We are requesting written comments

and suggestions from the public and

affected agencies concerning the

proposed collection of information.

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

proposed 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

Comments and/or suggestions

notice, especially regarding the

estimated public burden and associated

response time should be directed to Mr.

Frank L. Sapienza, Chief, Drug and

Chemical Evaluation Section, Office of

Overview of this information

collection:

1. Type of Information Collection:

New Collection.

2. Title of the Form/Collection:

Collection of analyzed drug data from

non-Federal forensic crime laboratories.

3. Agency form number: None;

Applicable component of the

Department of Justice sponsoring the

collection: Office of Diversion Control,

Drug Enforcement Administration,

Department of Justice.

4. Affected public who will be asked

to respond, as well as a brief abstract:

Primary: State and local crime

laboratories. Other: None.

DEA is required under the Controlled

Substances Act (CSA) [21 U.S.C. 811 (b)]

to gather data relevant to a

determination of the actual or relative

abuse potential of drugs. Existing

Federal drug abuse data bases do not

provide the type or quality of

information necessary to accomplish

this task in a timely and efficient

manner. Non-Federal crime laboratories

conduct chemical analyses on a

significantly larger number of illicit

drug samples than DEA’s seven

laboratories. The non-Federal analyzed

drug data is an untapped resource

which would give DEA a very

comprehensive representation of drug

trafficking in the U.S. This data has the

highest degree of validity because it is

verified by chemical analysis. DEA is

coordination this voluntary, cooperative

program to provide a centralized source

of analyzed laboratory drug data.

Participating laboratories and other

government agencies will be permitted

to access part of the data base.

5. An estimate of the total number of

respondents and the amount of time

estimated for an average respondent to

respond: 330 respondents at 12 times

per year at 8 hours per response.

6. An estimate of the total public

burden (in hours) associated with the

collection: 31,680 annual burden hours.

Public comment on this proposed

information collection is strongly

encouraged.
