collection of information, including any of the following subjects: (1) 
The necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for 
the proper performance of the agency's functions; (2) the accuracy of 
the estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 
clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology to minimize the information collection burden.
    Title of the Collection: Confidentiality of Substance Use Disorder 
Patient Records--42 CFR part 2 (formerly titled Confidentiality of 
Alcohol and Drug Abuse Patient Records--42 CFR part 2).
    Type of Collection: Extension.
    OMB No.: 0930-0092.
    Abstract: The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration (SAMHSA) (through the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) 
requests approval to extend this existing, approved collection without 
changing any collecting requirements. OCR also expects to obtain public 
comment through a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) proposing 
modifications to 42 CFR part 2 that will affect the hourly burdens 
associated with the regulations. When the NPRM is published, we expect 
to receive robust public comment on existing burdens associated with 
compliance with the part 2 regulation and on changes in burden that 
could result from the modifications proposed in the NPRM. OCR will 
update this ICR to reflect the input we receive on this notice and 
through the rulemaking process.
    Likely Respondents: Part 2 programs, qualified service 
organizations, patients with substance use disorders, and professional 
and trade associations of SUD treatment providers.
