Title: Uniform Criteria for State 

Observational Surveys of Seat Belt Use. 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0597. 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval: Three years from the 

approval date. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement with 

change of a previously approved 

collection. 

Affected Public: State Governments 

(the 50 States, the District of Columbia, 

Puerto Rico and 4 territories). 

Form Number: N/A. 

Abstract: The Safe, Accountable, 

Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity 

Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU) 

(Pub. L. 109–59) provides that the 

Secretary of Transportation may not 

approve for Section 402 funding a State 

highway safety program which does not 

provide satisfactory assurances that the 

State will implement an annual 

statewide seat belt use survey in 

accordance with criteria established by 

the Secretary to ensure that the 

measurements of seat belt use are 

accurate and representative. In addition, 

in 2008, the National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the 

Governors Highway Safety Association 

(GHSA) partnered to develop a 

voluntary minimum set of performance 

measures to be used by States and 

federal agencies in the development and 

implementation of behavioral highway 

safety plans and programs. Included in 

the set as the core behavior measure is 

B–1, observed seat belt use for passenger 

vehicles, front seat outboard occupants. 

Since the original adoption of seat belt 

observational survey Uniform Criteria in 

1998, NHTSA and the States have 

accumulated substantial experience in 

the design and implementation of these 

surveys. This experience has provided 

insight into factors that could affect 

survey accuracy and reliability. In 

addition, technological improvements 

in road inventories have made it 

possible to select observation sites in a 

more cost effective manner. For these 

reasons, NHTSA proposed to revise the 

Uniform Criteria so that future surveys 

will give States more accurate data to 

guide their occupant protection 

programs. 

The States themselves use the 

information collected in their seat belt 

use surveys to evaluate the effectiveness 

of their occupant protection 

countermeasures programs and to 

identify relatively low seat belt use 

areas and sub-populations requiring 

increased program emphasis. NHTSA 

uses the collected information, pooled 

across the States, to determine the 

relative impact of various 

countermeasures and program strategies 

and to provide guidance to assist the 

States in achieving the highest possible 

seat belt use. NHTSA also uses the 

collected information from individual 

States to identify those whose occupant 

protection programs would most benefit 

from special management reviews, 

countermeasure demonstration projects 

and other forms of technical assistance. 

The information collected for the 

States’ seat belt observational surveys is 

to include a specification of the survey 

design, to be reassessed and, if 

appropriate, updated every five (5) 

years, or earlier if the State so desires. 

The survey design specification will 

include a description of the 

methodology used to select the survey 

observation sites, the selection 

probability of each site, the survey 

observation procedures and protocols, 

observer training and quality control 

procedures. In addition, each State 

annually is to submit the survey results, 

including, for each observation site, the 

number of front seat outboard occupants 

that were observed, the number 

observed to be wearing the seat belt, and 

the site weighting factor used to 

combine the individual site data into 

the measure of statewide seat belt use. 

The notice of proposed rulemaking, 

which included a statement of the 

collection of information and a 60-day 

comment period, was published on 

January 28, 2009. See 75 FR 4509. In the 

preamble to the final rule published on 

April 1, 2011, the agency explained how 

the collection of information contained 

in the final rule responded to any 

comments received from the public. See 

76 FR 18042. The agency also included 

an identification and explanation of any 

modifications made in the rule and why 

it certain comments were not adopted. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

19,040 hours. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 56 

(50 States, District of Columbia, Puerto 

Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the 

Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. 

Virgin Islands). 

ADDRESSES: Send comments, within 30 

days, to the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, 725 17th

Attention NHTSA Desk Officer. 

Comments are invited on: Whether

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed information collection; ways 

to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information
