Proposed Project: Opioid Drugs in Maintenance and Detoxification Treatment of Opioid Dependence42
CFR Part 8 OMB No. 09300206 and Opioid Treatment Programs OTPs Extension 42 CFR part 8 establishes a certification program managed by SAMHSAs Center for Substance Abuse Treatment CSAT. The regulation requires that Opioid Treatment Programs OTPs be certified.
Certification is the process by which SAMHSA determines that an OTP is qualified to provide opioid treatment under the Federal opioid treatment standards established by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. To become certified, an OTP must be accredited by a SAMHSA-approved accreditation body. The regulation also provides standards for such services as individualized treatment planning, increased medical supervision, and assessment of patient outcomes. This submission seeks continued approval of the information collection requirements in the regulation and of the forms used in implementing the regulation.
SAMHSA currently has approval for the Application for Certification to Use Opioid Drugs in a Treatment Program Under 42 CFR 8.11 Form SMA162;
the Application for Approval as Accreditation Body Under 42 CFR 8.3b Form SMA163; and the Exception Request and Record of Justification Under 42 CFR 8.12 Form SMA168, Number of respondents

which may be used on a voluntary basis by physicians when there is a patient care situation in which the physician must make a treatment decision that differs from the treatment regimen required by the regulation. Form SMA
168 is a simplified, standardized form to facilitate the documentation, request, and approval process for exceptions.
SAMHSA believes that the recordkeeping requirements in the regulation are customary and usual practices within the medical and rehabilitative communities and has not calculated a response burden for them.
The recordkeeping requirements set forth in 42 CFR 8.4, 8.11 and 8.12
include maintenance of the following: 5year retention by accreditation bodies of certain records pertaining to accreditation; documentation by an OTP
of the following: A patients medical examination when admitted to treatment, A patients history, a treatment plan, any prenatal support provided the patient, justification of unusually large initial doses, changes in a patients dosage schedule, justification of unusually large daily doses, the rationale for decreasing a patients clinic attendance, and documentation of physiologic dependence.
The tables that follows summarizes the annual reporting burden associated with the regulation, including burden associated with the forms. There are no changes being made to the forms.
