AGENCY: Executive Office of the President, Office of National Drug 
Control Policy.

ACTION: The Drug Control Research, Data, and Evaluation Committee 
(DCRDEC); Notice of establishment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, the 
Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy has established 
the Drug Control Research, Data, and Evaluation Committee (DCRDEC).
     The Committee shall provide an avenue of communications by which a 
distinguished expert group representing scientific, engineering, law 
enforcement, treatment, and associated international scientific 
communities may advise the Director of the Office of National Drug 
Control Policy (ONDCP) on questions related to national drug control 
research. In pursuing this objective, the DCRDEC may operate in 
subgroups composed of selected committee members to conduct detailed 
examinations of specific issues related to national drug control policy 
research.
     The Committee will identify gaps in current data collection to 
improve the generation of accurate and useful information on which to 
base national drug control policy. It will function solely as an 
advisory body and in compliance with the provisions of the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act. Its charter will be filed under the Act fifteen 
(15) days from the date of this publication.
     The Committee will be comprised of approximately fourteen members. 
The full DCRDEC subgroup will meet approximately twice per year in 
plenary sessions at the convenience of the Director of the ONDCP. In 
addition, various sub-committees meet periodically throughout the year.

Drug Control Research, Data, and Evaluation Committee (DCRDEC) should
