to three minutes for the community 

surveys and two minutes for the 

national survey. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden 

Hours: 1,268 hours for the total study. 

NHTSA estimates that for the 3,400 

AmeriSpeak panelists that will have to 

be screened, the estimated total burden 

is 113 hours (3,400 × 2 min./60). For the 

3,100 qualified volunteers who take the 

national survey, the estimated total 

burden hours are 775 hours (3,100 × 15 

min./60), yielding at least 3,000 fully 

completed surveys. Likewise, the total 

estimated burden for the maximum of 

1,600 potential participants to be 

screened for the community survey (400 

per wave × 2 communities x 2 waves) 

is 80 hours (1,600 × 3 min./60). The 

estimated total burden hours for the 

1,200 fully completed surveys (300 per 

wave × 2 communities × 2 waves) is 300 

hours (1,200 × 15 min./60). Table 1 

provides a summary of the burden hours 

per survey.
