Subject: 2008-2010 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Methodological Field Tests
This memo addresses changes to be made to the 2008-2010 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Methodological Field Tests Generic Clearance Package that was submitted to OMB in October, 2007. Per our discussion on March 4, 2008, the Program has eliminated the studies that would require a large, nationally representative sample. Instead, they will submit under this generic clearance studies that will test out the procedures for these collections. The actual collections will be submitted for full clearance sometime in the future.
