As in the previous OMB clearance, approval through 1/93 is granted solely for the State choice of form and content for block grant reporting as articulated in 45 CFR 96.10. States voluntarily may select the reporting format included in this package. To date, HHS has not promulgated a proposed rule amending this policy. The followi conditions must be met for this clearance: 1) The solicitation letter should articulate deletions made to the voluntary format and clarify existing policy; and 2) In addition to deleting the Services Coordination Matrix and the Regional Spending Plan, ADAMHA should dele the Regional Activity Inventory (Form-07) and regional breakouts for the Needs Assessment Summary Matrix (Form-09), and the Treatment Utilization Matrix (Form-15). ADAMHA admits that for FY 1991 "no State response was adequate to meet the statutory requirements for data-based distribution of prevention and treatment services across regions in accord with need." The statute mandates needs assessment on the community level, however, so for FY 1993 HHS must refine an instrument that is useful to States in meeting this objectiv and that provides data with practical utility. Finally, the next submission for OMB review must fully address OMB's previous clearance remarks. In particular, the Department must promulgate a proposed rule amending 45 CFR 96.10. If ADAMHA fails to respond to these concerns, future requests for voluntary or mandated formats will be disapproved.
