

deleted as reporting on these measures 

will no longer be voluntary; (13) In 

Section IV–A, ‘‘Treatment Performance 

Measures,’’ the general instructions 

were amended to implement mandatory 

reporting on performance measures 

forms T1–T7 and a narrative 

requirement is proposed to collect 

information on States internal practices 

to use performance measure data to 

manage their systems; (14) In Section 

IV–A, ‘‘Treatment Performance 

Measures’’ Forms T1–T7 data 

specifications replaced State detail sheet 

narrative requirements for forms T1–T7 

to reduce the burden of reporting and 

improve the uniformity of data quality 

information being collected; (15) The 

Section IV–A, ‘‘Treatment Performance 

Measures,’’ T6 on infectious disease 

control efforts was deleted because it 

was determined to be duplicative of 

information requirements in Section II 

of the application; (16) In Section IV, 

subpart IV–B, ‘‘Prevention Performance 

Measures,’’ Forms P5 and P6 were 

removed, P1–P15 were substituted for 

the previous Form P1–P4 and the 

instructions were amended to address 

pre-population of prevention 

performance data.
