NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION 

SAFETY BOARD 

Proposed Information Collection 

Activity: Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: National Transportation Safety 

Board (NTSB). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The NTSB is announcing its 

plan to submit a collection of 

information to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

approval, in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act. This 

information collection is necessary to 

obtain the contact information of family 

members and friends of those persons 

who have been involved in 

transportation accidents, as well as the 

survivors of those accidents, who seek 

to receive periodic updates from the 

NTSB’s Office of Transportation 

Disaster Assistance. This Notice informs 

the public that it may submit comments 

concerning the proposed use of this 

form to the NTSB. 

DATES: Submit written comments 

regarding this proposed collection of 

information by May 29, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Respondents may submit 

written comments on the collection of 

information to the National 

Transportation Safety Board, Office of 

Communications, Transportation 

Disaster Assistance Division, 490 East 

L’Enfant Plaza SW., Washington, DC 

20594. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul 

Sledzik, NTSB Office of 

Communications, Transportation 

Disaster Assistance Division, at (202) 

314–6185. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with OMB regulations that 

require this Notice for proposed 

Information Collection Requests, the 

NTSB herein notifies the public that it 

may submit comments on this proposed 

information collection. 5 CFR 

1320.8(d)(1). Section 1320.8(d)(1) 

requires an agency, prior to submitting 

a collection of information to OMB for 

approval, to ‘‘provide 60-day notice in 

the Federal Register, and otherwise 

consult with members of the public and 

affected agencies concerning * * * [the] 

proposed collection of information.’’ 

Section 1320.8(d)(1) also requires the 

NTSB to solicit comment on any aspect 

of this information collection, 

including: (1) Whether the proposed 

collection is necessary for the NTSB to 

perform its mission; (2) the accuracy of 

the estimated burden; (3) ways for the 

NTSB to enhance the quality, 

usefulness, and clarity of the collected 

information; and (4) ways that the 

burden could be minimized without 

reducing the quality of the collected 

information. The NTSB will summarize 

and/or include your comments in its 

subsequent request for OMB’s clearance 

of this information collection pursuant 

to section 1320.10(a) of title 5, Code of 

Federal Regulations. 

The NTSB will use the form to collect 

email and mailing addresses, as well as 

telephone contact information in order 

to provide information to survivors of 

transportation accidents, family 

members of fatally injured, and friends. 

The NTSB will collect this information 

via a paper copy of the form mailed or 

handed to individuals, or via a PDF 

form transmitted over email. The 

NTSB’s purpose in proposing to use the 

form is to ensure that the NTSB has 

correct contact information for 

survivors, family members of fatally 

injured, and friends to whom the 

Transportation Disaster Assistance 

Division will provide information. The 

form will solicit the following 

information: (1) First and last name of 

family member, friend, or survivor who 

seeks to receive updates; (2) home, 

cellular, and/or other telephone 

number; (3) email address; (4) mailing 

address; (5) victim’s name and 

description of requestor’s relationship to 

victim; and (6) other comments or 

instructions, if desired. 

The NTSB notes that completion of 

the form is voluntary. In addition, the 

NTSB will accept forms that are only 

partially completed; for example, some 

individuals may not wish to include 

their telephone numbers, but will 

include their email addresses. The 

NTSB accepts all forms that contain any 

type of contact information, as the 

NTSB is committed to providing 

information to and coordinating services 

for family members, friends, and 

survivors of transportation accidents. 

Once a person completes the form, the 

NTSB will add his or her name to a list 

of individuals whom the NTSB will 

contact to provide information and 

coordinate services. 

The NTSB has carefully reviewed the 

form to ensure that it has used plain, 

coherent, and unambiguous terminology 

in its request for information. The form 

is not duplicative of other agencies’ 

collections of information. The NTSB 

believes this proposed form, given its 

brevity, will impose a minimal burden 

on respondents: the NTSB estimates that 

respondents will spend, at most, 10 

minutes in completing the form. The 

NTSB estimates that approximately 50 

respondents per year will complete the 

form, but notes that this number may 

vary, given the unpredictable nature of 

the frequency of transportation 

accidents.
