These regulations specify requirements
for opioid treatment programs, which must apply for certification
and adhere to recordkeeping, disclosure and reporting
specifications. In addition, entities that wish to become
accreditation bodies under the regulations must apply to and obtain
approval from SAMHSA. Such bodies must develop and submit
accreditation elements for SAMHSA acceptance. Upon designation as
an accreditation body, entities must keep certain records of
accreditation surveys and submit them to SAMHSA. The must also
communicate to opioid programs the outcomes of
accreditation.....
Currently there are 2,035 total
burden hours. The program is requesting 3,031. Based on SAMHSA's
five-year experience with administering the regulation, some
estimates of the information collection burden have been changed
since the last request for information collection submitted in
September 2003. For example, SAMHSA's count of the number of OTPs
has increased from 1,110 to approximately 1,150. In addition, the
estimated number of exemptions expected was estimated at 7,700 per
year in the previous submission. Currently, the annualized estimate
of the number of individual patient exemptions has increased from
7,700 to 34,480 based on a sample of the actual submission rate. On
the other hand, the estimated burden for submission of form SMA-162
requesting transitional certification has declined to zero, while
the number of requests for certification renewal has increased to
383 per year. The estimated burden in the tables accompanying this
submission has been adjusted accordingly and indicates an increase
in the estimated information collection burden since the last
submission. The net result of these re-estimations is an adjustment
increase of 996 hours from the previously approved level of 2,035
to 3,031 hours.
