Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institute on Alcohol 
Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), National Institutes of Health (NIH) has

were no requests for additional information about this data collection 
activity, no public comments were received. The purpose of this notice 
is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment.
    The NIH may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not 
required to respond to, an information collection that has been 
extended, revised, or implemented on or after June 30, 1999, unless it
