*State Prevention Needs Assessments: Alcohol and Other Drugs* —(OMB No. 0930-0185, Extension)—SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) has awarded contracts to eight States in Cohorts III and IV of the State Prevention Needs Assessment Program to collect data to assess the nature and extent of substance abuse prevention services needs. The family of prevention needs assessment studies applies a core set of measures, instruments, and methodologies developed and standardized under prior State needs assessment state contracts. These needs assessment studies will permit cross-State comparison of risk and protection variables to assist State services planning and allocation of State Block Grant funds.
CSAP is seeking a one year extension of OMB approval for the Virginia student survey to allow the second administration of the student survey and for completion of the Hawaii Community Resource Assessment survey. The annual response burden for this extension is as follows:
| Respondent | Number of respondents | Average number of responses/respondent | Average burden/response (hours) | Total burden hours |
