ACTION: Notice of new proposed information collection under review;
Survey of State Juvenile Record Keeping and Drug Testing Procedure.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Office of the Attorney General, U.S. Department of Justice, has
submitted the following new information collection request (ICR)
utilizing emergency review procedures, to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for review and clearance in accordance with sections
1320.13 (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(2)(iii) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995. The Office of the Attorney General has determined that it cannot
comply with the normal clearance procedures under this Part because
normal clearance procedures are reasonably likely to prevent the timely
collection of information to meet a Congressional request. This
information collection is published to obtain comments from the public
and affected agencies. Emergency review and approval of this
information collection is requested from OMB by January 5, 1998. If
granted, the emergency approval is only valid for 180 days. Comments
should be directed to OMB, Office of Information and Regulatory

Justice Desk Officer, Washington, DC 20530.
During the first 60 days of this same period, a regular review of
this information collection is also being undertaken. We are requesting
written comments and suggestions from the public and affected agencies
concerning this collection of information. Comments are encouraged and
will be accepted until March 2, 1998. Your

comments should address one or more of the following four points:
1. Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of
the collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and

who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
