SAMSHA may use
the non-substantive change mechanism to 1) incorporate the results
of testing and 2) to modify existing questions for use in 2021,
including those designed to add depth/additional detail and cycle
in and out methodological modules that have been used in the past
years (with modest updates). If new supplemental modules, new
questionnaire instruments, or modifications to the sample or
recruitment methods (other than those tested in the Field Test) are
anticipated, a full revision of the ICR package must be submitted
to OMB.

The NSDUH (formerly the National
Household Survey on Drug Abuse) is a survey of the civilian,
noninstitutionalized population of the United States, age 12 and
over. The data are used to estimate the prevalence of cigarette,
alcohol and illicit drug use, and abuse of licit drugs. Results are
used by SAMHSA, ONDCP, and other Federal agencies and other
researchers and organizations to establish policy, direct program
activities, and better allocate resources.
Currently, there are 79,851
total burden hours in the OMB inventory. SAMHSA is requesting
81,882 burden hours for the main study. The inclusion of the
additional questions on vaping and synthetics for 2020 will not
result in a significant increase in main study respondent burden
because these questions are closed-ended which typically take an
average 10 seconds to administer, so most respondents will only see
a minor increase. Additional information regarding changes in
burden for the 2020 Clinical Validation Study is included in 2019
OMB addendum – CVS memo and for the 2020 Field Test is included in
the 2019 OMB addendum – FT memo.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
