VI. Collection of Information

Requirements

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act

of 1995, we are required to provide 60-

day notice in the Federal Register and

solicit public comment before a

collection of information requirement is

submitted to the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) for review and

approval. In order to fairly evaluate

whether an information collection

requirement should be approved by

OMB, Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

requires that we solicit comment on the

following issues:

• The need for the information

collection and its usefulness in carrying

out the proper functions of our agency.

• The accuracy of our estimate of the

information collection burden.

• The quality, utility, and clarity of

the information to be collected.

• Recommendations to minimize the

information to be collected.

The information collection

requirement and the burden associated

with requiring a Medicare or Medicaid

participating hospital to have an

agreement with the OPO designated for

its area or to submit a waiver request to

HCFA for approval to have an

agreement with an OPO other than the

OPO designated for its service area

approval number 0938–0688 (HCFA–R–

13), with an expiration date of

November 30, 1997.

Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1320b–8).

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

National Institutes of Health

Consensus Development Conference

on Effective Medical Treatment of

Heroin Addiction

Notice is hereby given of the NIH

Consensus Development Conference on

‘‘Effective Medical Treatment of Heroin

Addiction,’’ which will be held

November 17–19, 1997, in the Natcher

Conference Center of the National

Institutes of Health, 9000 Rockville

Pike, Bethesda, Maryland 20892. The

conference begins at 8:30 a.m. on

November 17, at 8:30 a.m. on November

18, and at 9 a.m. on November 19.

In the United States alone,

approximately one-half million people

are addicted to heroin. Estimates of

heroin incidence (122,000 new users) in

recent years suggest an increased

incidence and an emerging pattern of

drug use among the young. For many

years, heroin addiction has been

associated with increased criminal

activity and human suffering. In the past

10 years, there has been a dramatic

increase in the prevalence of human

immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis

C virus (HCV), and tuberculosis among

intravenous heroin users. From 1991 to

1995 in major metropolitan areas, the

annual number of heroin-related

emergency room visits has increased

from 36,000 to 76,000, and the annual

number of heroin-related deaths has

increased from 2,300 to 4,000. The

associated morbidity and mortality

further underscore the human,

economic, and societal cost of heroin

addiction.

Over the last 20 years, a significant

body of evidence has accumulated on

the neurobiology of heroin addiction

and on the safety and efficacy of

narcotic (methadone) maintenance

treatment.

Although there have been other

medications (e.g., levo-alpha

acetylmethadol [LAAM]) subsequently

determined safe and effective in

narcotic maintenance treatment, the

focus of this consensus development

conference will be on methadone,

because methadone has been the

medication used in most narcotic

treatment research. Evaluation studies

have consistently shown methadone

treatment to be effective in reducing

drug use and crime and in enhancing

social productivity. More recent studies

demonstrate that methadone treatment

is an effective method for preventing the

spread of HIV, HCV, and tuberculosis

among intravenous drug users.

Most heroin users are not receiving

treatment. Most recent data indicate that

there are approximately 112,000

patients in narcotic maintenance

treatment. Barriers exist to both access

to narcotic maintenance treatment and

effective treatment, despite the science

on the neurobiology of heroin addiction

and the evidence demonstrating the

effectiveness of treatment in reducing

drug use and crime and preventing the

spread of HIV and HCV. An important

reason for some of these barriers is that

narcotic maintenance treatment remains

controversial. The science has not yet

overcome the stigma of addiction and

public perception about narcotic

maintenance treatment.

Many members of the medical

community and the public conceive of

opiate addiction as a self-inflicted

disease of the will, methadone treatment

as mere narcotic substitution and

relapses likely to follow treatment, drugfree treatment as the only valid

rehabilitative method, and total

abstinence from all drugs, including

methadone, as the only valid treatment

goal. Other obstacles include Federal

and state government regulations

limiting treatment providers and patient

access and concerns about methadone

diversion by patients and its

consequences.

To address the most important and

controversial issues surrounding

narcotic maintenance treatment, the

NIH has organized this 21⁄2 day

conference to present the available data

on opiate agonist treatment for heroin

addiction. The conference will bring

together national and international

experts in the fields of basic and clinical

neuroscience, epidemiology, and

natural history, prevention and

treatment of heroin addiction, as well as

representatives from the public.

After 11⁄2 days of presentations and

audience discussion, an independent,

non-Federal consensus panel chaired by

Dr. Lewis Judd, chair of the Department
