circuit breakers, which provides an 

equivalent level of thermal protection to 

existing thermal circuit breakers, with 

the added ability of detection and 

reaction to arc fault conditions, thus 

diminishing damage to the wiring 

system caused by prolonged arcing 

events. The Arc Fault Circuit Breaker 

thereby diminishes damage to the 

aircraft wiring from the circuit breaker 

to the first serial load element, which 

reduces the potential of igniting 

surrounding material.

Administration 

[U.S. DOT Docket No. NHTSA–2005–22932] 

Reports, Forms, and Recordkeeping 

Requirements 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Request for public comment on 

proposed collection of information. 

SUMMARY: Before a Federal agency can 

collect certain information from the 

public, it must receive approval from 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB). Under procedures established 

by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995, before seeking OMB approval, 

Federal agencies must solicit public 

comment on proposed collections of 

information, including extensions and 

reinstatements of previously approved 

collections. 

This document describes the 

collection of information for which 

NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before February 3, 2006. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments 

to U.S. Department of Transportation 

Dockets, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Plaza 

401, Washington, DC 20590. Docket No. 

NHTSA–2005–22932. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John 

Siegler, PhD., Contracting Officer’s 

Technical Representative, Office of 

Research and Technology (NTI–132), 

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration, 400 Seventh Street, 

SW., Room 5119, Washington, DC 

20590. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

before an agency submits a proposed 

collection of information to OMB for 

approval, it must 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 regulations (at 

5 CFR 1320.8(d)), an agency must ask 

for public comment on the following: 

(i) 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; 

(ii) 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; 

(iii) How to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(iv) How to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including the use 

of appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, and or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. e.g., permitting 

electronic submissions of responses. 

In compliance with these 

requirements, NHTSA asks public 

comment on the following proposed 

collection of information: 

Evaluation Surveys for Impaired 

Driving and Safety Belt Interventions 

Type of Request—New information 

collection requirement. 

OMB Clearance Number—None. 

Form Number—This collection of 

information uses no standard forms. 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval—3 years from date of 

approval. 

Summary of the Collection of 

Information—The National Highway 

Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 

proposes to conduct telephone surveys 

to evaluate interventions designed to 

increase safety belt use and reduce 

impaired driving. Sample sizes would 

range from 200 to 2000 depending on 

the geographic unit being surveyed 

(Nation, Region, State, Community) and 

the evaluation design for the 

intervention (e.g., number of analytic 

groups). Interview length would be 10 

minutes. The surveys would collect 

information on attitudes, awareness, 

knowledge, and behavior related to the 

intervention. The surveys would follow 

a pre-post design where they are 

administered prior to the 

implementation of the intervention and 

after its conclusion. Interim survey 

waves may also be administered if the 

duration of the intervention permits. 

In conducting the proposed surveys, 

the interviewers would use computerassisted 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 

surveys 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. 

The heavy toll that impaired driving 

exacts on the Nation in fatalities, 

injuries, and economic costs is well 

documented. Strong documentation also 

exists to show that wearing a safety belt 

is one of the most important actions a 

person can take to prevent injury or 

fatality in the event of a crash, but a 

significant proportion of the population 

still does not wear them. The 

persistence of these traffic safety 

problems points to a continuing need 

for effective interventions to address 

impaired driving and non-use of safety 

belts. This in turn calls for strong 

evaluation efforts to identify what 

interventions are effective. This 

includes monitoring key interventions 

that have been shown to be effective in 

order to determine whether they are 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 232 / Monday, December 5, 2005 / Notices 72501 

retaining their potency, as well as 

identifying new or refined interventions 

that may influence parts of the 

population that have been resistant to 

previous measures. 

Over the next few years, a number of 

legislative and programmatic changes 

will require NHTSA to collect public 

awareness information about its 

programs. With the introduction of 

SAFETEA–LU, section 157 grants (TEA–

21) will no longer be available to fund 

States’ occupant protection programs. 

As a result, States will have to sustain 

their own high enforcement efforts to 

increase belt use. Public Awareness 

surveys will be needed to determine if 

States are successful in sustaining their 

programs without NHTSA support. 

Under section 410 of SAFETEA–LU, 

spending for State enforcement grants 

for impaired driving programs will 

increase almost 100 million dollars 

annually, from 39.6 million in 2005 to 

$139 million in 2009. States seeking to 

access these grants for specific impaired 

driving activities will need to have 

implemented a number of programs in 

order to be eligible for these grants 

including: statewide checkpoints and/or 

saturation patrols, prosecution/ 

adjudication outreach, increased BAC 

testing of drivers in fatal crashes, high 

BAC law (stronger/additional penalties), 

effective alcohol rehabilitation and/or 

DWI courts, under age 21 program, 

administrative license revocation or 

suspension, and self-sustaining 

programs. It is expected that such 

heightened activity will increase 

drivers’ awareness of these programs 

and reduce incidents of impaired 

driving. Public awareness surveys 

would enable NHTSA to evaluate the 

effectiveness of this increased spending. 

Between 2006 and 2009, SAFETEA–

LU has authorized NHTSA to spend $29 

million annually on National media to 

promote a message of high visibility 

enforcement for both impaired driving 

and occupant protection programs. This, 

coupled with proposed changes in the 

media message for the impaired driving 

program, requires NHTSA to examine 

public awareness of programs to 

determine whether the media messages 

are reaching the target audience. 

In order to reduce the work 

requirements for each State and to 

create sets of survey data that may be 

compared among the States, NHTSA 

will grant one or more separate awards 

to survey firms with expertise in 

conducting random telephone surveys. 

The data will be used to properly plan 

and evaluate enforcement activities 

directed at reducing the occurrence of 

alcohol impaired driving and increasing 

the use of safety belts. Data from 

National surveys will be used to assess 

the overall effectiveness of these 

programs, while State data will assess 

effectiveness of individual State 

programs. States found to have 

implemented effective programs to 

reduce their impaired driving problem, 

and increased their safety belt use, will 

prepare materials that highlight major 

features of their programs to be 

disseminated among States that want to 

implement an improved alcohol 

enforcement program or occupant 

protection enforcement program. 

It should be noted that during the past 

decade NHTSA has conducted surveys 

on attitudes and behaviors on impaired 

driving and safety belt use. These 

surveys were very useful in convincing 

States and communities to adopt more 

effective programs that have raised 

safety belt use rates to record levels and 

initiated a new downward trend in 

impaired driving. Most of these surveys 

were conducted years ago and cannot be 

used to evaluate new programs 

scheduled to be initiated in the next few 

years. 

Description of the Likely Respondents 

(Including Estimated Number, and 

Proposed Frequency of Response to the 

Collection of Information)—Over the 

next 3 years, NHTSA intends to conduct 

National telephone surveys to collect 

data from a total of 21,600 participants. 

For the impaired driving programs, 2 

sets of pre/post intervention surveys, 

each with sample sizes of 1200, will be 

administered annually for 3 years. For 

the Occupant Protection programs, 1 set 

of pre/post intervention surveys, each 

with sample sizes of 1200, will be 

administered annually for 3 years. 

NHTSA may also select certain subgroups to survey, including State, 

Regional, and Community telephone 

surveys to monitor and evaluate 

occupant protection and impaired 

driving demonstration projects. 

Typically, a State demonstration survey 

will require 500 participants. A regional 

demonstration survey can range from as 

few as 200 participants for a small 

county to 2000 participants for a region 

covering more than one State. 

Interviews will be conducted with 

persons at residential phone numbers 

selected using random digit dialing. No 

more than one respondent per 

household will be selected, and each 

sample member will complete just one 

interview. Businesses are ineligible for 

the sample and would not be 

interviewed. After each wave is 

completed and the data analyzed, the 

findings will be disseminated to each 

State for review. 

Estimate of the Total Annual 

Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden 

Resulting From the Collection of 

Information—NHTSA estimates that 

respondents in the sample would 

require an average of 10 minutes to 

complete the telephone interviews. 

Thus, the number of annual estimated 

reporting burden on the general public 

would be 1,200 hours for the National 

surveys and a maximum of 2,800 hours 

for the State and regional demonstration 

surveys, or a maximum of 4,000 hours 

per year for the combined National, 

State, and regional surveys. The 

respondents would not incur any 

reporting or recordkeeping costs from 

the information collection.
