SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), before a Federal 

agency can collect certain information 

from the public, it must receive 

approval from the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB). In compliance with 

these requirements, this notice 

announces that the following 

information collection request has been 

forwarded to OMB. 

A Federal Register notice with a 60- 

day comment period soliciting public 

comments on the following information 

collection was published on August 3, 

2020 (Federal Register/Vol. 85, No. 149/ 

pp. 46782–46786). NHTSA received two 

comments. Sarah Smoak provided 

comments supportive of the proposed 

information collection. An anonymous 

commenter provided remarks about the 

COVID–19 pandemic with no mention 

of the proposed survey or traffic safety. 

Comments on the proposed 

information collection are appreciated. 

Thank you to Ms. Smoak for providing 

thoughtful commentary as to the 

importance of conducting the National 

Survey of Speeding Attitudes and 

Behaviors. This included using the data 

to be able to formulate plans, 

procedures, and countermeasures to 

have positive impacts on the public by 

reducing speed-related deaths. Ms. 

Smoak also appreciates that the periodic 

surveys help track behavioral changes 

related to speeding. 

Title: National Survey of Speeding 

Attitudes and Behaviors. 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0613. 

Form Numbers: NHTSA Form 1538, 

NHTSA Form 1539, NHTSA Form 1544, 

NHTSA Form 1545, NHTSA Form 1546. 

Type of Information Collection 

Request: Reinstatement with 

modification of a previously approved 

information collection (OMB Control 

No. 2127–0613). 

Type of Review Requested: Regular. 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval: 3 years from date of approval. 

Respondents: Random sample of U.S. 

adults (18 years old and older) who 

drive a motor vehicle. 

Summary of the Collection of 

Information: NHTSA is seeking 

approval to conduct a National Survey 

of Speeding Attitudes and Behaviors by 

web and mail among a national 

probability sample of 7,013 adult 

drivers (and 152 adult drivers for a pilot 

survey), age 18 and older. Participation 

by respondents would be voluntary. 

Survey topics would include the extent 

to which drivers speed, drivers’ 

attitudes and perceptions about 

speeding, reasons and motivations for 

speeding, and knowledge and attitudes 

towards countermeasure strategies to 

deter speeding. 

In conducting the proposed research, 

the survey would use computer-assisted 

web interviewing (i.e., a programmed, 

self-administered web survey) to 

minimize recording errors, as well as 

optical mark recognition and image 

scanning for the paper and pencil 

survey to facilitate ease of use and data 

accuracy. A Spanish-language survey 

option would be used to minimize 

language barriers to participation. 

Surveys would be conducted with 

respondents using an address-based 

sampling design that encourages 

respondents to complete the survey 

online. Although web would be the 

primary data collection mode, a paper 

questionnaire would be sent to 

households that do not respond to the 

web invitations. The proposed survey 

would be anonymous and the survey 

would not collect any personal 

information. This collection only 

requires respondents to report their 

answers; there are no record-keeping 

costs to the respondents. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use of the 

Information: 

NHTSA was established to reduce 

deaths, injuries, and economic losses 

resulting from motor vehicle crashes on 

the nation’s highways. As part of this 

statutory mandate, NHTSA is 

authorized to conduct research for the 

development of traffic safety programs. 

Title 23, United States Code, Section 

403 gives the Secretary of 

Transportation (NHTSA by delegation) 

authorization to use funds appropriated 

to conduct research and development 

activities, including demonstration 

projects and the collection and analysis 

of highway and motor vehicle safety 

data and related information, with

respect to all aspects of highway and 

traffic safety systems and conditions 

relating to vehicle, highway, driver, 

passenger, motorcyclist, bicyclist, and 

pedestrian characteristics; accident 

causation and investigations; and 

human behavioral factors and their 

effect on highway and traffic safety. 

Traffic crashes are complex. Often, 

they involve multiple contributing 

factors, with speeding as one of the 

primary factors leading to a crash. 

Speeding-related crashes—defined as 

racing, exceeding the speed limit, or 

driving too fast for conditions 1— 

resulted in 26% of all crash fatalities in 

2018,2 a percentage that has largely 

remained the same over the last 20 years 

despite national, State, and local efforts 

to address the speeding problem. In 

2010, speeding-related crashes were 

estimated to result in $52 billion in 

economic costs and $203 billion in 

comprehensive costs.3 Speeding is 

especially dangerous because it reduces 

the driver’s ability to maneuver around 

obstacles in a timely manner, increases 

the distance a vehicle requires to stop, 

and increases the severity of injuries.4

This stalled progress suggests that new 

countermeasures that differ from typical 

enforcement and engineering efforts 

may be needed to reduce speeding 

deaths. An interdisciplinary approach 

involving engineering, enforcement, and 

education is needed to change drivers’ 

speeding behavior, thereby reducing 

speeding-related crashes, fatalities and 

injuries. To design interventions and 

countermeasure strategies that are likely 

to lead to behavior change, NHTSA 

requires up-to-date information on 

which drivers are speeding, their 

attitudes, perceptions, and motivations, 

as well as what countermeasures are 

most likely to reduce their speeding 

behavior. It is important to focus studies 

on factors underlying behaviors such as 

attitudes or perceptions of norms that 

are changeable. 

NHTSA has conducted the National 

Survey of Speeding Attitudes and 

Behaviors on three previous occasions— 

first in 1997, again in 2002, and most 

recently in 2011. In the 2021 survey, 

NHTSA intends to examine the extent to 

which drivers’ speed, who the speeders 

are, when and why drivers speed, and 

what countermeasures are most 

acceptable and effective in reducing 

speeding. Furthermore, NHTSA plans to 

assess whether self-reported behaviors, 

attitudes, and perceptions regarding 

speeding and associated 

countermeasure strategies have changed 

over time since the administration of the 

prior three national surveys. The 2021 

survey will also include new questions 

on emerging speed-related technologies. 

The findings from this proposed 

information collection will assist 

NHTSA in designing, targeting, and 

implementing programs intended to 

reduce speed on the roadways and to 

provide data to States, localities, and 

law enforcement agencies that will aid 

in their efforts to reduce speed-related 

crashes and injuries. 

NHTSA will use the information to 

produce a technical report that presents 

the results of the study. The technical 

report will provide aggregate (summary) 

statistics and tables as well as the 

results of statistical analysis of the 

information, but it will not include any 

personally identifiable information (PII). 

The technical report will be shared with 

State highway offices, local 

governments, and those who develop 

traffic safety communications that aim 

to reduce speed-related crashes. 

Frequency of Collection: The study 

will be conducted one time during the 

three-year period for which NHTSA is 

requesting approval. This study is part 

of a tracking and trending study to 

measure changes over time. The last 

study was administered in 2011. 

Respondents: Participants will be U.S. 

adults (18 years old and older) who 

drive a motor vehicle. Businesses are 

ineligible for the sample and would not 

be interviewed. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

7,165. 

Participation in this study will be 

voluntary, with 7,013 participants 

sampled from all 50 States and the 

District of Columbia using address data 

from the most recent U.S. Postal Service 

(USPS) computerized Delivery 

Sequence File (DSF) of residential 

addresses. An estimated 20,600 

households will be contacted and have 

the study described to them. No more 

than one respondent will be selected per 

household. 

Prior to the main survey, a pilot 

survey will be administered to test the 

survey and the mailing protocol and 

procedures. Participation in this study 

will be voluntary, with 152 participants 

sampled from all 50 States and the 

District of Columbia using address data 

from the most recent U.S. Postal Service 

(USPS) computerized Delivery 

Sequence File (DSF) of residential 

addresses. An estimated 444 households 

will be contacted and have the study 

described to them. No more than one 

respondent will be selected per 

household. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: NHTSA estimates the total 

burden of this information collection by 

estimating the burden to those that 

NHTSA contacts who do not respond 

(non-responders), those that NHTSA 

contacts who respond but are ineligible 

(ineligible respondents), and those who 

respond and are eligible for 

participation (eligible respondents or 

actual participants). The estimated time 

to contact 20,600 potential participants 

(actual participants, ineligible 

respondents, and non-responders) for 

the survey and 444 potential 

participants (actual participants, 

ineligible respondents, and nonresponders) for the pilot is one minute 

per person per contact attempt. Contact 

attempts will be made in five waves 

with fewer potential participants 

contacted each subsequent wave. 

NHTSA estimates that 7,221 people will 

respond to the survey request and 156 

will respond to the pilot. Of those, 

NHTSA estimates that nearly 3% will be 

ineligible because they are not drivers or 

are under 18 years old, resulting in 208 

respondents to the survey and 4 

respondents to the pilot who are 

ineligible. The estimated time to contact 

and screen 208 ineligible survey 

participants and 4 ineligible pilot 

participants is three minutes per person. 

The estimated time to contact and 

complete the survey for 7,013 

participants and 152 pilot participants 

is 21 minutes per person. Details of the 

burden hours for each wave in the pilot 

and full survey are included in Tables 

1 and 2 below.

Exploring Industry Practices on 

Distribution and Display of Airline 

Fare, Schedule, and Availability 

Information 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, 

Department of Transportation. 

ACTION: Notice of withdrawal of request 

for information. 

SUMMARY: The Department of 

Transportation (‘‘Department’’ or 

‘‘DOT’’) is withdrawing a Request for 

Information (‘‘RFI’’) that solicited 

information on whether airline 

restrictions on the distribution or 

display of airline flight information 

harm consumers and constitute an 

unfair and deceptive business practice 

and/or an unfair method of competition. 

DATES: December 31, 2020.

docket number DOT–OST–2016–0204 

in the search field. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department issued the RFI on October 

31, 2016 in response to concerns raised 

by certain online travel agencies 

(OTAs), metasearch entities that operate 

flight search tools, and other 

stakeholders involved in the 

distribution of flight information and 

sale of air transportation, as well as 

consumer advocates and some members 

of Congress regarding certain practices 

related to the distribution and display of 

airline fare, schedule, and availability 

information.1 The Department has also 

heard from airlines and other members 

of Congress opposing Departmental 

action in this area. On December 22, 

2016, DOT extended the response date 

of the RFI to March 31, 2017.2 On March 

10, 2017, the Department suspended the 

response period while it evaluated next 

steps.3

The issue of airline restrictions on the 

distribution or display of airline flight 

information on third-party travel 

websites is a complex issue with farreaching implications for consumers, 

airlines, ticket agents, and the various 

participants in the distribution chain. 

The Department recognizes that 

transparency is not only good for 

consumers but also good for 

competition in the airline industry. 

However, the Department also believes 

that airlines should be able to choose 

how and where they sell their products 

so long as they do not engage in unfair 

or deceptive practices. These two goals 

are not mutually exclusive. The 

Department does not consider its 

involvement at this time to be necessary 

to prevent unfair, deceptive, or 

anticompetitive practices. As such, the 

Department has decided to withdraw 

the RFI.
