SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Evaluation Surveys for Impaired 

Driving and Seat Belt Interventions. 

OMB Number: 2127–0646. 

Type of Request: Revision. 

Abstract: Telephone surveys have 

been an important component in 

NHTSA’s evaluation of seat belt and 

alcohol-impaired driving intervention 

activity. They have been used to 

measure public awareness of 

intervention campaigns, penetration of 

campaign messages, and perceived risk 

of negative consequences from engaging 

in proscribed behavior. The surveys 

have typically followed a pre-post 

design, where differences between an 

initial baseline survey wave and a later 

survey wave were associated with an 

intervening intervention. NHTSA has 

found such surveys to be valuable in 

assessing the multi-million dollar 

national media campaigns conducted 

for the National Impaired Driving 

Crackdowns and the National Click It or 

Ticket Mobilizations. They also have 

been useful in evaluating localized 

programs that tested variants of 

intervention models by providing 

information to assess campaign 

communications or interpret collected 

behavioral measures. With seat belt and 

alcohol-impaired driving intervention 

activity anticipated to remain heavy for 

the foreseeable future, there is a need for 

NHTSA to continue to apply these data 

collection techniques to see if the 

campaigns are achieving their 

objectives. 

NHTSA is proposing to continue 

conducting national telephone surveys 

surrounding the National Impaired 

Driving Crackdowns and National Click 

It or Ticket Mobilizations. In conducting 

one or more of the National surveys, 

NHTSA may have a need to collect 

information to assess localized activity 

associated with the National Crackdown 

or Mobilization. This would involve 

augmentation of the pre- and post 

national sample with one or more 

Regional, State, or Community samples. 

In addition to the telephone surveys 

associated with the National Impaired 

Driving Crackdown and National Click 

It or Ticket Mobilization, NHTSA 

intends to conduct telephone surveys to 

assess selected demonstrations of 

interventions designed to reduce 

alcohol-impaired driving and/or 

increase seat belt use. The surveys will 

also follow a pre-post design. 

Interventions sustained over an 

extended period of time may add one or 

more interim survey waves. 

NHTSA currently has an approved 

inventory of 164,800 10-minute 

interviews under OMB Number 2127– 

0646 for surveys to help assess the 

National Impaired Driving Crackdowns, 

the National Click It or Ticket 

Mobilizations, and certain localized seat 

belt or alcohol-impaired driving 

demonstration projects. To date, 

approximately 59,000 interviews have 

either been completed or are scheduled 

to be completed prior to an OMB 

decision regarding this requested 

revision. The requested revision is to 

decrease the inventory to 160,211 while 

renewing the clearance for three more 

years. 

Affected Public: Randomly selected 

members of the general public eighteen 

and older in telephone households. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

5,600 hours per year (33,600 10-minute 

interviews) divided as follows: 2,000 

hours (12,000 interviews) for national 

surveys associated with the National 

Impaired Driving Crackdowns or 

National Click It or Ticket 

Mobilizations, 1,333 hours (8,000 

interviews) for localized surveys 

associated with the National 

Crackdowns or Mobilizations, and 2,267 

hours (13,600 interviews) for other 

selected seat belt or alcohol-impaired 

driving demonstrations. Over a three 

year period this would be 16,800 hours 

for 100,800 interviews. 

Comments are invited on: Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the Department of 

Transportation, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

the accuracy of the Department’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

information collection; ways to enhance 

the quality, utility and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and 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. 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. Section 3506(c)(2)(A).

Associate Administrator, Research and 

Program Development.
