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 2002 
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 2002 activity listed 
above are subject to the intergovernmental review requirements of 
Executive Order 12372, as implemented through DHHS regulations at 45 
CFR part 100. Executive Order 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.

Administration.
