5 2020 Alcohol Impaired Driving (Traffic Safety 

Facts. Report No. DOT HS 813 294). 

behaviors related to alcohol-impaired 

driving that will be used to enhance and 

refine communication strategy and 

tactics (i.e., more effectively target and 

message at-risk drivers and motorcycle 

riders). The study will survey drivers 

and motorcycle riders ages 21- to 54- 

years-old because this age range 

represents the greatest number of 

alcohol-related driving/riding fatalities 

according to NHTSA’s Fatality Analysis 

Reporting System (FARS).5

The research study will include two 

components, both being one-time 

collections. The first component will 

involve a series of online webcam 

interviews that will collect qualitative 

information that will serve as a 

cognitive test to improve the 

quantitative survey that will be 

administered in the second component. 

The quantitative survey will be 

administered online and by phone (and 

potentially supplemented by mail if 

needed). After collecting the data, 

segmentation analysis will be done to 

classify drivers and motorcycle riders 

according to segments based on 

common demographics, drinking 

behaviors, attitudes about drinking and 

driving/motorcycle riding, and lifestyle 

characteristics. The segmentation 

profiles will be used by NHTSA’s Office 

of Communications and Consumer 

Information (OCCI) to better target and 

reach intended audiences with 

communications messages and 

techniques that are relevant and 

meaningful to people within the target 

market.

they are taking to decrease this behavior 

on US roadways. NHTSA looks forward 

to completing this study, sharing the 

results, and having discussions with 

both NAMIC and Responsibility.org on 

how we can work together to decrease 

impaired-driving crashes, injuries and 

fatalities in the US.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: 38 U.S.C. 5902; 38 CFR 

14.628. 

Title: Requirements for Recognition as 

a VA Accredited Organization. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0850. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: In order for an organization 

to provide representation to claimants 

before VA regarding claims for VA 

benefits, the organization must be 

recognized by VA for that purpose. 

Section 5902(a) of title 38, United States 

Code, authorizes VA to recognize 

organizations for the limited purpose of 

ensuring competent representation of 

veterans in claims for benefits 

administered by VA. VA implemented 

this authority in 38 CFR 14.628. An 

organization must apply for VA 

recognition, supplying information as 

specified in section 14.628 to 

demonstrate that it satisfies the legal 

requirements for recognition. 

(Organizations may provide services to 

veterans without VA recognition if the 

services do not include the preparation, 

presentation, and prosecution of claims 

for VA benefits.) The information 

submitted by the organizations in 

conjunction with a request for 

recognition is used by VA in reviewing 

accreditation applications to determine 

whether organizations meet the 

requirements for VA recognition under 

section 14.628. VA relies on this 

information to ensure that it is granting 

recognition only to organizations that 

can provide long-term, competent 

representation to VA claimants. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. The Federal Register 

Notice with a 60-day comment period 

soliciting comments on this collection 

of information was published at: Vol. 

88, No. 155, Monday, August 14, 2023, 

page 55124 (88 FR 55124).
