Overview of This Information Collection (1) Type of Information Collection: Extension with Change of a previously approved collection. (2) Title of the Form/Collection: SENTRY Early Warning and Response System. (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: Form Number: NDIC Form # N/A. (4) The 2004 National Synthetic Drugs Action Plan designated NDIC the lead agency for developing an early warning and response system. This instrument is critical for NDIC to detect emerging drug abuse and production trends and thereafter notify law enforcement demand authorities and prepared associated reports. From February 2009 until March 2010, the SENTRY Synthetic Drug Early Warning System was available only to specifically targeted groups including chemists; education providers (teachers, administrators, school resource officers, or school nurses); law enforcement personnel; treatment providers (physicians specializing in drug abuse issues); medical service personnel (physicians, nurses, emergency medical technicians, medical examiners); and other specific groups such as drug intelligence analysts. At this juncture, the National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC) has determined that some SENTRY information may be of interest to members of the general public. As of June 2010, all SENTRY DrugAlert Watches, DrugAlert Warnings, and News and Bulletins have been made accessible to the general public via the NDIC public facing Web site. Additionally, NDIC will make the SENTRY Geographical Information System Map accessible to the general public, with a truncated Information Drop that includes: color-coded substance categories, submission/event details and outcomes (if known), and a general geographical locality of the submission/event. (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: It is estimated that approximately 300 respondents will submit a tip requiring approximately 15 minutes. Use of the system is expected to increase significantly. (6) As estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection: There is an estimated 75 total VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:51 Aug 13, 2010 Jkt 220001 annual burden hours associated with this collection.
