Comment Request

    In compliance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 concerning opportunity for public comment on proposed 
collections of information, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health 
Services Administration will publish periodic summaries of proposed 
projects. To request more information on the proposed projects or to 
obtain a copy of the information collection plans, call the SAMHSA 
Reports Clearance Officer on (301) 443-7978.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collections of 
information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions 
of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,

forms of information technology.

Proposed Project

    Tobacco Regulation for Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment--45 
CFR Part 96 (OMB No. 0930-0165; extension, no change)--This final rule 
provides guidance to States regarding compliance with section 1926 of 
the Public Health Service Act related to sale and distribution of 
tobacco to minors. The final rule implements section 1926 by specifying 
the content of the State's annual report on the provisions of the rule 
and application for block grant funds. The reporting burden shown below 
represents the average total hours to assemble, format and produce the 
information for the block grant provision on minors' access to tobacco, 
in accordance with the requirements of 45 CFR Part 96. These burden 
hours will be counted towards the total burden for the annual Substance 
Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant Application Format (OMB No. 
0930-0080) for which separate approval is obtained.
