OFFICE OF NATIONAL DRUG CONTROL POLICY


Paperwork Reduction Act; Notice of Intent to Collect; Comment 
Request

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

ACTION: ONDCP provides opportunity for public comment concerning the 
collection of information for its 25 Cities initiative.

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes a continuation of ONDCP's collection of 
drug control information from Federal, State, and local governments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    ONDCP previously collected information to establish a baseline of 
Federal, State, and local drug control funding levels in the 25 largest 
metropolitan areas. The proposed continuation of this data collection 
will help ONDCP measure spending level changes, coordinate services, 
and develop National Drug Control Strategies.
    The 25 Cities project identifies in each affected city significant 
movements in key drug use measures, and encourages city administrators 
to use proven programs that increase efficiencies and effectiveness; 
promote coordination and collaboration; develop commitments; and, 
gather accurate performance measurement data. Detailed information 
regarding the project is available at www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov.
    Type of Collection: Reinstatement with change of an approved data 
collection that expired.
    Title of Information Collection: Survey of drug treatment, drug use 
prevention, and law enforcement resources available to cities 
identified in ONDCP's 25 Cities project.
    Frequency: Annually by fiscal year.
    Affected Public: Instrumentalities of State, local, and tribal 
governments.
    Estimated Burden: Minimal since providers maintain the data for 
other purposes.

II. Special Issues for Comment

    ONDCP especially invites comments on: (a) Whether the proposed 
collection is necessary for the proper performance of ONDCP functions, 
including whether the information has practical utility; (b) ways to 
enhance information quality, utility, and clarity; and (c) ways to ease 
the burden on respondents, including the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology.

Zobeck, Deputy Associate Director, Office of Planning and Budget.
