DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for Office
of Management and Budget (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 at (240) 276-0361.
Project: Regulations To Implement SAMHSA's Charitable Choice Statutory
Provisions--42 CFR Parts 54 and 54a (OMB No. 0930-0242)--Revision
Section 1955 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300x-65),
as amended by the Children's Health Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-310) and
Sections 581-584 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 290kk et
seq., as added by the Consolidated Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 106-
554)), set forth various provisions which aim to ensure that religious
organizations are able to compete on an equal footing for federal funds
to provide substance use services. These provisions allow religious
organizations to offer substance use services to individuals without
impairing the religious character of the organizations or the religious
freedom of the individuals who receive the services. The provisions
apply to the Substance Use Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Services
Block Grant (SUBG), to the Projects for Assistance in Transition from
Homelessness (PATH) formula grant program, and to certain SAMHSA
discretionary grant programs (programs that pay for substance use
treatment and prevention services, not for certain infrastructure and
technical assistance activities). Every effort has been made to assure
that the reporting, recordkeeping, and disclosure requirements of the
proposed regulations allow maximum flexibility in implementation and
impose minimum burden.
No changes are being made to the regulations or the information
collection provisions. A minor change reflecting current state
reporting has been made to the annual burden estimates in 54.8(c)(4)
resulting in total burden costs reported decreasing.
Information on how states comply with the requirements of 42 CFR
part 54 was approved by OMB as part of the Substance Use Prevention and
Treatment Block Grant FY 2019-2021 annual application and reporting
requirements approved under OMB control number 0930-0168.
