This information
collection is approved for the pretest only. NIDA should resubmit
the request after it addresses the following concerns: NIDA has
been asked to explore whether an oversample of native Americans
would be useful for policy purposes and to solicit funding for the
oversample from IHS and BIA; NIDA should formally request that IHS
and BIA consider whether the data would be useful for policy
purposes, whether the household survey approach is a desirable
mecha- nism, and whether they would fund the oversample.If IHS or
BIA believe the oversample would be useful and will make funds
available then NIDA should add the oversample to the 1993 survey or
explain in detail why the addition of the oversample is not
feasible until the 1994 round.
