* The Standards Council of Canada 

(SCC) voted to end its Laboratory 

Accreditation Program for Substance 

Abuse (LAPSA) effective May 12, 1998. 

Laboratories certified through that 

program were accredited to conduct 

forensic urine drug testing as required 

by U.S. Department of Transportation 

(DOT) regulations. As of that date, the 

certification of those accredited 

Canadian laboratories will continue 

under DOT authority. The responsibility 

for conducting quarterly performance 

testing plus periodic on-site inspections 

of those LAPSA-accredited laboratories 

was transferred to the U.S. HHS, with 

the HHS’ NLCP contractor continuing to 

have an active role in the performance 

testing and laboratory inspection 

processes. Other Canadian laboratories 

wishing to be considered for the NLCP 

may apply directly to the NLCP 

contractor just as U.S. laboratories do. 

Upon finding a Canadian laboratory to 

be qualified, HHS will recommend that 

DOT certify the laboratory (61 FR 37015, 

July 16, 1996) as meeting the minimum 

standards of the Mandatory Guidelines 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 23, 2017 (82 FR 7920). After 

receiving DOT certification, the 

laboratory will be included in the 

monthly list of HHS-certified 

laboratories and participate in the NLCP 

certification maintenance program.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

Substance Abuse and Mental Health 

Services Administration 

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 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35). To request a copy of these 

documents, call the SAMHSA Reports 

Clearance Officer on (240) 276–0361. 

Proposed Project: 988 Cooperative 

Agreements Monitoring Program (OMB 

No. 0930–0290)—New ICR 

The Substance Abuse and Mental 

Health Services Administration 

(SAMHSA) is seeking Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

Emergency approval for new 

information collection activities for 

monitoring all of SAMHSA’s 988 

Cooperative Agreements. The collection 

of this information is critical to 

successfully oversee operational 

response and quality of service through 

the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline to 

ensure connections to care for 

individuals in suicidal crisis or 

emotional distress contacting in for 988 

phone, chat, and text support for 

connecting local, state/territory and 

national outcomes and monitoring 

contractual obligations for current and 

future 988 grant programs. Much of this 

information is already embedded in the 

current 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline 

network administrator grants, the 988 

state and territory grant program, or the 

988 Tribal Response grant program. 

Congress designated 988 in 2020 and 

the Lifeline transitioned to the 3-digit 

number in July 2022. As a part of the 

federal government’s commitment to 

addressing the mental health crisis in 

America, unprecedented federal 

resources have been invested to scale up 

crisis centers in support of 988. In 

section 1103(a)(2)(B) of the 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, 

Congress called for enhanced program 

evaluation, including performance 

measures to assess program response 

and improve readiness and performance 

of the service, including review of each 

contact to ensure timely connection of 

service and quality provision in line 

with evidence-based care. To help meet 

the standards and requirements set forth 

in statute, ongoing communication of 

key outcomes within this OMB request 

must be received and reviewed to 

ensure connection and quality of care 

through 988. 

The information being collected will 

be used by SAMHSA to ensure 

individuals in suicidal crisis can contact 

988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and are 

connected to crisis centers provided 

evidence-based care and able to receive 

critical resource referral and linkage, 

including opportunities for mobile crisis 

support, crisis receiving and stabilizing 

facilities, peer respite centers and 

withdrawal management services. The 

four programs to be monitored and 

evaluated include the Tribal 

Cooperative Agreements, State and 

Territory Cooperative Agreements, 988 

Crises Center Follow-up Cooperative 

Agreements, and the 988 Lifeline 

Administrator. 

The purpose of the Tribal Cooperative 

Agreements is to provide resources to 

improve response to 988 contacts 

(including calls, chats, and texts) 

originating in Tribal communities and/ 

or activated by American Indians/ 

Alaska Natives. The information 

collection instruments include Tribal 

Government: Semi Annual Progress 

Report, Tribal Government: Monthly 

Meeting Agenda, Tribal Government: 

Quality Improvement Plan. 

The purpose of the State and Territory 

Cooperative Agreements is to improve 

state and territory response to 988 

contacts (including calls, chats, and 

texts) originating in the state/territory. 

The information collection instruments 

include State/Territory: Monthly Key 

Metrics, State/Territory: Quarterly 

Report Template, State/Territory: 

Programmatic QI Plan (Annual 

Collection), State/Territory: Monthly 

Meeting Call Agenda, State/Territory: 

Chat and Text Report (Annual 

Collection), State/Territory: 

Communications Plan (Annual 

Collection), State/Territory: 

Sustainability Plan (Annual Collection), 

State/Territory: Mobile Crisis and 988– 

911 reports (Annual Collection). 

The purpose of the 988 Crisis Center 

Follow Up Cooperative Agreements is to 

provide a crisis center response that 

ensures the systematic follow-up of 

suicidal persons who contact a 988 

Suicide and Crisis Lifeline (988 Lifeline) 

Crisis Center; provides enhanced 

coordination of crisis stabilization, 

crisis respite, mobile crisis outreach 

(MCO) response services and other 

services on the crisis continuum of care; 

reduces unnecessary police engagement 

and; improves connections for high-risk 

populations. The information collection 

instruments include Crisis Center Data 

Reporting Elements and Crisis Center 

Monthly Agenda Template.

Finally, the purpose of the 988 

Lifeline Administrator is to manage, 

enhance, and strengthen the 988 

Lifeline network that routes individuals 

in the United States to a network of 

certified crisis centers that link to local 

emergency, mental health, and social 

services resources. The information 

collection instruments include 

Instrument 1: Lifeline Key Metrics 

(Monthly) and Instrument 2: Monthly 

Progress Reports. 

The total annualized burden to an 

estimated 529 respondents for the 988 

Cooperative Agreements programs 

combined monitoring is estimated to be 

2,944 hours. Burden estimates are based 

on the data collection requirements and 

the amount of respondents. These 

estimated burden hours over three years 

are as follows:
