Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information and 

to allow 60 days for public comment in 

response to the notice. This notice 

solicits comments on an information 

collection supporting the development 

of improved child-size crash test 

dummies. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before November 13, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

using any of the following methods. All 

comments must have the applicable 

DOT docket number noted 

conspicuously on them.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501–3520), before an agency 

submits a proposed collection of 

information to OMB for approval, it 

must first 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 regulation (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; 

(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 for public comments on 

the following proposed collection of 

information: 

Title: Pediatric Shoulder Response in 

Frontal Loading. 

Type of Request: New collection. 

OMB Clearance Number: None. 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval: Three years from date of 

approval. 

Summary of the Collection of 

Information: NHTSA proposes to collect 

information from the public to support 

the development of design criteria for 

the mobility of the shoulder of a new 

child-size crash test dummy. Minors age 

8–12 will participate after informed 

consent of the parent/guardian is 

received. After researchers measure the 

participant’s anthropometry (height, 

weight, shoulder landmarks, etc.), the 

participant will undergo a fun, lowintensity exercise activity under the 

direction of the researchers while the 

parent/guardian observes. The activity 

will involve motion of the participant’s 

shoulder while resisting forces are 

collected. The data from all participants 

will then be compiled to develop design 

criteria for the crash test dummy 

shoulder. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use of the 

Information: In the early 2000’s, NHTSA 

evaluated the Hybrid III 10-year-old 

child dummy. While this dummy was 

deemed adequate for the evaluation of 

large child restraints and eventually 

federalized in 2012, one of the 

shortcomings NHTSA identified of the 

child dummy is a shoulder that has very 

little mobility with no interaction with 

the ribcage. In 2011, the NHTSA Vehicle 

Research & Test Center Applied 

Biomechanics Division initiated a 

research program to develop a new 

crash dummy representing a large child 

with improved biofidelity called the 

Large Omnidirectional Child (LODC) 

dummy. NHTSA used pediatric 

biomechanical information from 

literature to guide the design of the 

LODC prototype. However, there was 

very little biomechanical information on 

the response of the pediatric shoulder. 

As the shoulder is a very important 

structure of the body for managing 

interaction of the restraint and body in 

a motor vehicle crash, new 

biomechanical data is needed to guide 

the design of the LODC shoulder. 

Historically, child dummy component 

responses have simply been scaled from 

adult post-mortem surrogate tests. 

However, there is a large body of 

research that has demonstrated that 

children are not simply small adults 

when it comes to behavior in a highspeed crash scenario. Developmental 

anatomy must be considered in addition 

to mass and anthropometry in the 

creation of design targets for child 

dummies.

Because testing of pediatric postmortem surrogates raises ethical 

concerns, researchers are compelled to 

find creative ways to gather 

biomechanical information from living 

children. The historical approach for 

obtaining body region response 

information is to design a fun, lowintensity activity or game where the 

participant movement is captured in 

some manner while resisting forces are 

collected. The forces generated with 

respect to the movements are used to 

develop a ‘‘response target’’ that serves 

as design guidance for the relevant crash 

dummy component. 

Respondents: We estimate that 24 

persons will complete the information 

collection. Respondents will be parents 

of children age 8–12. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: In 

support of this research, it is estimated 

that 24 children age 8–12 will complete 

the activity while the parent observes. 

Estimated Time per Response: The 

child and parent will be required to 

spend roughly 1 hour in the laboratory 

to complete the required steps 

associated with the activity. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden: 24 

hours, or 1 hour per participant. 

Frequency of Collection: The data 

collection described will be performed 

once to obtain the target number of valid 

test participants. 

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