DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket No. FRA–2023–0002–N–32] 

Proposed Agency Information 

Collection Activities; Comment 

Request 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of information collection; 

request for comment. 

SUMMARY: Under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its 

implementing regulations, this notice 

announces that FRA is forwarding the 

Information Collection Requests (ICRs) 

summarized below to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and comment. These ICRs 

describes the information collection and 

its expected burden. On August 8, 2023, 

FRA published a notice providing a 60- 

day period for public comment on the 

two ICRs. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on or before 

November 20, 2023. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed ICRs 

should be sent within 30 days of 

publication of this notice to 

www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. 

Find the particular ICR by selecting 

‘‘Currently under Review—Open for 

Public Comments’’ or by using the 

search function. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Arlette Mussington, Information 

Collection Clearance Officer, at email: 

arlette.mussington@dot.gov or 

telephone: (571) 609–1285 or Ms. 

Joanne Swafford, Information Collection 

Clearance Officer, at email: 

joanne.swafford@dot.gov or telephone: 

(757) 897–9908. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA, 

44 U.S.C. 3501–3520, and its 

implementing regulations, 5 CFR part 

1320, require Federal agencies to issue 

two notices seeking public comment on 

information collection activities before 

OMB may approve paperwork packages. 

See 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8 

through 1320.12. On August 8, 2023, 

FRA published a 60-day notice in the 

Federal Register soliciting public 

comment on the ICRs for which it is 

now seeking OMB approval. See 88 FR 

53581. FRA has received no comments 

related to the proposed collections of 

information. 

Before OMB decides whether to 

approve the proposed collections of 

information, it must provide 30-days’ 

notice for public comment. Federal law 

requires OMB to approve or disapprove 

paperwork packages between 30 and 60 

days after the 30-day notice is 

published. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b)–(c); 5 CFR 

1320.12(d); see also 60 FR 44978, 44983, 

Aug. 29, 1995. OMB believes the 30-day 

notice informs the regulated community 

to file relevant comments and affords 

the agency adequate time to digest 

public comments before it renders a 

decision. 60 FR 44983, Aug. 29, 1995. 

Therefore, respondents should submit 

their respective comments to OMB 

within 30 days of publication to best 

ensure having their full effect. 

Comments are invited on the 

following ICRs regarding: (1) whether 

the information collection activities are 

necessary for FRA to properly execute 

its functions, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) the accuracy of FRA’s estimates of 

the burden of the information collection 

activities, including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used to 

determine the estimates; (3) ways for 

FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information being 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of information collection 

activities on the public, including the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

The summaries below describe the 

ICRs that FRA will submit for OMB 

clearance as the PRA requires:

requirements for railroads to meet 

Federal standards for the preparation, 

adoption, and implementation of 

emergency preparedness plans 

connected with the operation of 

passenger trains, including freight 

railroads hosting passenger rail service 

operations. Part 239 also requires each 

affected railroad to instruct its 

employees on the provisions of its plan. 

The information collected is necessary 

for compliance with the regulation.

Please identify the relevant collection of 

information by referring to its OMB 

Control Number. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

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

agency must receive approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) before it collects certain 

information from the public and a 

person is not required to respond to a 

collection of information by a Federal 

agency unless the collection displays a 

valid OMB control number. In 

compliance with these requirements, 

this notice announces that the following 

information collection request will be 

submitted OMB. 

Title: Alcohol-Impaired Driving 

Segmentation Study. 

OMB Control Number: 2127–New. 

Form Number: NHTSA Form 1710, 

NHTSA Form 1711. 

Type of Request: Request for approval 

of a new information collection. 

Type of Review Requested: Regular. 

Length of Approval Requested: Three 

years from approval date. 

Summary of the Collection of 

Information: The National Highway 

Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 

under the U.S. Department of 

Transportation (USDOT), was 

established to reduce the number of 

deaths, injuries and economic losses 

resulting from motor vehicle crashes on 

the nation’s highways. In keeping with 

this mission and to fulfill a 

congressional mandate to improve 

highway traffic safety, NHTSA’s Office 

of Communications and Consumer 

Information (OCCI) is dedicated to 

eliminating risky behaviors on our 

nation’s roads through public awareness 

campaigns. One of the most significant 

NHTSA’s OCCI seeks to address through 

these efforts is drunk driving. 

Drunk driving is a significant cause of 

highway fatalities, injuries and 

economic losses. Alcohol-impaired 

driving fatalities totaled 11,654 in 2020, 

accounting for 30% of all motor-vehiclecrash fatalities.1 On average, in 2020, 

there was an alcohol-impaired driving 

fatality every 45 minutes.2 Among 

motorcycle riders, in particular, 27% of 

riders in fatal crashes were legally 

drunk—a rate exceeding that of 

passenger car drivers (23%) and the 

highest among all vehicle types 

measured.3 Aside from the fatalities, 

alcohol-impaired driving crashes carried 

an economic cost of an estimated $44 

billion in 2010 (the most recent year for 

which cost data is available).4

In order for NHTSA’s public 

awareness campaigns on drunk driving 

to be effective, they must effectively 

‘‘compete’’ for audience attention in the 

public domain among hundreds of other 

major marketers, including those in the 

alcoholic beverage industry that 

strategically target messages to 

particular groups of the public 

marketplace. In the consumer marketing 

context and environment, NHTSA must 

work to convince members of the 

driving/riding public not to operate 

vehicles when impaired by alcohol. 

Accordingly, NHTSA finds that it is 

necessary to conduct research, as 

authorized by the National Traffic Motor 

Vehicle Safety Act, to conduct research 

that will allow NHTSA to better tailor 

its communication strategies. 

Specifically, NHTSA believes a 

segmentation analysis would be 

especially useful to NHTSA. More 

closely understanding and segmenting 

drunk drivers and motorcycle riders 

will enable more effective 

communications programs. Insights 

about drunk drivers’/motorcycle riders’ 

lifestyle characteristics, alcoholconsumption behaviors and attitudes 

towards drunk driving will provide 

useful, pragmatic information for 

NHTSA’s continuing efforts to address 

the drunk driving/motorcycle riding 

issue responsible for so many deaths. 

Accordingly, NHTSA is seeking 

approval to conduct a one-time 

voluntary study to obtain information to 

better understand attitudes and
