5. Public Health System Reporting

Requirements

The Public Health System Impact

Statement (PHSIS) is intended to keep

State and local health officials apprised

of proposed health services grant and

cooperative agreement applications

submitted by community-based

nongovernmental organizations within

their jurisdictions.

Community-based nongovernmental

service providers who are not

transmitting their applications through

the State must submit a PHSIS to the

head(s) of the appropriate State and

local health agencies in the area(s) to be

affected not later than the pertinent

receipt date for applications. This

PHSIS consists of the following

information:

a. A copy of the face page of the

application (Standard form 424).

b. A summary of the project (PHSIS),

not to exceed one page, which provides:

(1) A description of the population to

be served.

(2) A summary of the services to be

provided.

(3) A description of the coordination

planned with the appropriate State or

local health agencies.

State and local governments and

Indian Tribal Authority applicants are

not subject to the Public Health System

Reporting Requirements.

Application guidance materials will

specify if a particular FY 1997 activity

described above is/is not subject to the

Public Health System Reporting

Requirements.

6. PHS Non-Use of Tobacco Policy

Statement

The PHS strongly encourages all grant

and contract recipients to provide a

smoke-free workplace and promote the

non-use of all tobacco products. In

addition, Public Law 103–227, the ProChildren Act of 1994, prohibits smoking

in certain facilities (or in some cases,

any portion of a facility) in which

regular or routine education, library,

day care, health care, or early childhood

development services are provided to

children. This is consistent with the

PHS mission to protect and advance the

physical and mental health of the

American people.

Specific application guidance

materials may include more detailed

guidance as to how a Center will

implement SAMHSA’s policy on

promoting the non-use of tobacco.

7. Executive Order 12372

Applications submitted in response to

all FY 1997 activities listed above are

subject to the intergovernmental review

requirements of Executive Order 12372,

as implemented through DHHS

regulations at 45 CFR Part 100. E.O.

12372 sets up a system for State and

local government review of applications

for Federal financial assistance.

Applicants (other than Federally

recognized Indian tribal governments)

should contact the State’s Single Point

of Contact (SPOC) as early as possible to

alert them to the prospective

application(s) and to receive any

necessary instructions on the State’s

review process. For proposed projects

serving more than one State, the

applicant is advised to contact the SPOC

of each affected State. A current listing

of SPOCs is included in the application

guidance materials. The SPOC should

send any State review process

recommendations directly to: Office of

Extramural Activities Review,

Substance Abuse and Mental Health

Services Administration, Parklawn

Building, Room 17–89, 5600 Fishers

Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20857.

The due date for State review process

recommendations is no later than 60

days after the specified deadline date for

the receipt of applications. SAMHSA

does not guarantee to accommodate or

explain SPOC comments that are

received after the 60-day cut-off.
