The UDS is cleared for the 2003 and 2004 data collection cycles. Though the collection is cleared through 2/05, HRSA should resubmit the collection well in advance of the expiration date so that OMB can review the proposed changes for the 2005 data collection enough in advance of the start of FY 2005 to give grantees notice about any changes for that collection year. HHS shall consider changes to the UDS collection to require reporting at the site level instead of simply at the grantee level. Site level data for some data elements may be of high utility and low burden to grantees; it is likely that some site- level data may not be possible or practical to collect, however. HRSA shall continue to discuss possible disaggregation of data to the site level for various data elements collected in the UDS with OMB prior to resubmission, and shall justify those data elements that cannot or should not be disaggregated for the 2005 data collection. HHS shall meet with OMB before the end of Calendar Year 2005 to discuss these issues and commit to a timeline and procedure for providing information on the disaggregation of data at the site level. Staff at HRSA and the overall Department should be included in these discussions, as necessary. HRSA should also coordinate with SAMHSA regarding the break-out of funding for respondents from HRSA and SAMHSA.
