Comments are invited on: (a) whether the proposed collection of
information is 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,

Proposed Project: State Prevention Needs Assessments: Alcohol and
Other Drugs--New--SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP)
has awarded contracts to several States to assess the nature and extent
of substance abuse prevention services needs. The information collected
in this project will be combined with existing sources and may use
multiple approaches to assess risk and protective factors for substance
use, prevention service needs, and substance abuse prevalence. These
needs assessment studies will permit some cross-State comparisons of
predictor variables to assist Federal program planning, allocating
resources, and responding to GPRA. The estimated annualized burden for
the three-year project is shown below.
