Prior to the next submission of this collection for OMB approval, NDIC needs to: 1) Address the issues noted in the Survey Question Testing Report, which is attached as a supplementary document, about category definitions for “low”, “moderate”, and “high” being relative to each jurisdiction, and monitor the utility of the newly added drugged driving questions. 2) Demonstrate in the supporting statements how the survey yields quality and reliable information. 3) Update the sample frame. Finally, DOJ should ensure that it submits collection packages that it wishes to extend to OMB before they expire.
