    Affected Public: Motorists in passenger vehicles at gas stations, 
fast food restaurants, and other types of sites frequented by children 
during the time in which the survey is conducted.
    Form Number: NHTSA 1010.
    Abstract: The National Survey of the Use of Booster Seats is being 
conducted to respond to the Section 14(i) of the Transportation Recall 
Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation (TREAD) Act of 2000. The 
Act directs the Department of Transportation to reduce the deaths and 
injuries among children in the 4-to-8 year old age group that are 
caused by failure to use a booster seat by 25 percent. Conducting the 
National Survey of the Use of Booster Seats will provide the Department 
with invaluable information on who is and is not using booster seats, 
helping the Department better direct its outreach programs to ensure 
that children are protected to the greatest degree possible when they 
ride in motor vehicles. Emergency approval is requested for the survey 
in order to obtain this important survey data as soon as possible, 
saving more children and helping to comply with the TREAD Act 
requirement.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 320 hours.
    Number of Respondents: Approximately 4,800 adult motorists will 
respond to survey questions about the children in their vehicle.
    Comments are invited on: Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Department, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; the accuracy of the Department'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 on respondents, including 
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.
