OFFICE OF NATIONAL DRUG
CONTROL POLICY
Paperwork Reduction Act; Notice of
Intent To Collect; Comment Request;
Summary of Comments
AGENCY: Office of National Drug Control
Policy (ONDCP).
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
SUMMARY: ONDCP invites comments on
a collection of information.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
directly to the Desk Officer for the
ONDCP, Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, OMB by fax at (202)
395–6566, or by electronic mail at
oira_docket@omb.eop.gov.
During the
first comment period, ONDCP received
the following from the Marijuana Policy
Project (MPP) concerning the National
Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign
(hereafter NYADMC or ‘‘Campaign’’).
1. Data on which NYADMC is
evaluated is unreliable; and researchers
find self-report measures largely
suspect.
2. Return to the Westat Analysis
Methodology.
3. ONDCP should employ automated
collection techniques to broaden the
range of comments and reaction to
proposed advertising campaigns; and
consider the use of informal
methodologies for measuring the
success of the campaign.
4. The ONDCP NYADMC’s nearexclusive focus on marijuana is
premised on a fallacious conclusion of
cause-and-effect (The ‘‘Gateway
Theory’’).
ONDCP responds in turn to each of
the four comments.
1. The collection of information is not
designed to measure the effectiveness of
the overall Campaign. The collection of
information is intended only as part of
the advertisement development process.
This process is conducted by industryleading third-party vendors. Moreover,
the Institutional Review Board reviewed
the process to ensure it satisfies
scientific, ethical, and Federal
regulatory requirements.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

2. ONDCP will continue to measure
the overall effectiveness of the
Campaign using an independent
contractor. Westat is eligible to submit
a proposal on the award of the
impending solicitation. However,
ONDCP may not solicit a proposal
solely from Westat.
3. ONDCP agrees that automated
collection techniques can cultivate new
ideas, gauge reactions and quickly spot
potential problems. Consequently, the
Campaign’s current Web sites prompt
reactions to Campaign advertising, and
encourage suggestions for improvement.
Similarly, the data collection
instruments under consideration here
solicit open-ended feedback to
advertising executions from members of
the target audience.
4. The Campaign dispels the mistaken
belief that teen substance abuse has no
negative consequences, and conveys the
fact that marijuana is a serious drug.
Marijuana continues to be the illicit
substance most widely abused by our
nation’s youth, and such abuse has
adverse health, safety, social, academic,
economic and behavioral consequences.
Based on the comments received,
ONDCP intends to proceed with its
collection of information as initially
proposed.
