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.
