(SAMHSA) is requesting an approval from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for an amendment to the FY 2016-2017 Uniform Application,

treatment and recovery services to persons who inject drugs. In
response to the emergence of prescription drug and heroin overdoses and
associated deaths in many states and jurisdictions, SAMHSA issued

the use of SABG funds for prevention education and training regarding
overdoses and the purchase of naloxone (Narcan[supreg]) and related
materials to assemble overdose prevention kits.
Respondents are the 50 states and the jurisdictions (District of
Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands,
American Samoa, Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, Federated
States of Micronesia, Guam, Republic of Marshall Islands, Republic of
Palau, and the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians of Minnesota).
The following reporting burden is based on estimates developed
considering the State substance abuse and mental health authorities
responsible for these activities and represents the average total hours
to assemble, format, and produce the requested information.
