ONDCP provides opportunity for public comment concerning the collection of information to identify the ( printed page 72771) Federal, State, and local resources assigned to drug control programs in our nation's largest cities.

SUMMARY:

This action proposes the collection of drug control information from federal, state, and local governments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

ONDCP previously collected information to establish a baseline of federal, state, and local drug control funding levels in the nation's largest metropolitan areas. The collection of this data will help ONDCP measure spending level changes, coordinate services, and develop National Drug Control Strategies.

The project identifies in each affected city significant movements in key drug use measures, and encourages city administrators to use proven programs that increase efficiencies and effectiveness; promote coordination and collaboration; develop commitments; and, gather accurate performance measurement data.

Type of Collection: Reinstatement with change of an approved data collection that expired.

Title of Information Collection: Survey of drug treatment, drug use prevention, and law enforcement resources available to cities.

Frequency: Annually by fiscal year.

Affected Public: Instrumentalities of State, local, and tribal governments.

Estimated Burden: Minimal since providers maintain the data for other purposes.
