Rescinding Policy for Resubmitting Revised Applications in 
Response to SAMHSA Program Announcements

SUMMARY: On March 12, 2001, (FR Vol. 66, No. 48, pages 14410-14411), 
the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), 
HHS, published policy outlining procedures that applicants were 
required to follow when resubmitting revised applications in response 
to SAMHSA Program Announcements. The purpose of this notice is to 
rescind the policy effective February 1, 2003.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Substance Abuse and Mental Health 
Services Administration and its three Centers, the Center for Substance 
Abuse Treatment (CSAT), the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), 
and the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), publish Program 
Announcements and Requests for Applications (RFAs) to solicit 
applications for their grant programs. Program Announcements, unlike 
RFAs, have continuous application receipt dates; thereby, giving 
applicants an opportunity to resubmit, for a later receipt date, 
revised applications that were not funded. Although applicants may 
still revise and resubmit applications, effective February 1, 2003, 
SAMHSA is rescinding the policy that outlined specific instructions for 
revising and resubmitting the applications.
    Contact: Ms. Sandra Stephens, Extramural Policy Team Leader, 
Division of Planning and Budget, Office of Policy, Planning, and 
Budget, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. 
Telephone: (301) 443-9916; Fax: (301) 443-1659.

    Dated: February 7, 2003.
Richard Kopanda,
Executive Officer, SAMHSA.
