There has been a name change for this data collection; from "DASIS" to the "National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N SSATS)." N-SSATS is the main survey component from the prior collection which provides both national and state-level data on the numbers and types of patients treated and the characteristics of facilities providing substance abuse treatment services.
Currently there are 15,706 burden hours in the OMB inventory. SAMHSA is now requesting 11,535 hours. The net decrease of 4,171 hours is due to an 8 hour addition for DASIS adjust-ments and a 4,179 hour decrease due to program changes.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
