Sec. 8.5  Periodic evaluation of accreditation bodies.

    SAMHSA will evaluate periodically the performance of accreditation 
bodies primarily by inspecting a selected sample of the OTPs accredited 
by the accrediting body and by evaluating the accreditation body's 
reports of surveys conducted, to determine whether the OTPs surveyed and 
accredited by the accreditation body are in compliance with the Federal 
opioid treatment standards. The evaluation will include a determination 
of whether there are major deficiencies in the accreditation body's 
performance that, if not corrected, would warrant withdrawal of the 
approval of the accreditation body under Sec. 8.6.
