Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
In compliance with section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 concerning
opportunity for public comment on
proposed collections of information, the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA)
will publish periodic summaries of
proposed projects. To request more
information on the proposed projects or
to obtain a copy of the information
collection plans, call the SAMHSA
Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276–
1243.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collections of information
are necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Proposed Project: 2008–2010 National
Survey on Drug Use and Health:
Methodological Field Tests—NEW
The National Survey on Drug Use and
Health (NSDUH), formerly the National
Household Survey on Drug Abuse
(NHSDA), is a survey of the civilian,
non-institutionalized population of the
United States 12 years old and older.
The data are used to determine the
prevalence of use of tobacco products,
alcohol, illicit substances, and illicit use
of prescription drugs. The results are
used by SAMHSA, ONDCP, Federal
government agencies, and other
organizations and researchers to
establish policy, direct program
activities, and better allocate resources.
This will be a request for generic
approval for information collection for
NSDUH methodological field tests
designed to examine the feasibility,
quality, and efficiency of new
procedures of revisions to the existing
survey protocol. These field tests will
examine ways to increase data quality,
lower operating costs, and gain a better
understanding of various sources of
