21 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.
