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 11,754
burden hours in the OMB inventory. SAMHSA is now requesting 12,417
hours. The net increase of 663 hours is due to a 40 hour decrease
for BHSIS adjustments and a 703 hour increase 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).
