Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Community MH Services BG (MHBG) Application Guidance and Instructions FY 2022-2023
No Material or Nonsubstantive Change Justification
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is requesting a no material or nonsubstantive change approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for changes to the approved data collection - Community MH Services BG (MHBG) Application Guidance and Instructions FY 2022-2023 (OMB No. 0930-0168, Exp. Date:03/31/2025). The intent of these changes is to collect information regarding state mental health authority (SMHA) expenditure of available Safer Communities Act funding. Due to the urgency and short time frames associated with Safer Communities Act funding awarding and expenditure, SAMHSA does not have sufficient time to follow the normal notice and comment periods related to the normal OMB approval process. These changes will affect both years FY2022 and FY2023
The purpose of making changes to this information is for SAMHSA to collect information on states’ expenditure planning and accounting of Safer Communities Act funding in accordance with Section 1942(a) of Title XIX, Part B, Subpart III which requires the state to submit an application that, among other things, addresses the state’s planned use of state and federal funds. The proposed change to this information collection is intended to ensure that the state carried out its obligations as stipulated in the authorizing legislation applicable to the MHBG and additional Safer Communities Act related funding. This information will also be made available through congressional reporting. States are being asked to provide additional information that mirrors the expenditure planning and reporting found in the currently approved information collection. SAMHSA is proposing changes that would incorporate new columns that specifically address expenditure of Safer Communities Act funding to the State Agency Planned Expenditures Plan Table 2 in the Source of Funds section and Plan Table 6 in the Non-Direct-Services/System Development section. These additional columns are as follows:
K. Safer Communities Act (MHBG)-Table 2 (FY22 & FY23)
G. Safer Communities Act-Table 6 (FY22 & FY23)
