    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

[[Page 36208]]

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.

Executive Officer, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration.
