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
