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 2001 activity is subject to

the Public Health System Reporting

Requirements.

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 Pro-Children 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.

Executive Order 12372: Applications

submitted in response to the FY 2001

activity 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: Division

of Extramural Activities, Policy, and

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.
