Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request 

Periodically, the Substance Abuse and 

Mental Health Services Administration 

(SAMHSA) will publish a summary 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 at (240) 276–1243. 

Project: Drug Abuse Warning Network 

(OMB No. 0930–0078)—Revision 

The Drug Abuse Warning Network 

(DAWN) is an ongoing data system that 

collects information on drug-related 

medical emergencies as reported from 

about 350 hospitals nationwide, and 

drug-related deaths as reported from 11 

states with centralized Medical 

Examiner offices and 125 medical 

examiners/coroner jurisdictions (ME/C) 

in 32 metropolitan areas. DAWN 

provides national and metropolitan 

estimates of substances involved with 

drug-related emergency department (ED) 

visits; disseminates information about 

substances involved in deaths 

investigated by participating medical 

examiners and coroners (ME/Cs); tracks 

drug abuse patterns, trends, and the 

emergence of new substances; monitors 

post-market adverse drug incidents; 

assesses health hazards associated with 

the use of illicit, prescription, and overthe-counter drugs; and generates 

information for national and local drug 

abuse policy and program planning. 

DAWN data are used by Federal, State, 

and local agencies, as well as 

universities, pharmaceutical companies, 

and the media. 

From 2009 to 2011, DAWN will 

continue to recruit hospitals in the 13 

oversampled metropolitan areas and in 

the remainder of the U.S. in order to 

improve the precision of estimates, 

adding approximately 43 sampled 

hospitals that are currently not

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 166 / Tuesday, August 26, 2008 / Notices 50335 

participating. This additional 

recruitment is possible as the transition 

to the new sample is finalized. When 

hospitals from the old sample are 

phased out, they can be replaced with 

hospitals from the new sample. In 2009 

and 2010, DAWN plans to recruit 2 

States with centralized ME/C systems. 

To achieve full participation by ME/Cs 

in the metropolitan areas currently 

covered, DAWN plans to recruit 

approximately 20 more ME/Cs from the 

13 metropolitan areas, and 

approximately 20 ME/Cs from 

metropolitan areas in the rest of the 

country. DAWN data are submitted 

electronically, using eHERS (electronic 

Hospital Emergency Reporting System) 

and eMERS (electronic Medical 

Examiner Reporting System). In most of 

the facilities participating in DAWN (83 

percent of the EDs and 58 percent of the 

ME/C offices), data are collected by 

government contractor staff; these 

facilities are not included in the burden 

statement because the facility staff are 

not involved in data collection. The 

annual burden estimates for those EDs 

and ME/C offices that collect the data 

using their own staff are shown below. 

There will be minor editorial changes to 

both the ED and ME/C reporting forms 

to simplify reporting. On the ME/C 

reporting form, a data element for case 

narrative will be added. These changes 

are not anticipated to impact the overall 

burden.
