Proposed Project: Confidentiality of 

Alcohol and Drug Abuse Patient 

Records—(OMB No. 0930–0092)—

Revision 

Statute (42 U.S.C. 290dd–2) and 

regulations (42 CFR Part 2) require 

federally conducted, regualted, or 

directly or indirectly assisted alcohol 

and drug abuse programs to keep 

alcohol and drug abuse patient records 

confidential. Information requirements 

are (1) written disclosure to patients 

about Federal laws and regulations that 

protect the confidentiality of each 

patient, and (2) documenting ‘‘medical 

personnel’’ status of recipients of a 

disclosure to meet a medical emergency. 

Annual burden estimates for these 

requirements are summarized in the

Proposed Project: Opioid Treatment 

Data Systems for Disaster Planning 

Project (Pilot)—NEW 

The Substance Abuse and Mental 

Health Services Administration 

(SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse 

Treatment (CSAT), has identified a 

critical need for Opioid Treatment 

Programs (OTPs, also commonly known 

as Methadone Clinics) to be able to 

access limited but specific patient 

dosage data for patients displaced due 

to service disruptions affecting the OTP 

from which they regularly receive 

treatment (the patient’s ‘Home OTP’). 

Service disruptions in home OTPs have 

ranged in cause from events such as the 

September 11th terrorist attacks or more 

recently, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, to 

more common events such as snow 

storms or electrical black-outs. 

The proposed system will ensure that, 

in such circumstances, patients 

displaced from their home OTPs will 

still be able to obtain safe and effective 

treatment at an alternative OTP (referred 

to in this project as a ‘Guest OTP’). In 

reviewing past events involving OTP 

service disruptions and their impact on 

patients, SAMHSA, in tandem with 

numerous stakeholders, established four 

basic principles that would guide 

creation of a deliberately simple, 

centralized Web-based system to house 

patient data. Such a system would 

facilitate Guest OTPs in providing safe 

and effective continuity of treatment for 

patients temporarily unable to obtain 

treatment from their Home OTPs due to 

any form of service disruption. The 

proposed centralized data system is 

known as the Opioid Treatment Data 

Systems for Disaster. Subsequently, in a 

small sample study of five (5) OTPs, 

SAMHSA tested a protocol and data 

collection instrument for use in 

determining functional requirements for 

the proposed system. In the fall 2005, 

SAMHSA provided funding for the 

current project, to support creation of 

the necessary infrastructure for a pilot 

system, to be followed by testing on a 

regional basis. This pilot project will 

focus on creating the means by which 

vital dosage data for OTP patients can 

be made accessible to Guest OTPs called 

upon to treat patients of other programs 

in the event of service disruptions, most 

specifically, in disaster scenarios, so 

that patients are not forced during such 

circumstances to forgo or discontinue 

treatment. Ultimately, the pilot system 

will be reviewed to determine its 

effectiveness and ability to support a 

national implementation, should 

funding for such a system become 

available. 

This notice is being provided for a 

survey to be distributed to OTPs in the 

region(s) selected by SAMHSA to gather 

information regarding their present data 

collection and reporting capabilities and 

practices. Technical information from 

the surveys will be used exclusively for 

development of the overall system and 

to help inform selection of sites best 

suited for participation as pilot sites for 

testing of the Opioid Treatment Data 

Systems for Disaster Planning. OTP 

respondents will have the option of 

completing an on-line or paper version 

of the survey. The survey consists of 

approximately 25 questions 

predominantly formatted as yes/no 

responses with one to two words fill in 

the blank responses. The estimated 

maximum annual response burden to 

collect this information is as follows:
