Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a list of information collection 
requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these documents, call 
the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (301) 443-7978.
    State Prevention Needs Assessments: Alcohol and Other Drugs--(OMB 
No. 0930-0185, Extension)--SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse 
Prevention (CSAP) has awarded contracts to eight States in Cohorts III 
and IV of the State Prevention Needs Assessment Program to collect data 
to assess the nature and extent of substance abuse prevention services 
needs. The family of prevention needs assessment studies applies a core 
set of measures, instruments, and methodologies developed and 
standardized under prior State needs assessment state contracts. These 
needs assessment studies will permit cross-State comparison of risk and 
protection variables to assist State services planning and allocation 
of State Block Grant funds.
    CSAP is seeking a one year extension of OMB approval for the 
Virginia student survey to allow the second administration of the 
student survey and for completion of the Hawaii Community Resource 
Assessment survey. The annual response burden for this extension is as 
follows:
