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: 2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (OMB No. 
0930-0110)--Revision

    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 establish policy, direct program 
activities, and better allocate resources.
    While NSDUH must be updated periodically to reflect changing 
substance use and mental health issues and to continue producing 
current data, for the 2018 NSDUH only the following minor changes are 
planned: (1) At the request of ONDCP, re-inserted the marijuana 
marketplace module, previously included in the 2014 NSDUH (as well as 
prior years), into the respondent-administered portion of the 2018 
questionnaire; (2) the addition of four new questions, asked only of 
respondents age 18 and older, about the perception of problems with and 
recovery from drug/alcohol and mental health problems; and (3) included 
other minor wording changes to improve the flow of the interview, 
increase respondent comprehension or to be consistent with text in 
other questions.
    The marijuana marketplace module consists of a series of questions 
that seek to gather data such as the location, quantity, cost and type 
of marijuana being purchased across the nation. This module is 
unchanged from the version last included in the 2014 NSDUH. As with all 
NSDUH/NHSDA surveys conducted since 1999, the sample size of the survey 
for 2018 will be sufficient to permit prevalence estimates for each of 
the fifty states and the District of Columbia. Prior to 2002, the NSDUH 
was referred to as the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA).
    The total annual burden estimate is shown below.
