SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Motivations for Speeding. 

Type of Request: New information 

collection requirement. 

Abstract: Speeding is one of the 

primary factors leading to vehicle 

crashes. In 2008, 31% of all fatal crashes 

were speeding-related. The estimated 

economic cost to society for speedingrelated crashes is $40.4 billion per year. 

Driving at higher speeds reduces the 

ability of drivers to avoid obstacles or 

react to sudden changes in the roadway 

environment and increases crash 

severity. The pervasiveness of speeding 

behavior is reflected in a recent national 

survey that showed that approximately 

75% of all drivers reported speeding in 

the past month. Since most drivers often 

do not see speeding as risky or 

dangerous behavior, it is imperative that 

NHTSA gain a better understanding of 

the motivations for speeding behaviors 

in order to develop and refine effective 

interventions and countermeasures. 

NHTSA proposes to conduct followup focus groups with 72 participants 

from an earlier on-road instrumented 

vehicle data collection conducted in 

Seattle, WA and College Station, TX. 

Focus group recruitment will be based 

on participants’ speeding patterns in the 

on-road data. The focus groups will 

contribute to a better understanding of 

speeding and speeders, a more accurate 

taxonomy of high/low speed driver 

subgroups, and a better understanding 

of the motives, attitudes and habits of 

these subgroups. The focus groups will 

explore speed choices and speeding 

behaviors and the factors that influence 

them, beliefs and attitudes toward 

speeding, reactions to and discussions 

about specific driving scenarios, and 

individual/group responses to various 

speeding countermeasures. The focus 

groups are expected to provide data 

relevant to descriptions of key 

motivations, attitudes, normative 

commitment to law, driving habits 

relevant to speeding and speeding 

countermeasures; descriptions of 

countermeasures with the greatest likely 

benefits; implementation issues and 

concerns associated with the 

countermeasures; and key advantages 

and disadvantages associated with 

various countermeasures. 

Affected Public: NHTSA plans to 

conduct six focus group sessions, three 

in Seattle, WA and three in College 

Station, TX. Each focus group will 

consist of 8–12 participants and last 

approximately 80 minutes. Participants 

will be recruited by e-mail or telephone 

based on their driving behaviors in the 

earlier on-road phase of the study and 

their demographic characteristics. 

Participation by all respondents would 

be voluntary and confidential. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: The 

total estimated annual burden is 

between 64 and 96 hours, depending on 

the number of participants (range 8–12) 

in each group. The respondents would 

not incur any reporting cost from the 

information collection. The respondents 

also would not incur any record keeping 

burden or record keeping cost from the 

information collection. 

Comments are invited on the 

following: 

(i) Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(ii) The accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

information collection; 

(iii) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(iv) Ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

A comment to OMB is most effective 

if OMB receives it within 30 days of 

publication.

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption 

Renewals; Vision 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of final disposition. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA previously 

announced its decision to renew the 

exemptions from the vision requirement 

in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations for 12 individuals. FMCSA 

has statutory authority to exempt 

individuals from the vision requirement 

if the exemptions granted will not 

compromise safety. The Agency has 

concluded that granting these 

exemptions will provide a level of safety 

that will be equivalent to, or greater 

than, the level of safety maintained 

without the exemptions for these 

commercial motor vehicle (CMV) 

drivers.

Programs, (202) 366–4001,

224, Washington, DC 20590–0001. 

Office hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

Monday through Friday, except Federal 

holidays. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, 

FMCSA may grant an exemption for a 2- 

year period if it finds ‘‘such exemption 

would likely achieve a level of safety 

that is equivalent to, or greater than, the 

level that would be achieved absent 

such exemption.’’ The statute also 

allows the Agency to renew exemptions 

at the end of the 2-year period. The 

comment period ended on June 16, 2010 

(75 FR 27621). 

Discussion of Comments 

FMCSA received no comments in this 

proceeding. 

Conclusion 

The Agency has not received any 

adverse evidence on any of these drivers 

that indicates that safety is being 

compromised. Based upon its 

evaluation of the 12 renewal 

applications, FMCSA renews the 

Federal vision exemptions for Guy M. 

Alloway, Joe W. Brewer, James D. 

Coates, Donald D. Dunphy, James W. 

Ellis, IV, John E. Engstad, David A. 

Inman, Lawrence C. Moody, Stanley W. 

Nunn, Bobby C. Spencer, Kevin R. 

Stoner and Marion E. Terry. 

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) 

and 31315, each renewal exemption will 

be valid for 2 years unless revoked 

earlier by FMCSA. The exemption will 

be revoked if: (1) The person fails to 

comply with the terms and conditions 

of the exemption; (2) the exemption has 

resulted in a lower level of safety than 

was maintained before it was granted; or 

(3) continuation of the exemption would 

not be consistent with the goals and 

objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136 and 31315.

the Coastwise Trade Laws 

AGENCY: Maritime Administration, 

Department of Transportation. 

ACTION: Invitation for public comments 

on a requested administrative waiver of 

the Coastwise Trade Laws for the vessel 

PALMETTO FLYER. 

SUMMARY: As authorized by 46 U.S.C. 

12121, the Secretary of Transportation, 

as represented by the Maritime 

Administration (MARAD), is authorized 

to grant waivers of the U.S.-build 

requirement of the coastwise laws under 

certain circumstances. A request for 

such a waiver has been received by 

MARAD. The vessel, and a brief 

description of the proposed service, is 

listed below. The complete application 

is given in DOT docket MARAD–2010– 

0063 at http://www.regulations.gov. 

Interested parties may comment on the 

effect this action may have on U.S. 

vessel builders or businesses in the U.S. 

that use U.S.-flag vessels. If MARAD 

determines, in accordance with 46 

U.S.C. 12121 and MARAD’s regulations 

at 46 CFR part 388 (68 FR 23084; April 

30, 2003), that the issuance of the 

waiver will have an unduly adverse 

effect on a U.S.-vessel builder or a 

business that uses U.S.-flag vessels in 

that business, a waiver will not be 

granted. Comments should refer to the 

docket number of this notice and the 

vessel name in order for MARAD to 

properly consider the comments.
