SAMHSA administers two block grant programs: the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Block Grant Program and the Community Mental Health Services (CMHS) Block Grant Program, both of which are authorized by Title XIX of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act. Section 1945(e) of the PHS Act provides a State the opportunity for a hearing on certain noncompliance issues relating to the block grants prior to the Secretary taking final action against the State. To the extent that the hearing procedures contained in 45 CFR part 96, subpart E, 42 CFR part 50, subpart D, or 45 CFR part 16 do not apply to the noncompliance issue raised, the guidelines established below for hearings will apply to assist in providing a prompt and orderly hearing. When these procedures are applicable, the State will be provided a copy of the procedures with the notice of noncompliance. These procedures are currently effective. However, we are inviting comments from the public on the procedures and such comments are to be sent to the information contact person identified immediately below within 60 days from the date of this publication. Comments received will be carefully considered and may cause the procedures to be revised.
