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

    2002 National Survey on Drug Use and Health--(OMB Number 0930-0110,

the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA)] is a survey of the 
civilian,

noninstitutionalized population of the United States 12 years old and 
older. The data are used to determine the prevalence of use of tobacco 
products, alcohol, illicit substances, and illicit use of prescription 
drugs. The results are used by SAMHSA, ONDCP, Federal government 
agencies, and other organizations and researchers to establish policy, 
direct program activities, and better allocate resources.
    For the 2002 NSDUH, the modular components of the questionnaire 
will remain essentially unchanged except for minor modifications to 
wording. As with all NSDUH surveys conducted since 1999, the sample 
size of the survey for 2002 will be sufficient to permit prevalence 
estimates for each of the fifty states and the District of Columbia. 
The total annual burden estimate is 85,400 hours as shown below:
