SAMHSA has indicated to OMB that funds from DASIS will be used, consistent with the FY 2005 President's Budget, to fund the projected shortfall for costs of the survey incurred in FY 05. Prior to submitting the 2006 NSDUH request to OMB for approval, SAMHSA must provide a report to OMB specifically detailing a plan for completing the FY 06 survey within the approved Budget allocation in the FY 06 Presidents Budget.
