2016-2017 Application Guidance and Instructions (OMB No. 0930-0168)--
NEW

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA) is requesting an approval from the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for an amendment to the FY 2016-2017 Uniform Application, 
Section III. Behavioral Health Assessment and Plan, C. Environmental 
Factors and Plan. The intent of this amendment is to gather information 
regarding the states' and jurisdictions' plans to implement elements of 
a syringe services program at 1 or more community-based organizations 
that receive amounts from the grant to provide substance use disorder 
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 
guidance on April 2, 2014, to the states and jurisdictions regarding 
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.
