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. To request a copy of these documents, call the SAMHSA
Reports Clearance Officer at (240) 276-0361.
Project: State Opioid Response (SOR)/Tribal Opioid Response (TOR)
Program Instrument (OMB No. 0930-0384)--Revision
SAMHSA is requesting approval to modify its existing CSAT SOR/TOR
Program Instrument by (1) collapsing the original three questions into
two questions for clarity and (2) adding ten questions in order to
collect information on Congressionally mandated and programmatic
activities, and comply with reporting requirements. The program-level
information is collected quarterly and entered and stored in SAMHSA's
Performance Accountability and Reporting System, which is a real-time,
performance management system that captures information on the
substance use prevention and treatment and mental health services
delivered in the United States. Continued approval of this information
collection will allow SAMHSA to continue to meet Government Performance
and Results Modernization Act of 2010 reporting requirements that
quantify the effects and accomplishments of its discretionary grant
programs.
The SOR/TOR programs were first authorized under Title II Division
H of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018, Public Law 115-141.
SAMHSA anticipates 159 recipients (states, territories, and tribal
entities) will participate in these grant programs. Grantee-level data
will include information related to: Reported overdose reversals; the
purchase and distribution of naloxone; training in the administration
of naloxone; implementation of prevention and education activities;
outreach activities for underserved communities; and the purchase and
distribution of fentanyl test strips. This grantee-level information
will be collected quarterly.
The revisions to the tool will enable SAMHSA to better assess
grantee accountability and performance on the required education and
prevention activities for the SOR/TOR programs. SAMHSA will also use
the data collected through the revised tool to implement
recommendations resulting from the GAO study, ``Drug Misuse: Agencies
Have Not Fully Identified How Grants That Can Support Drug Prevention
Education Programs Contribute to National Goals (GAO-21-96).\1\
Finally, the revisions will assist SAMHSA in providing comprehensive
[[Page 55854]]
data on the full range of required activities to inform Congressionally
mandated reports for the SOR program.

CSAT anticipates that the time required to collect and report the
program-level information is approximately 18 minutes per response.
Since the submission of the original OMB package, there has been a
reduction in the number of respondents. The estimated burden associated
with the program-level instrument includes an adjustment to reflect the
current number of grantees.
