§1533 Information collection and dissemination with respect to grant recipients

Summary

The Administrator must be given access to grant-related books, records, and other documents for audits and reviews. The Administrator can ask grant recipients for information from time to time to make sure they meet the rules in section 1532(a). The Administrator must put out requests for proposals about how to apply, how renewals work, and when renewals can be suspended or withheld. Applications must be written and are reviewed by the Administrator. The Administrator must try to keep reporting simple and speed up renewal applications as much as the law allows. The Administrator may collect data from national substance-use groups that work with eligible coalitions, from federal, state, local, or tribal agencies, and from any other group doing related work. The Administrator may evaluate specific efforts and the whole Program, and share the results with eligible coalitions, other substance-use organizations, and the public. The Administrator must consult with the Advisory Commission and the National Community Antidrug Coalition Institute when doing this. Money for Program evaluations cannot come from amounts under section 1524(a), except for administrative costs allowed under section 1524(b).
