Development of the Drugged Driving Reporting System

SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for opportunity for public comment 
on proposed data collection projects, the National Institute on Drug 
Abuse (NIDA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will publish 
periodic summaries of proposed projects to be submitted to the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval.
    Written comments and/or suggestions from the public and affected 
agencies are invited on one or more of the following points: (1) 
Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the function of the agency, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the 
agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, including the 
use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other 
technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
    To Submit Comments and for Further Information: To request more 
information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the data 
collection plans and instruments, contact Harold Perl, Ph.D., Chief, 
Prevention Research Branch, Division of Epidemiology, Services &

    Proposed Collection: Assessing an Online Process to Study the 
Prevalence of Drugged Driving in the U.S: Development of the Drugged 
Driving Reporting System. Type of Information Collection Request: 0925-
NEW. National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institutes of 
Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The study seeks to provide 
an improved understanding of the prevalence of drugged driving among 
adult drivers in the U.S and will assess the effectiveness of the 
online survey implementation process. The primary objectives of the 
study are to: (a) To provide comprehensive data on drugged driving; (b) 
determine if the Drugged Driving Survey Instrument (DDS) is an 
effective and accurate measure of drugged driving among licensed U.S. 
Drivers aged 18 and older; and, (c) to assess the effectiveness of the 
survey implementation process, including various levels of incentives 
for participation to determine the appropriate/optimal incentive amount 
needed to obtain the desired number of total survey respondents within 
the timeframe within which survey data will be collected. The findings 
will provide valuable information concerning various aspects of 
substance use and driving behavior, including: (1) Demographic 
information about drivers who do and do not drive while impaired by 
medication and/or drugs (e.g. age, zip code, type of driver's license); 
(2) which drugs/medications are most likely to be used while driving; 
(3) drivers' beliefs and attitudes toward drugged driving. OMB approval 
is requested for 2 years. There are no direct costs to respondents 
other than their time. The total annualized estimated burden hours are 
750.
