1The hourly wage is estimated to be $82.83 per 

hour. National Industry-Specific Occupational 

Employment and Wage Estimates NAICS 336100– 

Motor Vehicle Manufacturing, May 2023, https://

www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics4_336100.htm, last 

accessed October 9, 2024. The Bureau of Labor 

Statistics estimates that wages represent 70.2 

percent of total compensation to private workers, on 

average. Therefore, NHTSA estimates the total 

hourly compensation cost to be $117.66. 

Taking into account the universe 

established (59 entities) and those that 

have disseminated a VSSA or suggested 

a web page through the VSSA Index 

(27), NHTSA believes there is a 

potential for another 32 entities to 

publish a VSSA; however, the maturity 

of the entity itself, the development of 

the ADS, and the partnerships 

established within the industry, NHTSA 

does not assume all 32 will develop a 

VSSA over the coming three years. This 

is bolstered by the fact that it has taken 

seven years for dissemination of 27 

VSSAs. 

NHTSA will use the most recent 

three-year average of four VSSAs per 

year for an estimation of VSSA 

dissemination or publication for the 

duration of this information collection 

extension. Therefore, the number of 

respondents annually is four and the 

frequency is once per year. 

Estimating Burden for Each 

Respondent: Components of the 

Voluntary Guidance in ADS 2.0 and 

public disclosure of the VSSA have not 

changed since release in 2017. 

Therefore, these estimates of time to 

summarize how an entity is addressing 

the safety elements remains the same as 

the current information collection. 

NHTSA has not received comments that 

these estimates are erroneous. 

Development of a VSSA is expected to 

involve burden for format, content, and 

summary, varying by safety element. 

NHTSA estimates that each entity will 

spend approximately 600 hours to 

develop and disseminate a VSSA. Table 

2 provides a breakdown of burden hours 

by safety element.

The change reflected in this extension 

is a reduction of 9,600 burden hours 

annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: 

$282,384. 

NHTSA estimates the hourly cost 

associated with preparing VSSAs to be 

$117.66 1 per hour using the Bureau of 

Labor Statistics’ mean hourly wage 

estimate for architectural and 

engineering managers in the motor 

vehicle manufacturing industry 

(Standard Occupational Classification # 

11–9041). Therefore, the estimated 

annual burden to each respondent is 

$70,596 (600 hours × $117.66). 

Therefore, the annual estimated labor 

costs to all respondents to this 

collection is $282,384. This reflects a 

decrease of $885,936 for labor costs 

annually.
