[FR Doc. 07–3779 Filed 8–2–07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4140–01–M DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration Agency Information Collection Activities Under Emergency Review by the Office of Management and Budget The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has submitted the following request (see below) for emergency OMB review under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). OMB approval has been requested by October 12, 2007. A copy of the information collection plans may be obtained by calling the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276–1243. Title: 2008 National Survey on Drug Use and Health—(OMB No. 0930–0110). OMB Number: 0930–0110. Frequency: Annual. PO 00000 Frm 00068 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 43289 Affected Public: Individuals or Households. The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), formerly the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA), is a survey of the civilian, non-institutionalized population of the United States 12 years old and 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, ONDCP, Federal government agencies, and other organizations and researchers to establish policy, direct program activities, and better allocate resources. This Federal Register notice is revised to reflect additional information that will be collected for the 2008 NSDUH. At the request of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), additional questions are being developed to measure marijuana consumption in the general population. This information could be useful in evaluating drug control programs, as discussed in ‘‘Informing America’s Policy on Illegal Drugs: What We Don’t Know Keeps Hurting Us,’’ a report by the National Research Council. Since the first Federal Register notice (published on May 3, 2007), a condensed version of the 16-item World Health Organization Disability Assessment Scale (WHO–DAS) has also been proposed for the Mental Health Module. A series of analyses was performed which examined the measurement properties of the 16-item scale with the goal of reducing the scale to a condensed version. [Item Response Analyses of the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS), SAMHSA, 2007 (unpublished)] These analyses resulted in an 8-item scale which captures the information represented in the full scale. The questions for recruiting respondents for the follow-up clinical interview have also been revised to include a request for the respondent’s e-mail address. The Notice that was published on May 3, 2007 included the following information for the 2008 NSDUH. Additional questions are being planned regarding suicide ideation and impairment from mental health issues. An embedded split-sample study is being planned to determine which one of two mental health disability scales to include in future NSDUH survey years. The two disability scales will be evaluated by using the SCID–I/NP as a follow-up interview with a subsample of respondents. Other questionnaire changes include deletion of questions about Hurricanes E:\FR\FM\03AUN1.SGM 03AUN1
