Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
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 to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Proposed Project: National
Methamphetamine Use Prevention
Initiative—NEW
Prevention of Methamphetamine
Abuse grants are authorized under
section 519E of the Public Health
Service Act, as amended. This program
addresses the growing problem of
methamphetamine abuse and addiction
by assisting localities to expand
prevention interventions that are
effective and evidence-based and/or to
increase capacity through infrastructure
development. According to the 2005
National Survey on Drug Use and
Health, 10.4 million Americans age 12
and older had tried methamphetamine
at least once in their lifetime. In
addition, the number of
methamphetamine users who were
dependent on or abused some kind of
illicit drug rose significantly from
164,000 in 2002 to 257,000 in 2005. The
goal of the Methamphetamine Abuse
Prevention grants is to intervene
effectively to prevent, reduce, or delay
the use and/or spread of
methamphetamine abuse.

Proposed Methamphetamine
Prevention and Abuse grants will focus
on conducting community-based
prevention programs targeting those
populations within the community that
are most at risk for methamphetamine
abuse and addiction. In addition, grants
may be used for assisting local
government entities to conduct
appropriate methamphetamine
prevention activities in rural and urban
areas that are experiencing increases in
methamphetamine abuse and addiction.
This can be documented by local and
specific epidemiological, health service
use, judicial and/or environmental data.
Activities may include: training and
educating state and local law
enforcement officials, prevention and
education officials, members of
community anti-drug coalitions, and
parents on the signs of
methamphetamine abuse and addiction
and the options for prevention;
planning, administration, and
educational activities related to the
prevention of methamphetamine abuse
and addiction; monitoring and
evaluating of methamphetamine
prevention activities, and reporting and
disseminating resulting information to
the public; or conducting and evaluating
targeted pilot programs.
The grantees will be collecting data
on Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) No. 0930–0230 approved
National Outcomes Measures (NOMs)
and program specific questions on
youth and adult methamphetamine use.
There are two questionnaire forms: one
for adults ages 18 and older and another
for youths under the age of 18. The
adult and youth questionnaires contain
40 and 42 questions, respectively, with
the first 12 questions covering the OMB
approved NOMs questions. The focus
areas for the adult questionnaires
comprise attitudes toward tobacco,
alcohol, and other substances; attitudes
and experiences; family relationships,
relationships with those around you;
future goals; thoughts, beliefs, and
experiences related to
methamphetamines; and thoughts on
possible effects of methamphetamine
use. The youth survey focus areas
include: general information; attitudes
toward tobacco, alcohol, and other
substances; attitudes and experiences;
family relationships; school
experiences; perceived probability to try
substances; where they receive
substance abuse information; thoughts,
beliefs, and experiences relating to
methamphetamine; effects of
methamphetamine use; and how
comfortable they were with answering
the survey questions. Additional non-
