Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information 
collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these 
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.

Project: State Opioid Response (SOR) and Tribal Opioid Response (TOR) 
Program Data Collection and Performance Measurement--NEW

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's 
(SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) is requesting 
approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for data 
collection activities associated with the State Opioid Response (SOR) 
and Tribal Opioid Response (TOR) discretionary grant programs. Approval 
of this information collection will allow SAMHSA to continue to meet 
the Government Performance and Results Modernization Act of 2010 
(GPRMA) reporting requirements that quantify the effects and 
accomplishments of its discretionary grant programs which are 
consistent with OMB guidance. Information collected through this 
request will be used to monitor performance throughout the grant 
period.
    There will be up to 359 award recipients (states, territories, and 
tribal entities) in these grant programs. Grantee-level data will 
include information related to naloxone purchases and distribution. 
This grantee-level information will be collected quarterly.
    All funded states/territories and tribal entities will also be 
required to collect and report client-level data on individuals who are 
receiving opioid treatment and/or recovery services to ensure program 
goals and objectives are being met. Client-level data will include 
information such as: Demographic

[[Page 63522]]

information, services planned/received, mental health/substance use 
disorder diagnoses, medical status, employment status, substance use, 
legal status, and psychiatric status/symptoms. Client-level data will 
be collected at intake/baseline, three months post intake, six months 
post intake, and at discharge.
    CSAT anticipates that the time required to collect and report the 
grantee-level information is approximately 10 minutes per response, and 
the time required to collect and report the client-level data is 
approximately 47 minutes per response. CSAT's estimate of the burden 
associated with the client-level instrument includes an adjustment for 
data elements that are currently being collected by entities that are 
likely to be funded by the SOR/TOR grant programs.
