DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
In compliance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 concerning opportunity for public comment on proposed
collections of information, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA) will publish periodic summaries of
proposed projects. To request more information on the proposed projects
or to obtain a copy of the information collection plans, call the
SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer at (240) 276-0361.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collections of
information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology.
Proposed Project: Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) (OMB No. 0930-
0335)--Extension
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) is requesting an extension to collect the Treatment Episode
Data Set (TEDS) data collection (OMB No. 0930-0335), which expires on
April 30, 2022. TEDS is a compilation of client-level substance use
treatment admission and discharge data submitted by states on clients
treated in facilities that receive state funds. SAMHSA is also
requesting an extension to collect the client-level mental health
admission and update/discharge data (MH-TEDS/MH-CLD) submitted by
states on clients treated in facilities that receive state funds (also
OMB No. 0930-0335).
TEDS/MH-TEDS/MH-CLD data are collected to obtain information on the
number of admissions and updates/discharges at publicly funded
substance use treatment and mental health services facilities and on
the characteristics of clients receiving services at those facilities.
TEDS/MH-TEDS/MH-CLD also monitor trends in the demographic,
substance use, and mental health characteristics of admissions. In
addition, several of the data elements used to calculate performance
measures for the Substance Abuse Block Grant (SABG) and Mental Health
Block Grant (MHBG) applications are collected through the TEDS/MH-TEDS/
MH-CLD.
Most states collect the TEDS/MH-TEDS/MH-CLD data elements from
their treatment providers for their own administrative purposes and are
able to submit a cross-walked extract of their data to TEDS/MH-TEDS/MH-
CLD. No changes are expected in the TEDS/MH-TEDS/MH-CLD data elements
that are collected.
Estimated annual burden for the separate TEDS/MH-TEDS/MH-CLD
activities is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of
respondents Responses per Total Hours per Total burden
Type of activity (states/ respondent responses response hours
jurisdictions)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
