USC 823 Name of Law: Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000
Currently, there are 135 total
burden hours in the OMB inventory. CSAT requests 149 total burden
hours. The increase of 14 hours is due to the fact that CSAT has
processed over 18,000 notifications under the previous PRA
approval. Although SAMHSA certified more physicians in 2008 than in
any previous year, SAMHSA expects the number of notifications
submitted to decrease over the next few years as fewer physicians
are remaining for certification. The addition 14 hours of burden
are estimated to address the number of second notifications that
physicians will submit to increase their patient limit to up to
100. There are approximately 7,000 physicians eligible to submit a
second notification.
