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

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: 2017–2020 National
Survey on Drug Use and Health:
Methodological Field Tests (OMB No.
0930–0290)—Extension
The National Survey on Drug Use and
Health (NSDUH) is a survey of the U.S.
civilian, non-institutionalized
population aged 12 years old or 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, the Office of
National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP),
federal government agencies, and other
organizations and researchers to
PO 00000
Frm 00068
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
establish policy, direct program
activities, and better allocate resources.
Methodological tests will continue to
be designed to examine the feasibility,
quality, and efficiency of new
procedures or revisions to existing
survey protocol. Specifically, the tests
will measure the reliability and validity
of certain questionnaire sections and
items through multiple measurements
on a set of respondents; assess new
methods for gaining cooperation and
participation of respondents with the
goal of increasing response and
decreasing potential bias in the survey
estimates; and assess the impact of new
sampling techniques and technologies
on respondent behavior and reporting.
Research will involve focus groups,
cognitive laboratory testing, customer
satisfaction surveys, and field tests.
These methodological tests will
continue to examine ways to increase
data quality, lower operating costs, and
gain a better understanding of sources
and effects of nonsampling error on
NSDUH estimates. Particular attention
will be given to minimizing the impact
of design changes so survey data
continue to remain comparable over
time. If these tests provide successful
results, current procedures or data
collection instruments may be revised.
The number of respondents to be
included in each field test will vary,
E:\FR\FM\22DEN1.SGM
22DEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 246 / Thursday, December 22, 2016 / Notices
depending on the nature of the subject
being tested and the target population.
However, the total estimated response
burden is 8,225 hours. The exact
number of subjects and burden hours for
each test are unknown at this time, but
will be clearly outlined in each
individual submission. These estimated
burden hours are distributed over three
years as follows:

(the ‘‘Stafford Act’’), as follows:
I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania resulting from severe storms
and flooding during the period of October
20–21, 2016, is of sufficient severity and
magnitude to warrant a major disaster
declaration under the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance
Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the ‘‘Stafford
Act’’). Therefore, I declare that such a major
disaster exists in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.
In order to provide Federal assistance, you
are hereby authorized to allocate from funds
available for these purposes such amounts as
you find necessary for Federal disaster
assistance and administrative expenses.
You are authorized to provide Public
Assistance in the designated areas and
Hazard Mitigation throughout the
Commonwealth. Consistent with the
requirement that Federal assistance be
supplemental, any Federal funds provided
under the Stafford Act for Hazard Mitigation
will be limited to 75 percent of the total
eligible costs. Federal funds provided under
the Stafford Act for Public Assistance also
will be limited to 75 percent of the total
eligible costs, with the exception of projects
that meet the eligibility criteria for a higher
Federal cost-sharing percentage under the
Public Assistance Alternative Procedures
Pilot Program for Debris Removal
implemented pursuant to section 428 of the
Stafford Act.
Further, you are authorized to make
changes to this declaration for the approved
assistance to the extent allowable under the
Stafford Act.
The Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice that
pursuant to the authority vested in the
Administrator, under Executive Order
12148, as amended, Steven S. Ward, of
