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 list 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 (301) 443–7978.

Substance Abuse Prevention and

Treatment Block Grant Application

Format: FY 1999–2001—0930–0080

(Revision)—The Public Health Service

Act (42 U.S.C. 300x21–35 & 51–64)

authorizes block grants to States for the

purpose of providing substance abuse

prevention and treatment services.

Under the provisions of the law, States

may receive allotments only after an

application is submitted and approved

by the Secretary, DHHS. For the FY

1999 Substance Abuse Prevention and

Treatment (SAPT) Block Grant cycle,

SAMHSA will provide States with

slightly modified application forms and

instructions. These changes affect the

portion of the application that asks for

information related to section 1926

(sales of tobacco to minors). The

application no longer requires a

description of sampling methodologies

and procedures for identifying and

selecting tobacco outlets to be sampled

throughout a State, unless a change to

such methodologies or procedures has

occurred in the previous year. The

application provides for more detailed

information on the results and validity

of the random unannounced

inspections, and it will request greater

detail on the number and results of

actual enforcement activities that a State

has undertaken. At the request of the

Department, SAMHSA is including an

additional tobacco-related question in

Attachment 6 of the application. This

question requires States to briefly

describe collaboration between each

State’s Tobacco and Health Office

(ASTHO representative) and Single

State Authority for Substance Abuse

(NASADAD representative). Because

Federal funds for tobacco prevention

and control efforts are, in most cases,

awarded to different State-level

agencies, it is necessary for the

Department and SAMHSA to verify and

understand interactions at the State

level on youth tobacco prevention and

enforcement. SAMHSA has modified

the race/ethnicity categories in Form 9

to comply with recent revisions to OMB

Directive No. 15. These modifications

are not expected to increase respondent

burden.

The annual burden estimate for the

SAPT Block Grant Application Format

is shown below:
