Proposed Project: Survey of Single State Authorities Regarding the HIV 
Set-Aside of the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant--
NEW

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's 
(SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) administers the 
Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Block Grant. This is a 
major source of funding for substance abuse activities in 60 
jurisdictions, including all States and Territories. As part of the 
SAPT Block Grant, States with an AIDS case rate of 10 per 100,000 of 
population are required to set-aside a portion of SAPT Block Grant 
funding for early Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) intervention. 
States that qualify are required to expend 2-5 percent of their yearly 
SAPT Block Grant funding on HIV Early Intervention Services (EIS) 
projects.
    The purpose of the survey is to assess the status of HIV Services 
in substance abuse treatment systems in the States and Territories; 
including how HIV Set-Aside funds are being utilized, and what results 
are being accomplished through EIS, including counseling, testing, and 
treatment, and staff and program development. A questionnaire will be 
sent to the director of each Single State Authority for the SAPT Block 
Grant in the 60 States and Territories, with responses expected over a 
two-week period.
    Below is the table of the estimated total burden hours:
