techniques to see if the campaigns are 

achieving their objectives. 

Description of the Likely Respondents 

(Including Estimated Number, and 

Proposed Frequency of Response to the 

Collection of Information)—Over the 

next 3 years, NHTSA intends to conduct 

National telephone surveys to collect 

data from 36,000 participants. For the 

National Alcohol Crackdown, 2 sets of 

pre/post intervention surveys, each with 

sample sizes of 1,500, will be 

administered annually for 3 years. 

Similarly, for the National Click It or 

Ticket Mobilization, 2 sets of pre/post 

intervention surveys, each with sample 

sizes of 1,500, will be administered 

annually for 3 years. 

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 Alcohol Crackdown or 

National Click It or Ticket Mobilization. 

This would involve augmentation of the 

pre- and post-national sample with one 

or more Regional, State, or Community 

samples. These samples will range from 

200 to 2,000. Typically they will be 

approximately 500. NHTSA intends to 

complete a maximum of 24,000 of these 

localized interviews over the next three 

years. 

In addition to the surveys associated 

with the National Alcohol 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 follow a pre-post 

design. Interventions sustained over an 

extended period of time may add one or 

more interim survey waves. Typically, a 

State demonstration survey will require 

500 participants per survey wave. A 

regional demonstration can range from 

as few as 200 participants for a small 

county to 2,000 participants for a Region 

covering more than one State. NHTSA 

intends to complete a maximum of 

40,800 of these interviews over the next 

three years. 

Interviews will be conducted with 

persons at residential phone numbers 

selected using random digit dialing. For 

interviews conducted with persons 

using landline phones, no more than 

one respondent per household will be 

selected. For interviews conducted with 

persons on cell phones, a single user of 

the cell phone will be selected. Each 

sample member will complete just one 

interview. Businesses are ineligible for 

the sample and would not be 

interviewed. 

Estimate of the Total Annual 

Reporting and Record Keeping Burden 

Resulting from the Collection of 

Information—NHTSA estimates that 

respondents in the sample would 

require an average of 10 minutes to 

complete the telephone interviews. The 

annual estimated reporting burden on 

the general public for the National 

surveys would be a maximum of 2,000 

hours to conduct 12,000 interviews. 

Over the requested three year period, 

this would be 6,000 hours to conduct 

36,000 interviews. The annual estimated 

reporting burden on the general public 

for the localized Crackdown and 

Mobilization surveys would be a 

maximum of 1,333.33 hours to conduct 

8,000 interviews. Over the requested 

three year period, this would be 4,000 

hours to conduct 24,000 interviews. The 

annual estimated reporting burden on 

the general public for the demonstration 

project surveys would be a maximum of 

2,266.67 hours to conduct 13,600 

interviews. Over the requested three 

year period, this would be 6,800 hours 

to conduct 40,800 interviews. In total, 

the annual estimated reporting burden 

on the public would be a maximum of 

5,600 hours to conduct 33,600 

interviews. Over the requested three 

year period this would be 16,800 hours 

to conduct 100,800 interviews. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: National Survey of Speeding 

Attitudes and Behavior: 2010. 

Type of Request: New information 

collection requirement. 

Abstract: Data from previous studies 

by the National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration (NHTSA) has shown 

that 31 percent of all fatal crashes are 

directly traceable to excessive speed. In 

2008, 11,674 people died in excessive 

speed-related crashes. The cost of these 

crashes is approximately 40 billion 

dollars per year. Surveys of drivers’ 

attitudes toward speeding have 

demonstrated a strong correlation 

between drivers’ attitudes towards 

speeding and other driving behaviors 

and actual traffic outcomes. Models 

based on self-reported measures of 

intentions and attitudes are used to 

predict traffic behaviors and design 

interventions to reduce speeding and 

other hazardous traffic actions. Some of 

these models stress the importance of 

attitude, habits and the interaction of 

habit with intention. 

NHTSA proposes to conduct a 2010 

National Survey of Speeding Attitudes 

and Behavior by telephone among a 

sample of 6,000 adults (age 16 and 

older). NHTSA’s information needs 

require a telephone survey of a national 

probability sample of drivers in the 

United States that will provide insight 

into why drivers speed and which 

methods of enforcement would 

discourage them from speeding. The 

questionnaire will contain items on the 

extent to which drivers speed, 

demographic and typological 

descriptions of speeders, locations and 

times when speeding is most frequent, 

attitudes and perceptions about 

speeding, reasons and motivations for 

speeding, knowledge of measures to

deter speeding, attitudes towards 

measures to deter speeding, and 

correlates of speeding behavior. In 

conducting the proposed survey, the 

interviewers would use computerassisted telephone interviewing to 

reduce interview length and minimize 

recording errors. A Spanish-language 

translation and bilingual interviewers 

would be used to minimize language 

barriers to participation. The proposed 

survey is the third in the series, which 

began in 1997. The 2010 survey will 

repeat many questions from previous 

surveys in order to monitor changes 

over time, and will also include new 

questions on emerging speed-related 

technologies. 

Affected Public: Randomly selected 

members of the general public age 16 

and older, including those in landline 

telephone households as well as those 

who primarily or exclusively use a 

cellular phone. Participation by all 

respondents would be voluntary and 

anonymous. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

2,005 hours (15 pretest interviews 

averaging 20 minutes per interview, 

followed by 6,000 interviews 

administered to the final survey sample 

averaging 20 minutes per interview). 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Description of Proposed System of 

Records 

The Veterans Tracking Application 

(VTA) and associated database supports 

both the Veterans Health 

Administration (VHA) and the Veterans 

Benefits Administration (VBA) branches 

of the Department of Veterans Affairs 

(VA). VTA provides the VA tracking 

information on members of the armed 

forces who will be transferred from a 

Department of Defense (DoD) Military 

Treatment Facility (MTF) to a VA health 

facility in the future or who already 

have Veteran status. The VTA provides 

tracking of the Servicemember’s arrival 

at the initial VA health facility and 

provides date and location information 

for subsequent transfers to other health 

facilities. In addition, VTA obtains data 

about patient history from the imported 

DoD Theater Medical Data Store 

(TMDS). In addition to the Veteran 

patient population, VTA records benefit 

tracking information for all severely 

injured Veterans requesting benefits. 

This history includes all benefit award 

details to include application dates, 

award decisions, dates and amounts. 

VTA also tracks Servicemembers and 

Veterans disability claims through the 

Disability Eligibility System (DES) pilot 

module. The purpose of VTA is to track 

the initial arrival of a Servicemember 

into the VA health system and their 

subsequent movement among VA health 

facilities, as well as monitor benefits 

application and administration details. 

II. Proposed Routine Use Disclosures of 

Data in the System 

1. The record of an individual 

included in this system may be 

provided to DoD systems or offices for 

use in connection with matters relating 

to one of DoD’s programs to enable 

delivery of healthcare or other DoD 

benefits to eligible beneficiaries. 

2. The name, address, VA file number, 

effective date of compensation or 

pension, current and historical benefit 

pay amounts for compensation or 

pension, service information, date of 

birth, competency payment status, 

incarceration status, and social security 

number of veterans and their 

dependants may be disclosed to the 

approved VA and DoD office/systems to 

reconcile the disability claims, benefits 

awards, and patient data. 

3. The name(s) and address(es) of a 

Veteran may be disclosed to another 

Federal agency or to a contractor of that 

agency, at the written request of the 

head of that agency or designee of the 

head of that agency for the purpose of 

conducting government research 

necessary to accomplish a statutory 

purpose of that agency. 

4. VA may disclose on its own 

initiative any information in this 

system, except the names and addresses 

of Veterans and their dependents that is 

relevant to a suspected or reasonably 

imminent violation of law, whether 

civil, criminal, or regulatory in nature 

and whether arising by general or 

program statute or by regulation, rule, or 

order issued pursuant thereto, a Federal, 

State, local, tribal, or foreign agency 

charged with the responsibility of 

investigating or prosecuting such 

violation, or charged with enforcing or 

implementing the statute, regulation, 

rule, or order. VA may also disclose on 

its own initiative the names and 

addresses of Veterans and their 

dependents to a Federal agency charged 

with the responsibility of investigating 

or prosecuting civil, criminal, or 

regulatory violations of law, or charged
