SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Mariner Survey Pre-Test. 

OMB Control Number: 2133–NEW. 

Type of Request: New information 

collection request. 

Abstract: The Maritime 

Administration intends to conduct a 

Pre-Test for a survey of individuals who 

hold appropriate merchant mariner 

credentials issued by the U.S. Coast 

Guard. This voluntary Mariner Survey 

Pre-Test information collection is 

limited to cognitive interviews and a 

pilot survey of a sample of credentialed 

U.S. merchant mariners to validate and 

improve the design of a questionnaire 

and other components for a subsequent 

full Mariner Survey. Cognitive 

interviews will be conducted either 

online or over telephone; pilot survey 

responses will be primarily conducted 

online, with a mail survey option. 

Upon completion of this Pre-Test 

collection and analysis, MARAD 

intends to request separate approval for 

the full biennial Mariner Survey of all 

appropriately credentialed U.S. 

merchant mariners to determine the 

number of qualified mariners who are 

available and willing to serve on short 

notice on U.S. government-owned 

sealift ships or commercial ships during 

a period of national need. The most 

recent survey of this scope was 

completed in 2002. The availability of a 

reliable, current estimate on the number 

of mariners willing to serve in times of 

war, armed conflict, or national 

emergency is critical to the U.S. national 

security. 

Respondents: Individuals who hold 

appropriate merchant mariner 

credentials issued by the U.S. Coast 

Guard. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

Households. 

Total Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 690 (40 cognitive 

interviews; 650 pilot survey 

respondents). 

Frequency of Collection: One-time. 

Estimated Times per Respondent: 45 

minutes for cognitive interviews; 20 

minutes for pilot survey. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 247.

Control Number. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), 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: (a) 

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; 

(b) 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; 

(c) how to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) 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 for which the 

agency is seeking approval from OMB. 

Title: Investigation-Based Crash Data 

Studies. 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0706. 

Form Number(s): Form 1278 and 

1280. 

Type of Request: Request for 

extension with modification of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Type of Review Requested: Regular. 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval: 3 years from date of approval. 

Summary of the Collection of 

Information: 

NHTSA is authorized, under 49 

U.S.C. 30182 and 23 U.S.C. 403 to 

collect data on motor vehicle traffic 

crashes to aid in the identification of 

issues and the development, 

implementation, and evaluation of 

motor vehicle and highway safety 

countermeasures. For decades, NHTSA 

has been investigating crashes and 

collecting crash data through its 

Investigation-Based Crash Data Studies, 

namely the Crash Investigation 

Sampling System (CISS), Special Crash 

Investigation (SCI), and specific issuebased Special Study data collection 

studies. Although each of these systems 

satisfy different purposes and collect 

data in different manners, they all 

utilize the same core variables (e.g., 

forms), procedures and protocols for 

data collection. 

NHTSA is seeking approval to modify 

the existing information collection to: 

(a) Increase the number of crashes 

investigated by the crash technicians for 

2021 and future years, (b) add Special 

Study cases into this package, and (c) 

add Special Crash Investigation cases 

into this package. NHTSA has also 

adjusted estimates to include the burden 

incurred by tow yards, hospitals, and 

law enforcement agencies in responding 

to the collections. The combined impact 

is a increase of 1,407 burden hours to 

NHTSA’s overall total. 

The CISS is a nationally 

representative sample of passenger 

vehicle crashes which focus on detailed 

investigation of passenger vehicle 

crashes. It provides nationally 

representative data on fatal and nonfatal 

motor vehicle crashes for use in 

developing and evaluating federal motor 

vehicle safety standards and other safety 

countermeasures. The CISS began 

implementation in 2015 and by 2018 

was collecting crash data from thirtytwo (32) fully operational sites. The 

CISS collects data at both the crash level 

through scene analysis and vehicle level 

through vehicle damage assessment 

together with injury source evidence 

and standardized coding. 

The SCI Program is used to provide 

NHTSA with the most in-depth and 

detailed level of crash investigation data 

collected by the Agency. Generally, SCI 

investigations are conducted for crashes 

of special interest, such as those 

involving new or emerging safety 

technologies (e.g., those involving 

vehicles equipped with crash avoidance 

technologies or Automated Driving 

Systems (ADS)), school buses, 

motorcoaches, alternative fuel and 

hybrid vehicles, adaptive control 

equipped vehicles, fires, child 

restraints, and those relevant to safety 

defect investigations. The crash 

investigations are conducted to 

document crash circumstances, identify 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 17 / Wednesday, January 26, 2022 / Notices 4101 

injury sources, evaluate safety 

countermeasure effectiveness and 

support Agency rulemaking actions. 

Investigations are also conducted to 

provide early detection of alleged or 

potential vehicle safety defects. Reports 

are generated from investigations and all 

are made available to the public. The 

crashes chosen for SCI investigation 

may be chosen throughout the year as 

they arise, or be part of a planned effort 

to look into a particular type of crash 

(such as crashes involving air bag 

deployment-related fatalities and 

injuries). 

In addition to the above-referenced 

CISS and SCI data collections, NHTSA 

also conducts investigation-based 

special studies using the CISS and SCI 

infrastructure to answer questions on a 

specific topical aspect of vehicle and 

highway safety. In the special study 

cases, data is typically gathered 

remotely where documents and 

investigation details are requested from 

investigating agencies and the data is 

compiled, coded, and reported on 

collectively in a summary report 

detailing the issue. These special 

studies will utilize the same 

infrastructure CISS and SCI, as well as 

the same core variables (e.g., forms) and 

procedures and protocols. The cases 

may be selected from an agency’s data 

set (i.e., CISS, SCI, or Fatality Analysis 

Reporting System (FARS)) or through 

other means (i.e., internet searches, 

news articles, and public notification). 

The cases may or may not be selected 

to provide a nationally-representative 

sample of crashes. In the past, using the 

National Automotive Sampling SystemCrashworthiness Data System (NASS– 

CDS) infrastructure, NHTSA conducted 

several investigation-based special 

studies, including studies on child 

occupant protection, air bag 

effectiveness, and pedestrian safety 

among others. NASS–CDS, operated 

from 1979 through 2015, and was the 

predecessor to CISS. Three currentlyplanned special studies will collect 

information on crashes that involve 

medium-duty trucks (trucks between 

10,001 and 26,000 lbs.), pedestrians or 

pedalcyclists, and first responders or 

construction or maintenance workers 

struck while performing official duties 

on the road. 

NHTSA will also use the information 

collected through the CISS 

infrastructure to support NHTSA’s NonTraffic Surveillance (NTS). CISS 

Technicians review over a hundred and 

fifty thousand crash reports each year, 

and some of these reports are not 

applicable to the CISS program, but they 

may be applicable to the NTS data 

collection. NTS is a virtual data 

collection system designed to provide 

counts and details regarding fatalities 

and injuries that occur in non-traffic 

crashes and in non-crash incidents. 

Non-traffic motor vehicle crashes are a 

class of crashes that occur off the public 

trafficways. These crashes, subsequently 

referred to as ‘‘non-traffic crashes,’’ are 

mostly single-vehicle crashes on private 

roads, two vehicle crashes in parking 

facilities, or collisions with pedestrians 

in driveways. In addition, there are nontraffic incidents such as a vehicle falling 

on a person underneath or an 

unintentional carbon monoxide 

poisoning inside the vehicle. Non-traffic 

crash data is obtained through NHTSA’s 

CISS, SCI, Crash Reporting Sampling 

System (CRSS), and FARS. 

For the standard investigation-based 

crash data studies acquisition process, 

once a crash has been selected for 

investigation, crash technicians locate, 

visit, measure, and photograph the crash 

scene; locate, visit, inspect, and 

photograph involved vehicle(s); conduct 

a telephone or personal interview with 

the involved individuals or a surrogate 

(another person who can provide 

occupant or crash information, such as 

parents for a minor or parent or spouse 

for a deceased individual); and obtain 

and record crash injury information 

received from various medical data 

sources. These data are used to describe 

and analyze circumstances, 

mechanisms, and consequences of a 

cross section of towed, light passenger 

motor vehicle crashes in the United 

States. The collection of interview data 

aids in this effort. 

For the special studies, the data is 

typically gathered following similar 

procedures, but is targeted to a specific 

issue (e.g., child occupant protection, 

crash causation factors) as opposed to 

an entire investigation. Special Studies 

investigations also typically only 

involve obtaining information from law 

enforcement, who provide access to and 

a copy of the crash report where the 

data is not electronic. They do not 

involve interviewing people involved in 

crashes, obtaining medical records or 

inspecting the vehicles. Each special 

study has specific requirements (i.e., 

types of crashes and/or data collected); 

however, the gathering of crash reports 

for these studies is similar to the 

gathering of crash reports in the CISS 

and SCI programs. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use of the 

Information 

NHTSA investigates real-world 

crashes and collects detailed crash data 

through CISS, SCI, and Special Studies 

data collection programs to identify the 

primary factors related to the source of 

crashes and their injury outcomes. 

These detailed factors are utilized to 

develop and evaluate effective safety 

countermeasures including the 

establishment and enforcement of motor 

vehicle regulations that reduce the 

severity of injury and property damage 

caused by motor vehicle crashes. The 

data collected also give motor vehicle 

researchers an opportunity to specify 

areas in which improvements may be 

possible, design countermeasure 

programs, and evaluate the effects of 

existing and proposed safety measures. 

Burden to Respondents 

NHTSA has provided a description of 

the affected public, estimated number of 

respondents, description of frequency, 

and estimates of the total burden hours 

and costs for each of the three 

Investigation-Based Crash Data 

Acquisition Systems (CISS, SCI, and 

Special Studies) below. In aggregate, 

NHTSA estimates that the total annual 

burden is 7,012 hours and $0. 

Program: CISS 

Affected Public: People involved in 

select motor vehicle crashes, law 

enforcement jurisdictions that provide 

access to and a copy of the crash report 

where the data is not electronic; 

hospitals that provide a copy of the 

injured occupant’s medical treatment of 

injuries; and tow or salvage lot facilities 

that provide access to the storage facility 

to inspect the vehicle. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

13,841. 

Frequency: On Occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 6,736 hours (3,975 + 471 + 170 

+ 1,590 + 530). 

The CISS crash data acquisition 

system includes 5 information 

collections. The first information 

collection covers the collection of 

information from individuals involved 

in crashes via interview. The estimated 

number of interview respondents is 

obtained by multiplying the 

approximate number of crashes 

investigated each year by the average 

number of interviews per crash. Based 

on existing data, each CISS crash 

involves an average of approximately 

2.25 individuals. NHTSA estimates that 

CISS conducts investigations on 5,300 

crashes per year. Therefore, NHTSA 

estimates that there will be 11,925 

respondents per year (5,300 crashes × 

2.25 respondents per crash). 

The respondents are contacted only 

once; however, in rare circumstances 

follow-up questions may be needed to 

clarify data. The interview requires 

approximately 20 minutes of a 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
4102 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 17 / Wednesday, January 26, 2022 / Notices 

respondent’s time on average. CISS 

conducts interviews for approximately 

5,300 crashes per year, which NHTSA 

estimates takes about 45 minutes per 

crash (2.25 respondents × 20 minutes). 

Therefore, the estimated total annual 

burden hours for the collection of 

information from individuals involved 

in crashes for CISS is 3,975 hours 

((5,300 crashes × 45 minutes) ÷ 60 

minutes/hour). 

In addition to interviews, crash 

technicians and investigators must 

obtain official records to initiate and 

complete the cases. These records 

include police crash reports and 

medical records. The second 

information collection under CISS is for 

the collection of crash records from 

sampled police jurisdictions. NHTSA 

estimates that there are 181 sample 

police jurisdictions annually. To 

estimate the burden to sampled police 

jurisdictions, NHTSA multiplied the 

average number of visits per year by the 

average burden per visit and the number 

of police jurisdictions. On average, each 

of the 181 sampled police jurisdictions 

are queried weekly (or 52 times per 

year) and each query is estimated to take 

3 minutes. Accordingly, NHTSA 

estimates the total annual burden for 

sampled police jurisdictions to be 2.6 

hours per respondent (3 minutes × 52 

visits) and 471 hours for all respondents 

(2.6 hours × 181 police jurisdictions = 

470.6 hours). 

The third information collection 

under CISS is for the collection of crash 

records from non-sampled police 

jurisdictions. Based on existing CISS 

data, there are 340 non-sampled 

jurisdictions annually. To estimate the 

burden to non-sample police 

jurisdictions, NHTSA multiplied the 

average number of visits per year by the 

average burden per visit and the number 

of non-sampled police jurisdictions. On 

average, each of the 340 non-sampled 

police jurisdictions are visited twice 

annually and each query is estimated to 

take 15 minutes. Accordingly, NHTSA 

estimates the total burden for nonsampled police jurisdictions to be 30 

minutes per respondent (15 minutes × 2 

visits) and 170 hours for all respondents 

((30 minutes × 340 non-sampled police 

jurisdictions) ÷ 60 minutes/hour) = 170 

hours). 

The fourth information collection 

under CISS is for the collection of 

medical records from hospitals. Based 

on existing data, CISS collects an 

average of 9,540 records each year from 

an average of 275 hospitals. NHTSA 

estimates that a hospital spends 10 

minutes for each record requested. 

Accordingly, NHTSA estimates the total 

annual burden to be 1,590 hours ((9,540 

records × 10 minutes) ÷ 60 minutes/ 

hour) and estimates that each hospital 

will, on average, spend 5.78 hours 

providing the requested information 

each year (1,590 hours ÷ 275 hospitals). 

The fifth information collection under 

CISS is for the collection from tow yards 

necessary to gain access to and locate a 

vehicle that was involved in a crash. 

Typically, a tow facility operator just 

needs to give the crash technician 

permission to enter the yard to inspect 

the vehicle and involves approximately 

5 minutes of staff time. CISS data shows 

an average of 6,360 visits to tow 

facilities per year, and NHTSA estimates 

1,120 tow facilities will be visited 

annually. Accordingly, NHTSA 

estimates the total annual burden to be 

530 hours ((6,360 visits × 5 minutes) ÷ 

60 minutes/hour) and estimates that 

each tow facility will, on average, spend 

28.39 minutes providing the requested 

information each year ((530 hours × 60 

minutes) ÷ 1,120 facilities). 

Accordingly, NHTSA estimates that 

the total burden associated with the 

CISS data acquisition system is 6,736 

hours (3,975 + 471 + 170 + 1,590 + 530). 

Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: 

$0. 

There are no capital, start-up, or 

annual operation and maintenance costs 

involved in this collection of 

information. The respondents would not 

incur any reporting costs from the 

information collection beyond the 

opportunity or labor costs associated 

with the burden hours. The respondents 

also would not incur any recordkeeping 

burden or recordkeeping costs from the 

information collection. 

Program: Special Crash Investigation 

(SCI) 

Affected Public: People involved in 

select motor vehicle crashes, law 

enforcement jurisdictions that provide 

access to and a copy of the crash report 

where the data is not electronic; 

hospitals that provide a copy of the 

injured occupant’s medical treatment of 

injuries; and tow or salvage lot facilities 

that provide access to the storage facility 

to inspect the vehicle. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

500. 

Frequency: On occasion (typically 

once per year). 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 109 hours (67 + 17 + 17 + 8). 

The SCI crash data acquisition system 

includes 4 information collections. The 

first information collection covers the 

collection of information from 

individuals involved in crashes via 

interview. The estimated number of 

interview respondents is obtained by 

multiplying the approximate number of 

crashes investigated each year by the 

average number of interviews per crash. 

Based on existing data, each SCI crash 

involves an average of approximately 2 

individuals. NHTSA estimates that SCI 

conducts investigations on 

approximately 100 crashes per year. 

Therefore, NHTSA estimates that there 

will be 200 respondents per year (100 

crashes × 2 respondents per crash). 

The respondents are contacted only 

once; however, in rare circumstances 

follow-up questions may be needed to 

clarify data. The interview requires 

approximately 20 minutes of a 

respondent’s time on average. SCI 

conducts interviews for approximately 

100 crashes per year, which NHTSA 

estimates takes about 40 minutes per 

crash (2 respondents × 20 minutes). 

Therefore, the estimated total annual 

burden hours for the collection of 

information from individuals involved 

in crashes for SCI is approximately 67 

hours ((100 crashes × 40 minutes) ÷ 60 

minutes/hour = 66.67). 

In addition to interviews, crash 

technicians and investigators must 

obtain official records to initiate and 

complete the cases. These records 

include police crash reports and 

medical records. The second 

information collection under SCI is for 

the collection of crash records from 

police jurisdictions. The SCI 

investigators contact an estimated 100 

police jurisdictions once per year and 

require approximately 10 minutes of 

staff time per police jurisdiction. To 

estimate the burden to these police 

jurisdictions, NHTSA multiplied the 

average number of visits per year by the 

average burden per visit and the number 

of police jurisdictions. Accordingly, 

NHTSA estimates the total annual 

burden for police jurisdictions to be 10 

minutes per respondent (10 minutes × 1 

query per year) and 17 hours for all 

respondents ((10 minutes × 100 police 

jurisdictions) ÷ 60 minutes/hour = 16.67 

hours). 

The third information collection 

under SCI is for the collection of 

medical records from hospitals. Based 

on existing data, SCI collects an average 

of 100 records each year from 100 

hospitals (1 request per hospital per 

year). NHTSA estimates that a hospital 

spends 10 minutes for each record 

requested. Accordingly, NHTSA 

estimates the total annual burden to be 

17 hours ((100 records × 10 minutes) ÷ 

60 minutes/hour = 16.67 hours) and 

estimates that each hospital will, on 

average, spend 10 minutes providing the 

requested information each year (10 

minutes × 1 record request per year). 

The fourth information collection 

under SCI is for the collection from tow

yards necessary to gain access to and 

locate a vehicle that was involved in a 

crash. Typically, a tow facility operator 

just needs to give the crash technician 

permission to enter the yard to inspect 

the vehicle and involves approximately 

5 minutes of staff time. SCI conducts 

approximately 100 visits to tow 

facilities per year, and NHTSA estimates 

that 100 tow facilities will be visited 

annually (1 request per facility per 

year). Accordingly, NHTSA estimates 

the total annual burden to be 8 hours 

((100 visits × 5 minutes) ÷ 60 minutes/ 

hour = 8.33 hours) and estimates that 

each tow facility will, on average, spend 

5 minutes providing the requested 

information each year. 

Accordingly, NHTSA estimates that 

the total burden associated with the SCI 

data acquisition system is 109 hours (67 

+ 17 + 17 + 8). 

Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: 

$0. 

There are no capital, start-up, or 

annual operation and maintenance costs 

involved in this collection of 

information. The respondents would not 

incur any reporting costs from the 

information collection beyond the 

opportunity or labor costs associated 

with the burden hours. The respondents 

also would not incur any recordkeeping 

burden or recordkeeping costs from the 

information collection. 

Special Studies 

Affected Public: Law enforcement 

jurisdictions that provide access to and 

a copy of the crash report where the 

data is not electronic. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,000. 

Frequency: On occasion (typically 

once per year). 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 167 hours. 

There is only one information 

collection for Special Studies in this 

ICR. This ICR only covers special 

studies involving remote-level 

investigations.1 Accordingly, these 

remote-level investigations do not 

involve interviews of individuals 

involved in crashes, collection of 

medical records from hospitals, or visits 

to tow facilities. Instead, these special 

studies only involve the collection of 

information from police jurisdictions. 

NHTSA estimates that the special 

studies will involve, on average, 1,000 

police jurisdictions each year and 

require approximately 10 minutes of 

staff time per police jurisdiction. The 

total annual hour burden on 

jurisdictions for special studies 

information is estimated to be 167 hours 

(1 visit × 10 minutes × 1,000 

jurisdictions ÷ 60 minutes/hour = 

166.67). 

Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: 

$0. 

There are no capital, start-up, or 

annual operation and maintenance costs 

involved in this collection of 

information. The respondents would not 

incur any reporting costs from the 

information collection beyond the labor 

costs associated with the burden hours. 

The respondents also would not incur 

any recordkeeping burden or 

recordkeeping costs from the 

information collection.
