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– 

0361. 

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; (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; (e) of the addition of data 

collection in the U.S. Territories; and (f) 

implications and feedback on proposing 

to change the name of the survey. 

Proposed Project: National Survey on 

Drug Use and Health (OMB No. 0930– 

0110) 

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 provide estimates 

of substance use and mental illness at 

the national, state, and substate levels. 

NSDUH data also help to identify the 

extent of substance use and mental 

illness among different subgroups, 

estimate trends over time, and 

determine the need for treatment 

services. 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. 

For the 2025 NSDUH, SAMHSA is 

proposing to change the name of the 

study to the National Household Survey 

on Behavioral Health (NHSBH) to 

emphasize the inclusion of the longstanding mental health-related survey 

elements and to clarify for key 

stakeholders the full content of the 

survey’s questions and data. The 

proposed name change will facilitate 

participant, researcher, and public 

understanding that the NSDUH is 

focused on both drug use but also 

mental health. The current name of the 

survey does not specifically capture 

questionnaire items across substance 

use and mental health, both separately 

and as co-occurring conditions. In 

addition, the name change will better 

align the survey with SAMHSA’s 

mission. 

The survey’s name is currently well 

recognized by those in the community, 

states, and academia, and this 

recognition comes from the quality of 

the information provided. The 

continuing excellence of the 

information provided is anticipated to 

re-establish the recognition of the 

survey with the new name. It is 

anticipated that changing the name of 

the survey will highlight mental health 

components. 

SAMHSA is committed to addressing 

any concerns with a name change that 

may lead to confusion and/or 

misperception among some stakeholders 

and the general public, which could 

affect participation in the survey, 

misinterpretation of changes with the 

survey’s content or purpose, or 

difficulty locating the pertinent 

information about the study’s results. 

Nonetheless, these potential stakeholder 

responses and challenges will be 

addressed by emphasizing the 

significance of a name that reflects the 

complete content of the survey. A new 

name may also facilitate discussions on 

substance use and co-occurring mental 

health disorders. 

Efforts will be made to promote, 

market, and educate about the quality 

and applicability of the results. These 

efforts may spark renewed interest in 

the survey and the uptake of the results 

in publications and reports. 

As with all NSDUH/NHSDA 1 surveys 

conducted since 1999, the sample size 

of the NSDUH main study for 2025 will 

be sufficient to permit prevalence 

estimates for each of the fifty states and 

the District of Columbia. The total 

annual burden estimate for the NSDUH 

main study is shown below in Table 1.

Exploratory Pilot Testing in the U.S. 

Territories 

SAMHSA is interested in expanding 

NSDUH data collection to include U.S. 

territories. This will involve conducting 

several pilot tests and implementing a 

phased approach before expanding data 

collection full scale into the U.S. 

Territories. The initial phase will 

explore logistical considerations in 

Puerto Rico and in the U.S. Virgin 

Islands, followed by various data 

collection pilot efforts that will assess 

the ease or difficulty with recruiting 

field staff, potential travel difficulties 

due to terrain, internet reliability, 

differences in address conventions, 

language dialect differences, and 

differences in demographic 

characteristics. The results of the pilot 

testing will provide SAMHSA with 

insights into the feasibility of 

successfully conducting full-scale data 

collection in future NSDUH surveys. 

Mental Illness Calibration Study 

In addition, the Mental Illness 

Calibration Study (MICS) will continue 

to be embedded within the NSDUH 

main study for the remainder of 2024 to 

recalibrate the estimates of serious 

mental illness (SMI) for the NSDUH 

using the Diagnostic and Statistical 

Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), fifth 

edition (DSM–5) criteria published by 

the American Psychiatric Association 

(APA). The 2023 and 2024 MICS will be 

sampled from the main study NSDUH 

using completed mental health items as 

screeners. 

During MICS data collection from 

January 2023 through December 2024, 

approximately 17,180 NSDUH adult 

main study interview respondents (aged 

18+) will be selected for a follow-up 

clinical interview at the end of the main 

study interview in order to produce a 

final sample size of at least 4,000 adult 

MICS follow-up clinical interviews 

(2,000 interviews per year). These 

follow-up clinical interviews will be 

conducted virtually via Zoom (video 

and/or phone) within four weeks 

following the NSDUH main study 

interview using the NetSCID, a 

computerized version of the Structured 

Clinical Interview for DSM–5 (SCID) 

that calculates skip logic in real-time 

based on responses. 

Many of the procedures and protocols 

in the MICS are based upon those 

previously employed as part of the 

2008–2012 NSDUH Mental Health 

Surveillance Study (approved as an addon to NSDUH under OMB No. 0930– 

0110). The total annual burden for the 

2023 and 2024 MICS was approved 

under previous NSDUH ICRs (OMB No. 

0930–0110).

Coast Guard 

[Docket No USCG–2024–0021] 

Recertification of Prince William Sound 

Regional Citizens’ Advisory Council 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of recertification. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces 

the recertification of the Prince William 

Sound Regional Citizens’ Advisory 

Council (PWSRCAC) as an alternative 

voluntary advisory group for Prince 

William Sound, Alaska. This 

certification allows the PWSRCAC to 

monitor the activities of terminal 

facilities and crude oil tankers under an 

alternative composition, other than 

prescribed, the Prince William Sound 

Program established by the Oil Terminal 

and Oil Tanker Environmental 

Oversight and Monitoring Act of 1990. 

DATES: This recertification is effective 

for the period from March 1, 2024 

through February 28, 2025. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

information about this document, call or 

email LT Case Kuikhoven, Seventeenth 

Coast Guard District (dpi), by phone at 

(907) 463–2809 or email at 

case.a.kuikhoven@uscg,mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Purpose: The Coast 

Guard published guidelines on 

December 31, 1992 (57 FR 62600), to 

assist groups seeking recertification 

under the Oil Terminal and Oil Tanker 

Environmental Oversight and 

Monitoring Act of 1990 (33 U.S.C. 2732) 

(the Act). The Coast Guard issued a 

policy statement on July 7, 1993 (58 FR 

36504), to clarify the factors that the 

Coast Guard would be considering in 

making its determination as to whether 

advisory groups should be certified in 

accordance with the Act, and the 

procedures which the Coast Guard 

would follow in meeting its certification 

responsibilities under the Act. Most 

recently, on September 16, 2002 (67 FR 

58440), the Coast Guard changed its 

policy on recertification procedures for 

regional citizen’s advisory council by 

requiring applicants to provide 

comprehensive information every three 

years. For each of the two years between 

the triennial application procedures, 

applicants submit a letter requesting 

recertification that includes a 

description of any substantive changes 

to the information provided at the 

previous triennial recertification. 

Further, public comment is only 

solicited during the triennial 

comprehensive review. 

The Alyeska Pipeline Service 

Company pays the PWSRCAC $3.7 

million annually in the form of a longterm contract. In return for this funding, 

the PWSRCAC must annually show that 

it ‘‘fosters the goals and purposes’’ of 

OPA 90 and is ‘‘broadly representative 

of the communities and interests in the 

vicinity of the terminal facilities and 

Prince William Sound.’’ The PWSRCAC 

is an independent, nonprofit 

organization founded in 1989. Though it
