Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 40 / Tuesday, March 2, 2010 / Notices 9475 

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 exclusive 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. 

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

Subjects: In this notice the Board is 

requesting that comments be sent to 

OMB on the following information 

collections: 

Collection Number One 

Title: Maps Required in Abandonment 

Exemption Proceedings. 

OMB Control Number: 2140–0008. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change. 

Respondents: Railroads initiating 

abandonment exemption proceedings. 

Number of Respondents: 80. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour, 

based on average time reported in 

informal survey of respondents 

conducted in 2009. 

Frequency of Response: 1. 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 80. 

Total Annualized Non-Hourly Cost: 

None have been identified. 

Needs and Uses: Under 49 CFR 

1152.50(d)(2)and 1152.60(b), the Board 

requires in each abandonment 

exemption proceeding a detailed map of 

the rail line, depicting the line’s relation 

to other rail lines, roads, water routes, 

and population centers. The Board uses 

this information to determine the scope 

and the impact of the proposed 

abandonment. In addition, this 

information is posted on the Board’s 

Web site and serves as a form of notice 

to current and/or potential shippers, 

and to persons who might want to make 

an offer of financial assistance under 49 

U.S.C. 10904; acquire the line as a trail 

under the National Trails System Act,

16 U.S.C 1247(d); or acquire the line for 

another public purpose under 49 U.S.C. 

10905. 

Collection Number Two 

Title: System Diagram Maps (or, in the 

case of small carriers, the alternative 

narrative description of rail system). 

OMB Control Number: 2140–0003. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change. 

Respondents: Common carrier freight 

railroads that are either new or reporting 

changes in the status of one or more of 

their rail lines. 

Number of Respondents: 3. 

Estimated Time per Response: 7.1 

hours, based on average time reported in 

informal survey of respondents 

conducted in 2009. 

Frequency of Response: 1. 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 21 

hours. 

Total Annualized Non-Hourly Cost: 

None have been identified. 

Needs and Uses: Under 49 CFR 

1152.10–1152.13, all railroads subject to 

the Board’s jurisdiction are required to 

keep current system diagram maps 

(SDMs) on file, or alternatively in the 

case of a Class III carrier (a carrier with 

assets of not more than $20 million in 

1991 dollars), to submit the same 

information in narrative form. The 

information sought in this collection 

identifies all lines in a particular 

railroad’s system, categorized to 

indicate the likelihood that service on a 

particular line will be abandoned and/ 

or whether service on a line is currently 

provided under the financial assistance 

provisions of 49 U.S.C. 10904. Carriers 

are obligated to amend these maps as 

necessary to update the SDM or 

description as line designations change. 

The Board uses this information to 

facilitate reasoned decision making. In 

addition, this information, which is 

available to the public from the carrier 

by request, 49 CFR 1152.12(c)(3), may 

serve as notice to the shipping public of 

the carrier’s intent to abandon or retain 

a line. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA, a Federal agency conducting or 

sponsoring a collection of information 

must display a currently valid OMB 

control number. A collection of 

information, which is defined in 44 

U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c), 

includes agency requirements that 

persons submit reports, keep records, or 

provide information to the agency, third 

parties, or the public. A 60-day notice 

and request for comments regarding the 

collection described above was 

published on Nov. 12, 2009 (74 FR 

58368). Section 3507(b) of the PRA 

requires, concurrent with an agency’s 

submitting a collection to OMB for 

approval, a 30-day notice and comment 

period, through publication in the 

Federal Register, concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension of an 

existing collection of information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with UDOT, 

intends to prepare an EIS on a proposal 

to analyze and address the regional 

transportation connectivity needs on the 

west side of the Salt Lake Valley in the 

area bounded by 6200 South, 4700 

South, Bangerter Highway and Redwood 

Road. 

To provide for local and regional 

travel demands, the regional 

transportation plan developed by the 

local Metropolitan Planning 

Organization, Wasatch Front Regional 

Council (WFRC), has identified the need 

for an improved transportation system 

in the study area. Alternatives under 

consideration include (1) taking no 

action (no-build); (2) transportation 

system management/travel demand 

management; and (3) build alternatives 

to be considered include, but are not 

limited to: (1) A collector roadway 

system; (2) addition of a grade-separated 

interchange at 5400 South and I–215 

and/or improvements to adjacent gradeseparated interchanges; (3) arterial 

roadway capacity and operational 

improvements; (4) transit; (5) 

combinations of any of the above; and 

(6) other feasible alternatives identified 

during the scoping process. 

The public, as well as Federal, State, 

and local agencies, will be invited to 

participate in project scoping to ensure 

that a full range of alternatives is 

considered and that all appropriate 

environmental issues and resources are 

evaluated. The scoping process will 

include opportunities to provide 

comments on the purpose and need for 

the project, potential alternatives, and 

social, economic, and environmental 

issues of concern. Letters describing the 

proposed action and soliciting 

comments will be sent to appropriate 

Federal, State, and local agencies, and to 

private organizations and citizens who 

have previously expressed or are known 

to have interest in this proposal. 

The public will be invited to 

participate in scoping meeting which 

will be held in an open house format at 

locations and dates to be determined. In 

addition, a public hearing will be held 

following the release of the draft EIS. 

The draft EIS will be available for public 

and agency review and comment before 

the public hearing. Public notice 

advertisements, direct mailings, and 

other means of notification will be used 

to notify interested parties of the time 

and place of the public meetings and the 

public hearing. 

To ensure that a full range of issues 

related to the proposed action are 

addressed and all significant issues 

identified, comments and suggestions 

are invited from all interested parties. 

Comments or questions concerning the 

proposed action and the EIS should be 

directed to the FHWA at the address 

provided above by April 1, 2010.
