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) 276-0361.
Project: National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-
SSATS) (OMB No. 0930-0106)--Extension
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) is requesting an extension of the National Survey of Substance
Abuse Treatment (N-SSATS) data collection (OMB No. 0930-0106), which
expires on September 30, 2020. N-SSATS provides both national and
state-level data on the numbers and types of patients treated and the
characteristics of facilities providing substance abuse treatment
services. It is conducted under the authority of Section 505 of the
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 290aa-4) to meet the specific
mandates for annual information about public and private substance
abuse treatment providers and the clients they serve.
This request includes:
Collection of N-SSATS, which is an annual survey of
substance abuse treatment facilities; and
Updating of the Inventory of Behavioral Health Services
(I-BHS) which is the facility universe for the N-SSATS. I-BHS is also
the facility universe for the annual survey of mental health treatment
facilities, the National Mental Health Services Survey (N-MHSS). I-BHS
includes all substance abuse treatment and mental health treatment
facilities known to SAMHSA. (The N-MHSS data collection is covered
under OMB No. 0930-0119.)
The information in I-BHS and N-SSATS is needed to assess the nature
and extent of these resources, to identify gaps in services, and to
provide a database for treatment referrals. Both I-BHS and N-SSATS are
components of the Behavioral Health Services Information System
(BHSIS).
The request for OMB approval will include a request to update the
I-BHS facility listing on a continuous basis and to conduct the N-SSATS
and the between cycle N-SSATS (N-SSATS BC) in 2021, 2022, and 2023. The
N-SSATS BC is a procedure for collecting services data from newly
identified facilities between main cycles of the survey and will be
used to improve the listing of treatment facilities in the online
Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator.
Estimated annual burden for the BHSIS activities is shown below:
