5The burden associated with § 214.105(c)(4), 

formerly covered under OMB Control No. 2130– 

0535, is now combined with the burden under OMB 

Control No. 2130–0586. 

6For State respondents, the dollar equivalent cost 

is derived from the Bureau of Labor Statistics data 

for management occupations, NAICS 99920—State 

Government, excluding schools and hospitals, for 

State government employees. To calculate the mean 

hourly wage of $46.69 for this category of workers, 

FRA included a 75-percent charge for overhead 

costs. The calculation is $46.69 per hour * 1.75 = 

$81.71. The Web address for this data is: https://

www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics4_999200.htm#11- 

0000. Additionally, for railroad and track owner 

respondents, the dollar equivalent cost is derived 

from the Surface Transportation Board’s 2020 Full 

Year Wage A&B data series for railroad workers. 

The wage rate of $77.44 per hour includes a 75- 

percent overhead charge.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), a Federal 

agency must receive approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) before it collects certain 

information from the public and a 

person is not required to respond to a 

collection of information by a Federal 

agency unless the collection displays a 

valid OMB control number. In 

compliance with these requirements, 

this notice announces that the following 

information collection request will be 

submitted to OMB. 

A Federal Register notice with a 60- 

day comment period soliciting public 

comments on the following information 

collection was published on April 4, 

2022 (Federal Register/Vol. 87, No. 64/ 

pp. 19576–19579). NHTSA received one 

comment and one letter in support. 

Steven Morris provided remarks about 

ebikes, but no mention of the proposed 

survey or general traffic safety. The 

letter in support of the survey was 

submitted by the National Association 

of Mutual Insurance Companies 

(NAMIC). 

Mr. Morris takes issue with the 

prohibition on using ebikes on an Ohio 

National Forest Service bicycle trail 

system. He also supplied a photo of his 

ebike contending that they do no more 

damage than regular bikes to the trails. 

His remarks did not mention the 

proposed survey. In NAMIC’s letter 

addressed to NHTSA Administrator 

Steven Cliff, ‘‘NAMIC supports 

NHTSA’s proposed collection of 

information as necessary and 

appropriate and believes that the 

information surveyed will have 

significant practical utility.’’ They 

further believe that the survey effort will 

provide valuable information to help 

their members work with NHTSA, State 

legislators and regulars, and law 

enforcement agencies to improve 

pedestrian and bicyclist safety. NAMIC 

recognizes the importance of the 

collection citing recent statistics from 

NHTSA and the Governors Highway 

Safety Administration of the rising 

number of vulnerable road user deaths. 

Comments on the proposed 

information collection are appreciated. 

Thank you to NAMIC for providing 

thoughtful commentary as to the 

importance of conducting the National 

Survey of Pedestrian and Bicyclist 

Attitudes, Knowledge, and Behaviors. 

Title: National Survey of Pedestrian 

and Bicyclist Attitudes, Knowledge, and 

Behaviors. 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0684. 

Form Numbers: NHTSA Forms 1148, 

1613, 1614, 1615, 1616, 1617, 1618. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement with 

modification of a previously approved 

information collection (OMB Control 

No. 2127–0684). 

Type of Review Requested: Regular. 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval: 3 years from date of approval. 

Summary of the Collection of 

Information: NHTSA is seeking 

approval to conduct a National Survey 

of Pedestrian and Bicyclist Attitudes,

HS 813 124). National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration. https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/ 

Api/Public/ViewPublication/813124. 

In conducting the proposed research, 

the survey would use computer-assisted 

web interviewing (i.e., a programmed, 

self-administered web survey) to 

minimize recording errors, as well as 

optical mark recognition and image 

scanning for the paper and pencil 

survey to facilitate ease of use and data 

accuracy. A Spanish-language survey 

option would be used to minimize 

language barriers to participation. 

Surveys would be conducted with 

respondents using an address-based 

sampling design that encourages 

respondents to complete the survey 

online. Although web-based 

interviewing would be the primary data 

collection mode, a paper questionnaire 

would be sent to households that do not 

respond to the web invitations. This 

collection only requires respondents to 

report their answers; there are no 

record-keeping costs to the respondents. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use of the 

Information: NHTSA was established by 

the Highway Safety Act of 1970 and its 

mission is to reduce the number of 

deaths, injuries, and economic losses 

resulting from motor vehicle crashes on 

the Nation’s highways. To further this 

mission, NHTSA is authorized to 

conduct research as a foundation for the 

development of traffic safety programs. 

Title 23, United States Code, Section 

403, gives the Secretary of 

Transportation (NHTSA by delegation) 

authorization to use funds appropriated 

to conduct research and development 

activities, including demonstration 

projects and the collection and analysis 

of highway and motor vehicle safety 

data and related information, with 

respect to all aspects of highway and 

traffic safety systems and conditions 

relating to vehicle, highway, driver, 

passenger, motorcyclist, bicyclist, and 

pedestrian characteristics; accident 

causation and investigations; and 

human behavioral factors and their 

effect on highway and traffic safety. 

Pedestrian safety and bicyclist safety are 

two of multiple behavioral areas for 

which NHTSA has developed 

comprehensive programs to meet its 

injury reduction goals. The major 

components of pedestrian and bicyclist 

safety programs are education, 

enforcement, and outreach. 

NHTSA encourages walking and 

bicycling as alternate modes of 

transportation to motor vehicle travel; 

however, pedestrians and bicyclists are 

among the most vulnerable road users. 

Motor vehicle crashes in 2019 

accounted for 6,205 pedestrian fatalities 

and 846 bicyclist and other cyclist 

fatalities.1 That same year, 76,000 

pedestrians and 49,000 bicyclists were 

injured in traffic crashes. Moreover, 

increasing safe walking and bicycling 

behavior is promoted as a positive 

contributor to the quality of life. But an 

increase in walking and bicycling often 

means an increase in exposure to 

potential risk of collision with motor 

vehicles, underscoring the need to have 

in place aggressive pedestrian and 

bicyclist safety programs to reduce 

injuries and fatalities. This in turn 

requires periodic data collection to 

assess whether the programs continue to 

be responsive to the public’s 

information needs, behavioral 

intentions, attitudes, physical 

environment, and other factors that 

contribute to safety while walking or 

bicycling. 

The National Survey of Pedestrian 

and Bicyclist Attitudes, Knowledge, and 

Behaviors was conducted on two 

previous occasions—first in 2002 and 

again in 2012. Those surveys provided 

program planners and community 

leaders with detailed information on 

walking and bicycling behavior, level of 

support for facilities assisting those 

activities and awareness of safety issues. 

Since it has been ten years since 

NHTSA last conducted the survey, the 

information needs updating, especially 

given recent programs and initiatives to 

increase walking and bicycling, as well 

as the emergence of new technologies 

including e-bikes, e-scooters, and fitness 

trackers. This project will provide that 

update by conducting the 2022 National 

Survey of Bicyclist and Pedestrian 

Attitudes and Behaviors. In the 2022 

survey, NHTSA intends to examine the 

extent to which Americans engage in 

walking and bicycling activity, their 

attitudes towards and experience with 

various facilities, road conditions, and 

technologies, and their opinions on 

pedestrian and bicycling safety topics. 

Furthermore, NHTSA plans to assess 

whether self-reported behaviors, 

attitudes, and perceptions regarding 

walking and bicycling have changed 

over time since the administration of the 

prior national surveys. NHTSA will use 

the findings to assist States, localities, 

and communities in developing and 

refining walking and bicycling safety 

programs that will aid in their efforts to 

reduce pedestrian and bicyclist crashes 

and injuries. 

NHTSA will use the information to 

produce a technical report that presents 

the results of the study. The technical 

report will provide aggregate (summary) 

statistics and tables as well as the 

results of statistical analysis of the 

information, but it will not include any 

personally identifiable information. The 

technical report will be shared with 

State highway offices, local 

governments, and those who develop 

traffic safety communications that aim 

to reduce pedestrian and bicyclist 

crashes. 

Affected Public: Participants will be 

U.S. adults (18 years old and older). 

Businesses are ineligible for the sample 

and would not be interviewed. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

7,650. 

Participation in this study will be 

voluntary. For the main survey 

collection, 7,500 participants will be 

sampled from all 50 States and the 

District of Columbia using address data 

from the most recent U.S. Postal Service 

(USPS) computerized Delivery 

Sequence File (DSF) of residential 

addresses. An estimated 22,943 

households will be contacted and have 

the study described to them. No more 

than one respondent will be selected per 

household. 

Prior to the main survey, a pilot 

survey will be administered to test the 

survey and the mailing protocol and 

procedures. Participation in this study 

will be voluntary with 150 participants 

sampled from all 50 States and the 

District of Columbia using address data 

from the most recent USPS 

computerized DSF of residential 

addresses. An estimated 459 households 

will be contacted and have the study 

described to them. No more than one 

respondent will be selected per 

household. 

Frequency of Collection: The study 

will be conducted one time during the 

three-year period for which NHTSA is 

requesting approval, with a small pilot 

study occurring several months before 

the study’s full launch. This study is 

part of a tracking and trending study to 

measure changes over time. The last 

study was administered in 2012. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: NHTSA estimates the total 

burden of this information collection by 

estimating the burden to those who 

NHTSA contacts but do not respond 

(non-responders) and those who 

respond and are eligible for 

participation (eligible respondents or 

actual participants). As virtually all 

households have at least one adult 18 or 

older, all households are eligible to 

participate and, as such, no burden is 

calculated for ineligible respondents. 

The estimated time to contact 22,943 

potential participants (actual 

participants and non-responders) for the 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 116 / Thursday, June 16, 2022 / Notices 36371 

survey and 459 potential participants 

(actual participants and non-responders) 

for the pilot is one minute per person 

per contact attempt. Contact attempts 

will be made in five waves with fewer 

potential participants contacted in each 

subsequent wave. NHTSA estimates that 

7,500 people will respond to the survey 

request and 150 will respond to the 

pilot. The estimated time to contact (1 

minute) and complete the survey (20 

minutes) for 7,500 participants and 150 

pilot participants is 21 minutes per 

person. Table 1 provides a description 

for each of the forms used in the survey 

protocol as well as their mailing wave. 

Details of the burden hours for each 

wave in the pilot and full survey are 

included in Tables 2 and 3 below. When 

rounded up to the nearest whole hour 

for each data collection effort, the total 

estimated annual burden is 4,182 hours 

for the project activities. Table 4 

provides total burden hours associated 

with each form.
