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.
Currently there are 2,263.15
total approved burden hours. The program is requesting 2,902.40.
This modest increase of 28% is due to an increase since the last
OMB approval process in both the number of OTP facilities and the
quantity of SMA-168s submitted by the facilities annually since the
program has made improvements and enhancements to the web-based
online reporting system for forms SMA-162 and SMA-168. The forms
available online include a unique online feature for both the
SMA-162 and SMA-168 that pre-populates certain information within
the form. This in turn reduces the program’s time spent filling out
the forms as well as the staff time spent on processing it. However
the increase in number of facilities reporting and the quantity of
reports supplied result in increased burden hours.
