SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA)

Title: 1998 Motor Vehicle Occupant

Safety Survey.

OMB Control Number: 2127—New.

Type of Request: New collection.

Form(s): DTHH22–98–R–05080.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households.

Abstract: NHTSA proposes to conduct

a 1998 Motor Vehicle Occupant Safety

Survey by telephone among a national

probability sample of 8,000 adults (age

16 and older). Participation by

respondents would be voluntary.

NHTSA’s information needs require seat

belt and child safety seat sections too

large to merge into a single survey

instrument without producing an

inordinate burden on respondents.

Rather than reduce these sections, the

proposed survey instrument would be

divided into two series of modules.

Each module would be administered to

one-half the total number of subjects to

be interviewed. Module Series #1 of the

questionnaire would focus on seat belts

and include smaller sections on air bags,

motorcyclist safety, and general driving

(including speed). Module Series #2

would focus on child safety seats,

accompanied by smaller sections on

bicyclist safety and Emergency Medical

Services. Both series would contain

sections on crash injury experience, and

on drinking and driving because of the

extensive impact of alcohol on the

highway safety problem. Some basic

seat belt questions contained in Module

Series #1 would be duplicated on

Module Series #2. In conducting the

proposed survey, the interviewers

would use computer-assisted telephone

interviewing to reduce interview length

and minimize recording errors. A

Spanish-language translation and

bilingual interviewers would be used to

minimize language barriers to

participation. The proposed survey

would be anonymous and confidential.

Description of the Need for the

Information and Proposed Use of the

Information—The National Highway

Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)

was established to reduce the mounting

number of deaths, injuries and

economic losses resulting from motor

vehicle crashes on the Nation’s

highways. As part of this statutory

mandate, NHTSA is authorized to

conduct research as a foundation for the

development of motor vehicle standards

and traffic safety programs.
