5Assessment average is based on the total number 

of assessments conducted each year and divided by 

the number of years since the inception of 

assessment requirements for certain grants under 

MAP–21, Public Law 112–141. 6See May 2019 National Industry-Specific

• Section 405, Impaired Driving 

Countermeasures, Motorcyclist Safety 

and Nonmotorized Grants: 52 (fifty 

States, the District of Columbia, and 

Puerto Rico). 

The estimated burden hours for the 

assessment part of the collection of 

information are based on the average 

number of State assessments that are 

carried out each year in each of the 

covered grant areas: 5 There are 9 

assessments planned for the Section 405 

Occupant Protection grants, 14 

assessments for the Section 405 Traffic 

safety information system improvement 

grants and 4 assessments for the Section 

405 Impaired driving grant. 

Under the grant application and 

annual report requirements, we estimate 

that it will take each respondent 

approximately 240 hours to collect, 

review and submit the required 

information to NHTSA for the Section 

402 program (200 burden hours for grant 

applications and 40 hours for annual 

reports). We further estimate that it will 

take each respondent approximately 180 

hours to collect, review and submit the 

required information to NHTSA for the 

Section 405 program. For traffic safety 

information system improvement grants, 

we estimate that it takes 123 hours to 

respond to questions under the 

assessment. For occupant protection 

and impaired driving countermeasures 

grants, we estimate that it takes 80 hours 

to provide the required information and 

respond to questions under an 

assessment. Based on the above 

information, the estimated annual 

burden hours for all State respondents 

is 26,522 hours. 

NHTSA estimates the labor cost 

associated with respondents preparing 

application materials using the 

estimated average wage for 

‘‘Management Analysts,’’ Occupation 

Code 13–1111. The Bureau of Labor 

Statistics estimates that the average 

hourly wage for management analysts in 

State and local government is $31.95.6

The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates 

that wages for State and local 

government workers represent 61.8% of 

total compensation costs.7 Therefore, 

NHTSA estimates the hourly labor costs 

to be $51.70 and estimates that hourly 

labor cost associated with preparing 

materials to be $24,056 per respondent. 

If all eligible States applied for and 

received grants for all programs (and 

including the annual number of 

assessment responses required from 

States), the total labor costs on all 

respondents would be $1,855,099. 

These estimates are based on every 

eligible respondent submitting the 

required information for every available 

grant. However, not all States apply for 

and receive a grant each year under each 

of these programs. In addition, under 

Section 405 grants, some requirements 

permit States to submit a single 

application covering multiple years 

allowing States to simply recertify in 

subsequent years. 

In addition to the burden hours for 

State respondents, this information 

collection also involves burden hours 

for subject matter experts who assess the 

States and burden hours for 

administrative assistants. For occupant 

protection and impaired driving 

assessments it is estimated that 

assessors spend approximately 80 hours 

of work on each assessment, based on 

the following assumptions: 46 hours for 

the interviews and panel discussions 

and 34 hours for pre- and postassessment activities, to include 

reviewing: (1) Briefing book materials; 

(2) resources on the State Highway 

Safety Office’s website, and (3) 

reviewing comments and/or suggestions 

submitted from the State after their 

review of the assessment final 

report.The honorarium the State pays to 

each team member is $2,700, which 

translates to $33.75 per hour. 

An administrative assistant works 

approximately 46 hours for the 

interviews and panel discussions and 18 

hours for pre- and post-assessment 

activities, to include coordinating 

logistics, assisting team members and 

editing the document. The honorarium 

for this position is $2,100 (which 

translates to $32.80 per hour). 

The cost for traffic records 

assessments is based on the honorarium 

that NHTSA pays each assessor. NHTSA 

pays each assessor $2,100 for their time 

and NHTSA estimates that each assessor 

spends approximately 16 hours for the 

assessment, or $131.25 per hour. 

Accordingly, NHTSA estimates the 

total burden hours for this information 

collection request is 44,826 hours and 

the associated labor costs is estimated to 

be $2,440,089. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: 

$422,500 

In addition to the cost of states in 

conjunction with the assessments, there 

are other costs involved related to 

conducting the event such as subject 

matter expert stipend, travel and per 

diem. These costs are approximately 

$32,500 per occupant protection and 

impaired driving assessment. For the 

thirteen planned assessments, the cost is 

estimated to be $422,500.
