In compliance with section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 concerning opportunity for public comment on proposed
collections of information, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA) will publish periodic summaries of
proposed projects. To request more information on the proposed projects
or to obtain a copy of the information collection plans, call the
SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collections of
information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and, (d) ways

Proposed Project: 2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (OMB No.
0930-0110)--Extension
The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) is a survey of
the U.S. civilian, non-institutionalized population aged 12 years old
or older. The data are used to determine the prevalence of use of
tobacco products, alcohol, illicit substances, and illicit use of
prescription drugs. The results are used by SAMHSA, the Office of
National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), federal government agencies, and
other organizations and researchers to establish policy, to direct
program activities, and to better allocate resources.
This is an extension to the 2019 National Survey on Drug Use and
Health (NSDUH). There are no substantive changes to the questionnaire
or changes in burden. The 2019 NSDUH will continue to include questions
on medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and kratom.
As with all NSDUH surveys conducted since 1999, including those
prior to 2002 when the NSDUH was referred to as the National Household
Survey on Drug Abuse, the sample size of the survey for 2019 will be
sufficient to permit prevalence estimates for each of the 50 states and
the District of Columbia. The total annual burden estimate is shown
below in Table 1.
