        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Sections 1911 through 1956 of the Public Health Service Act authorize the Community Mental Health Services (CMHS) Block Grant and the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Block Grant.  Regulations establishing the criteria that the Secretary would use in approving applications for the CMHS Block Grant have never been issued.   Regulations establishing the criteria for the SAPT Block Grant, except for implementation of section 1926 related to tobacco, were issued on March 31, 1993, in compliance with section 1932(d).  The regulations with regard to section 1926 were issued on January 19, 1996.  The rule will establish criteria for approving applications for the CMHS Block Grant for the first time, and update the regulations for the SAPT to reflect changes in statute and our experience over the past seventeen years.  The regulations will emphasize consistent and effective planning, reporting and expenditure of obligations, and helping States build and maintain more effective behavioral health systems for prevention and treatment, services and recovery supports.]]></ABSTRACT>
