OFFICE OF NATIONAL DRUG CONTROL POLICY


Executive Office of the President; Paperwork Reduction Act; 
Notice of Proposed Information Collection; Comment Request

AGENCY: Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP).

ACTION: Submission for OMB review; Comment request.

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

SUMMARY: The ONDCP has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for clearance the following proposal for proposes to collect 
information to test the awareness, attitudes and willingness of adults 
18 years and older to participate in community anti-drug coalitions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign is a component within 
the ONDCP that is partnering with the Advertising Council to create a 
public service campaign that will generate awareness and involvement in 
local community anti-drug coalitions that mobilize communities to 
engage in drug prevention measures. To assist the development of the 
public service campaign, ONDCP proposes to obtain information to sample 
the awareness, attitudes and willingness of adults 18 years of age and 
older in order to participate in community anti-drug coalitions. The 
information will be used to establish a baseline for measuring changes 
in attitudes and awareness as a result of the public service campaign, 
and provide data for formative and qualitative evaluation activities. 
It will assess the public's exposure to and recall of advertising 
(within a donated media model), and measure change in attitudes about 
drug prevention and community anti-drug coalitions.

II. Special Issues for Comment

    The agency has particular interest in comments on the following 
issues:
    Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether 
the information will have practical utility; the accuracy of the 
agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information; methods to enhance quality, utility and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and, the means to minimize the burden of 
the collection of information on respondents, including the use of 
automated collection techniques.

III. For Additional Information

    To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a 
copy of the information collection plans, please contact Terry Zobeck 
at (202) 395-5503. Written comments and recommendations for the

publication of this notice to Lauren Wittenberg, OMB Desk Officer, Room 
10235, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.
