The fifth paragraph of Section III–C– 1 will be amended to add ‘‘if required’’ at the end of the statement regarding IBC approval in order to recognize that some trials will not need IBC review. In addition, a new final paragraph outlining the exemption will be added. The new proposed language is as follows: tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES For a clinical trial site that is added after the RAC review process, no research participant shall be enrolled (see definition of enrollment in Section I–E–7) at the clinical trial site until the following documentation has been submitted to the NIH OBA: (1) Institutional Biosafety Committee approval (from the clinical trial site), if required; (2) Institutional Review Board approval; (3) Institutional Review Board-approved informed consent document; (4) curriculum vitae of the Principal Investigator(s) (no more than two pages in biographical sketch format); and (5) NIH grant number(s) if applicable. Institutional Biosafety Committee review and approval will not be required for gene transfer protocols that meet all of the following criteria: (1) A previous clinical trial using this investigational gene transfer agent (vector and transgene) enrolled more than one subject and was reviewed by an Institutional IBC and is now complete. (2) The investigational gene transfer agent uses a plasmid or viral vector derived from a virus listed in Appendix B–V–2 that is: (a) Not designed to integrate, and (b) attenuated compared to the wild-type virus or is not known to have ever caused disease in humans. (3) The previous clinical trial: a. Was conducted in the same country as the proposed trial; b. Enrolled a comparable population in terms of age (i.e. adult and/or pediatric); and c. Tested a dose equal to or less than the dose proposed for the new trial, using the same administration route and, if concomitant interventions (e.g. radiation and/or chemotherapy) are proposed, they have been used in a prior trial with the same agent. Appendix M–I–C–1 currently states: Appendix M–I–C–1: Initiation of the Clinical Investigation No later than 20 working days after enrollment (see definition of enrollment in Section I–E–7) of the first research participant in a human gene transfer VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:13 May 10, 2013 Jkt 229001 experiment, the Principal Investigator(s) shall submit the following documentation to NIH OBA: (1) A copy of the informed consent document approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB); (2) a copy of the protocol approved by the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) and IRB; (3) a copy of the final IBC approval from the clinical trial site; (4) a copy of the final IRB approval; (5) a brief written report that includes the following information: (a) How the investigator(s) responded to each of the RAC’s recommendations on the protocol (if applicable); and (b) any modifications to the protocol as required by FDA; (6) applicable NIH grant number(s); (7) the FDA Investigational New Drug Application (IND) number; and (8) the date of the initiation of the trial.

The purpose of requesting the FDA IND number is for facilitating interagency collaboration in the federal oversight of human gene transfer research. Appendix M–I–C–2 will likewise be revised to recognize that not all clinical trials will require IBC review.

To achieve these goals, a Questionnaire Field Test (QFT) was conducted in late 2012 to test revisions to the questionnaire, study materials, and procedures. A Dress Rehearsal (DR) is planned for September and October 2013 to further refine and test changes implemented in the QFT as well as test all additional changes that have been identified for the 2015 redesign. These additional changes include an assessment of a new lightweight laptop used to administer the questionnaire, the addition of a Spanish language interview that was not included in the QFT to control costs, and additional select changes to the NSDUH questionnaire. The vast majority of differences in questionnaire content between the QFT and the proposed DR are minor. Changes include: (a) The addition of two sexual orientation questions to be asked of adults; (b) routine updates to routing and logic; (c) minimal changes to question wording throughout the instrument to clarify intent; and (d) the deletion of a question in the Back-end Demographics module about the number of employees who work at the respondent’s business.

The provisions apply to the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant (SABG), to the Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) formula grant program, and to certain Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) discretionary grant programs (programs that pay for substance abuse treatment and prevention services, not for certain infrastructure and technical assistance activities). Every effort has been made to assure that the reporting, recordkeeping and disclosure requirements of the proposed regulations allow maximum flexibility in implementation and impose minimum burden. No changes are being made to the regulations or the burden hours.

Project: 2013 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) Dress 
Rehearsal (OMB No. 0930-0334)--Revision

    The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) 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.
    In order to continue producing current data, SAMHSA's Center for 
Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality (CBHSQ) must update the NSDUH 
periodically to reflect changing substance abuse and mental health 
issues. CBHSQ is in the process of redesigning the NSDUH for the 2015 
survey year. The goals of the overall redesign are to: (1) Revise the 
questionnaire to address changing policy and research data needs, and 
(2) modify the survey methodology to improve the quality of estimates 
and the efficiency of data collection and processing. To achieve these 
goals, a Questionnaire Field Test (QFT) was conducted in late 2012 to 
test revisions to the questionnaire, study materials, and procedures. A 
Dress Rehearsal (DR) is planned for September and October 2013 to 
further refine and test changes implemented in the QFT as well as test 
all additional changes that have been identified for the 2015 redesign. 
These additional changes include an assessment of a new lightweight 
laptop used to administer the questionnaire, the addition of a Spanish 
language interview that was not included in the QFT to control costs, 
and additional select changes to the NSDUH questionnaire. The vast 
majority of differences in questionnaire content between the QFT and 
the proposed DR are minor. Changes include: (a) The addition of two 
sexual orientation questions to be asked of adults; (b) routine updates 
to routing and logic; (c) minimal changes to question wording 
throughout the instrument to clarify intent; and (d) the deletion of a 
question in the Back-end Demographics module about the number of 
employees who work at the respondent's business.
    The DR will consist of 2,000 English and Spanish-speaking 
respondents in the continental United States. The sample size of the 
survey will be large enough to detect differences in key estimates 
between data collected using the annual NSDUH compared to the
