Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a list of information collection

State Treatment and Needs Assessment Program Studies
(OMB No. 0930-0186--Revision)--SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse
Treatment (CSAT), as part of its State Treatment and Needs Assessment
Program (STNAP), awards contracts to States to conduct studies for the
purpose of determining the need and demand for substance abuse
treatment within each State. In order to receive funds from the
Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant, States must
submit in their annual block grant applications an assessment of
service needs Statewide, at the sub-state level, and for specified
population groups (as required by section 1929 of the Public Health
Service Act). Most States plan to conduct an adult telephone household
survey to collect information on needed treatment for substance abuse/
dependence. In addition, many States plan to conduct a variety of more
focused studies which will collect data on treatment need in special
populations, including

adolescents, pregnant women, American Indians, arrestees and other
criminal justice populations.

burden for survey activities in two States previously funded (changes
to their previously approved survey plans) and in the nine States
receiving new contracts in FY 1998 that are engaging in primary data
collection. The burden will be as presented below:
