Abstract:
This collection provides the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) with a national database on analyzed drug evidence from non-federal laboratories. Information from this database is combined with other existing databases to develop more accurate, up-to-date information on abused drugs. This database represents a voluntary, cooperative effort on the part of participating laboratories to provide a centralized source of analyzed drug data. Existing federal drug abuse databases do not provide the type, scope or quality of information necessary to effectively estimate the actual or relative abuse potential of drugs as required under the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 811(b)) and international treaties in a timely and efficient manner.

Short Statement:
The primary reason for the change in the number of responses and burden is due to a computational error in the 2019 Approved Burden. The corrected annual responses, annual hour burden, and annual cost are 6,050, 1,918, and $79,757, respectively. From the corrected 2019 approved burden, the difference for annual responses, annual hour burden, and annual cost are decrease of 238, decrease of 59, and incrase of $5,118. The decrease in annual responses and hour burden correspond to the adjustment of estimated number of resondents. The increase in annual cost is due to adjustment in loaded hourly rate for the occupation of the person expected to submit the responses. The table below summarizes the changes since the last renewal of this information collection.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$2,179,106
