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

Project: Addiction Technology Transfer 

Centers (ATTC) Network National 

Workforce Surveys—NEW 

The ATTC Network, a nationwide, 

multidisciplinary resource that draws 

upon the knowledge, experience and 

latest research of recognized experts in 

the field of addictions and behavioral 

health, is a unique Center Substance 

Abuse Treatment (CSAT) initiative 

formed in 1993 in response to a shortage 

of well-trained addiction and behavioral 

health professionals in the public sector. 

The ATTC Network works to enhance 

the knowledge, skills and aptitudes of 

the addiction/behavioral health 

treatment and recovery services 

workforce by disseminating current 

health services research from the 

National Institute on Drug Abuse, 

National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and 

Alcoholism, National Institute of Mental 

Health, Agency for Healthcare Research 

and Quality, National Institute of 

Justice, and other sources, as well as 

other SAMHSA programs. To 

accomplish this, the ATTC Network: (1) 

Develops and updates state-of-the-art 

research based curricula and 

professional development training, (2) 

coordinates and facilitates meetings 

between Single State Authorities, 

Provider Associations and other key 

stakeholders, and (3) provides ongoing 

technical assistance to individuals and 

organizations at the local, regional and 

national levels. 

In response to the emerging shortages 

of qualified addiction treatment and 

recovery services professionals, 

SAMHSA/CSAT instructed the ATTC 

National Office to lead the ATTC 

Network in the development and 

implementation of a national addiction 

treatment workforce data collection 

effort of those individuals who work in 

substance use specialty treatment 

services. The purpose of this survey and 

data collection is to gather information 

to guide the formation of effective 

national, regional, state, and 

organizational policies and strategies 

aimed at successfully recruiting and 

retaining a sufficient number of 

adequately prepared providers who are 

able to respond to the growing needs of 

those affected by substance use and 

mental health disorders; including cooccurring disorders and trauma. This 

data collection will offer a unique 

perspective on the clinical treatment 

field so that CSAT and the ATTC 

Network can better understand current 

successful strategies and methodologies 

being used in the workforce and 

develop appropriate training for 

emerging trends in the field. 

Although SAMHSA/CSAT is the 

primary target audience for data 

collection findings, it is expected that 

the data collected and resulting reports 

will also be useful to the ATTC 

Network, as well as to Single State 

Agencies, provider organizations, 

professional organizations, training and 

education entities, and individuals in 

the workforce. 

Overview of Data Collection and 

Purposes 

Data will be collected from two main 

sources: (1) Interviews with Single State 

Authorities (SSAs) in all fifty states (2) 

A national sample of agency directors or 

their designees, identified by CSAT in 

conjunction with the ATTC network, in 

the substance use disorders treatment 

field. Respondents will be asked to 

participate in telephone interviews. In 

addition to this original data collection, 

existing national data sets will also be 

utilized. Such data systems will 

include: 

• Census 2000 datasets 

• National Survey of Substance 

Abuse Treatment Services (N–SSATS) 

• SAMHSA Treatment Gap Projection 

Analysis 

• Treatment Episode Data 

• Bureau of Labor datasets such as 

Current Employment Statistics 

• Annapolis Coalition Data 

Provider Association Survey: The 

provider association survey will be a 

single question web survey asking 

association directors to nominate 

providers that they believe are 

exemplary in recruitment, retention or 

staff development. The purpose of this 

survey is to triangulate responses from 

three sources, the SSA, the ATTC and 

the provider association to identify 

providers that are considered by all 

three to be exceptional in their ability to 

recruit, retain or provide staff 

development for SUD direct service 

employees. 

State Substance Abuse Authorities 

Interview: Each state substance abuse 

authority or their designee will be 

interviewed to identify concerns 

regarding work force development, state 

level strategies to improve recruitment, 

retention and development of the 

addiction treatment workforce, changes 

that have occurred within the past five 

years and any treatment organization 

level practices that they think have been 

particularly successful. They will be 

asked to identify provider organizations 

that have exemplary practices to 

interview. 

Program Director/Key Staff Interview: 

Based on identification by state SSA, 

state provider association nomination 

and ATTC/CSAT staff identification, a 

minimum of 60 addiction treatment 

provider organizations will be selected 

for telephone interviews. These 

organizations may be specialty 

addiction treatment programs, 

community mental health centers that 

provide addiction treatment services or 

primary care organizations that provide 

addiction treatment services. The 

purpose of these interviews is to 

identify exemplary practices in 

recruitment, retention and staff 

development for direct service staff 

working with patients with SUDs. An 

interview script has been developed to 

guide the question formation for the 

interviews. 

Overview of Questions Related to Data 

Collection 

The objectives of the national 

addiction treatment workforce data 

collection effort are to explore issues 

related to workforce development: (1) 

Staff training, recruitment and retention; 

(2) Professional development; and (3) 

Support for strategies and 

methodologies to prepare, recruit, 

retain, and sustain the workforce. To 

accomplish these objectives, CSAT 

outlined two primary questions to be 

addressed by the workforce data 

collection: 

1. What are the anticipated workforce 

development needs for 2017–2022? 

For the purposes of this data 

collection, the ATTC Network will 

identify the growth and capacitybuilding needs over the next five years 

of direct care staff, clinical supervisors, 

and administrators in agencies 

represented in the I–SATS registry. 

2. What are the common strategies and 

methodologies to prepare, retain, and 

maintain the workforce? 

Identification of potentially effective 

strategies used to prepare and recruit 

individuals to enter the workforce (as 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

19334 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 69 / Friday, April 10, 2015 / Notices 

previously defined), and encourage 

them to remain in the workforce and 

stay current on clinical and other job 

related skills (e.g., evidence based 

practices). 

Information collected from this 

workforce data collection will help 

CSAT and the ATTC Network to better 

understand the needs of the workforce 

and categorize some best practices for 

providing support to the field now and 

in the future. Emerging trends in 

addiction and/or co-occurring and 

trauma treatment and the existence of 

mental health problems in substance 

use disorder treatment and recovery 

services will be identified and shared 

with those in the addiction/behavioral 

health treatment field so appropriate 

training and funding can be allocated. 

The information from this data 

collection will also help CSAT identify 

areas where deficiencies in substance 

use and/or co-occurring disorder and 

trauma treatment exist and provide 

assistance to regions (and states) to help 

them develop and adopt strategies for 

addressing this.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

The authority for this notice is 5 

U.S.C. 552(a), 46 U.S.C. 70110, and DHS 

Delegation No. 0170.1(II)(97)(f). As 

delegated, section 70110 authorizes the 

Coast Guard to impose conditions of 

entry on vessels arriving in U.S. waters 

from ports that the Coast Guard has not 

found to maintain effective antiterrorism measures. 

The Coast Guard does not find ports 

in Libya maintaining effective antiterrorism measures and finds that 

Libya’s legal regime, designated 

authority oversight, access control and 

cargo control are all deficient. Our 

determination applies to all ports in 

Libya. 

Accordingly, beginning April 24, 

2015, the conditions of entry shown in 

the following Table will apply to any 

vessel that visited any Libyan port in its 

last five port calls. 

TABLE—CONDITIONS OF ENTRY—VESSEL VISITING LIBYAN PORT EIN LAST FIVE PORT CALLS

No. Each vessel must: 

1 .................. Implement measures per the vessel’s security plan equivalent to Security Level 2 while in a port in Libya. As defined in the International Maritime Organization’s International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code and incorporated herein, ‘‘Security 

Level 2’’ refers to the ‘‘level for which appropriate additional protective security measures shall be maintained for a period of 

time as a result of heightened risk of a security incident.’’ 

2 .................. Ensure that each access point to the vessel is guarded and that the guards have total visibility of the exterior (both landside and 

waterside) of the vessel while the vessel is in ports in Libya. 

3 .................. Guards may be provided by the vessel’s crew; however, additional crewmembers should be placed on the vessel if necessary to 

ensure that limits on maximum hours of work are not exceeded and/or minimum hours of rest are met, or provided by outside 

security forces approved by the vessel’s master and Company Security Officer. As defined in the ISPS Code and incorporated 

herein, ‘‘Company Security Officer’’ refers to the ‘‘person designated by the Company for ensuring that a ship security assessment is carried out; that a ship security plan is developed, submitted for approval, and thereafter implemented and maintained 

and for liaison with port facility security officers and the ship security officer.’’ 

4 .................. Attempt to execute a Declaration of Security while in a port in Libya. 

5 .................. Log all security actions in the vessel’s security records.
