    Proposed Project: National Household Survey on Drug Abuse--
Revision--The National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA) is a 
survey of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the Unitied 
States, age 12 and over. The data are used to estimate the prevalence 
of use of cigarette, alcohol, and illicit drug use, and abuse of licit 
drugs. The results are used by SAMHSA, ONDCP, other Federal agencies, 
and other organizations and researchers to establish policy, direct 
program activities, and better allocate resources. A 200-household 
field test of a computer assisted data collection methodology will also 
be conducted. The total annual burden estimate is 23,592 hours as shown
