government actions. The U.S. is 

considering the possibility of expanding 

its existing proposal. 

The United States is also considering 

whether to pursue ratification of the 

Inter-American Convention on the Law 

Applicable to International Contracts 

(known as the Mexico City Convention), 

which was adopted at the Fifth InterAmerican Specialized Conference on 

Private International Law (CIDIP–V). 

The United States is exploring the 

process for obtaining official corrections 

to the English text of the Convention to 

conform to the Spanish version. Copies 

of proposed corrections to the English 

text can be obtained through the contact 

points listed below. Other developments 

which may be relevant to work at the 

OAS include the proposal at UNCITRAL 

for future work on on-line dispute 

resolution and the establishment by the 

Permanent Bureau of the Hague 

Conference on Private International Law 

of an experts group to consider 

development of a non-binding 

instrument on choice of law in 

international commercial contracts.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration 

[U.S. DOT Docket No. NHTSA–2010–0037] 

Reports, Forms, and Record Keeping 

Requirements 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Request for public comment on 

proposed collection of information. 

SUMMARY: Before a Federal agency can 

collect certain information from the 

public, it must receive approval from 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB). Under procedures established 

by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), before seeking 

OMB approval, Federal agencies must 

solicit public comment on proposed 

collections of information, including 

extensions and reinstatements of 

previously approved collections. 

This document describes an 

Information Collection Request (ICR) for 

which NHTSA intends to seek OMB 

approval. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before June 1, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments 

to the U.S. Department of 

Transportation Dockets, 1200 New 

Jersey Ave., SE., Washington, DC 20590. 

Docket No. NHTSA–2010–0037. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Randolph Atkins, Ph.D., Contracting 

Officer’s Technical Representative, 

Office of Behavioral Safety Research 

(NTI–131), National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey 

Ave., SE., W46–500, Washington, DC 

20590. Dr. Atkins’ phone number is 

202–366–5597 and his e-mail address is 

randolph.atkins@dot.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

before an agency submits a proposed 

collection of information to OMB for 

approval, it must publish a document in 

the Federal Register providing a 60-day 

comment period and otherwise consult 

with members of the public and affected 

agencies concerning each proposed 

collection of information. The OMB has 

promulgated regulations describing 

what must be included in such a 

document. Under OMB’s regulations (at 

5 CFR 1320.8(d)), an agency must ask 

for public comment 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 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

(iii) How to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(iv) How to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including the use 

of appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

In compliance with these 

requirements, NHTSA asks public 

comment on the following proposed 

collection of information: 

Title: Motivations for Speeding. 

Type of Request: New information 

collection request—focus group followup with participants from an earlier onroad instrumented vehicle study. 

OMB Clearance Number: N/A. 

Form Number: This collection of 

information uses no standard forms. 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval: September 3, 2011. 

Summary of the Collection of 

Information: In Phase 1 of this study, 

the National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration (NHTSA) conducted onroad instrumented vehicle data 

collection in Seattle, WA and College 

Station, TX with a total of 167 

participants to examine driving speed 

patterns with the goals of understanding 

motivations for speeding. Based on 

speeding patterns in the data from the 

instrumented vehicle phase of this 

study, NHTSA plans to follow-up with 

these same subjects in focus groups in 

Phase 2 of the research to develop a 

better understanding of speeding and 

speeders, to develop a more accurate 

taxonomy of high/low speed driver 

subgroups and to gain a better 

understanding of the motives—as well 

as attitudes and habits—of these 

subgroups, and explore attitudes and 

behavioral influences pertinent to 

various countermeasures (e.g., points 

reduction courses, speed awareness 

courses, engineering countermeasures, 

and automated enforcement) and the 

acceptance and potential effectiveness 

of the countermeasures. The focus 

groups will include: general discussions 

of speed choices and speeding behaviors 

and the factors that influence them, 

discussions of beliefs and attitudes 

toward speeding, reactions to and 

discussions about specific driving 

scenarios, and individual/group 

responses to various speeding 

countermeasures. The focus groups are 

expected to provide data relevant to 

descriptions of key motivations, 

attitudes, normative commitment to 

law, driving habits relevant to speeding 

and speeding countermeasures; 

descriptions of countermeasures with 

the greatest likely benefits; 

implementation issues and concerns 

associated with the countermeasures; 

and key advantages and disadvantages 

associated with various 

countermeasures. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use of the 

Information—The National Highway 

Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 

was established by the Highway Safety 

Act of l970 (23 U.S.C. 101) to carry out 

a Congressional mandate to reduce the 

mounting number of deaths, injuries, 

and economic losses resulting from 

motor vehicle crashes on the Nation’s 

highways. Speeding is one of the 

primary factors leading to vehicle 

crashes. In 2008, 31% of all fatal crashes 

were speeding-related. The estimated 

economic cost to society for speedingrelated crashes is $40.4 billion per year. 

Driving at higher speeds reduces the 

ability of drivers to avoid obstacles or 

react to sudden changes in the roadway 

environment and increases crash 

severity. The pervasiveness of speeding 

behavior is reflected in a recent national 

survey that showed that approximately 

75% of all drivers reported speeding in 

the past month. Since most drivers often 

do not see speeding as risky or 

dangerous behavior, it is imperative that 

NHTSA gain a better understanding of 

the motivations for speeding behaviors 

in order to develop and refine effective 

interventions and countermeasures. 

These focus groups, directly linked to 

the driving speed patterns of drivers in 

Phase 1 of the study, will provide 

important new information on the 

reasons drivers choose to drive at 

certain speeds and what
