DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
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: 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 abuse services. These provisions allow religious
organizations to offer substance abuse 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 Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant
(SABG), to the Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness
(PATH) formula grant program, and to certain Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) discretionary grant programs
(programs that pay for substance abuse 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; just a decrease in
the burden hours.
Information on how states comply with the requirements of 42 CFR
part 54 was approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as
part of the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant FY
2016-2017 annual application and reporting requirements approved under
OMB control number 0930-0168.
