Administration 

[U.S. DOT Docket No. NHTSA–2010–0038] 

Reports, Forms, and Record Keeping 

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 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), 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 an 

Information Collection Request (ICR) for 

which NHTSA intends to seek OMB 

approval. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before July 12, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments 

to the U.S. Department of 

Transportation Dockets, 1200 New 

Jersey Ave, SE., Washington, DC, 20590. 

Docket No. NHTSA–2010–0038. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Randolph Atkins, PhD, Contracting 

Officer’s Technical Representative, 

Office of Behavioral Safety Research 

(NTI–131), National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey 

Ave, SE., W46–500, Washington, DC, 

20590. Dr. Atkins’ phone number is 

202–366–5597 and his e-mail address is

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, 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 public 

comment on the following proposed 

collection of information: 

Title: Investigate the Use and 

Feasibility of Speed Warning Devices. 

Type of Request: New information 

collection request—debriefing session 

follow-up with participants from an 

earlier on-road instrumented vehicle 

study. 

OMB Clearance Number: N/A. 

Form Number: This collection of 

information uses no standard forms. 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval: September 17, 2011. 

Summary of the Collection of 

Information: In this pilot study, the 

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration (NHTSA) will be 

conducting on-road instrumented 

vehicle data collection in the Rockville, 

MD area with a total of 80 participants 

who have a history of speeding 

violations to examine the impact of invehicle speed warning devices on their 

driving speed patterns and speeding

behavior. Participants will be asked to 

install a speed warning device for eight 

weeks. The device will provide data on 

travel speeds of participants’ vehicle 

coupled with GPS information that is 

linked to a database with speed limits 

for various sections of roads in the study 

area. This data will be automatically 

transmitted from the vehicle to the 

research office for data analyses. After 

completing their on-road phase of the 

data collection, participating drivers 

will be asked to participate in a short 

debriefing interview while the invehicle warning device is removed from 

their vehicle. The debriefing sessions 

will focus on the drivers’ subjective 

experience regarding the speed warning 

device—how it affected their driving 

behavior, any problems experienced 

with the device, how they interacted 

with the device, and their opinion of the 

device, as well as feedback on their 

experience as a participant in the 

research study. This subjective data will 

be coupled with the data from their 

actual driving behavior to help NHTSA 

develop a better understanding of 

speeding and speeders and the potential 

acceptance and effectiveness of using 

speed warning devices as a 

countermeasure to alter the speeding 

behavior of habitual speeders. The 

debriefing sessions are expected to 

provide data relevant to implementation 

issues and concerns associated with the 

device, as well as the key advantages 

and disadvantages associated with the 

use of this device as a countermeasure. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use of the 

Information—The National Highway 

Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 

was established by the Highway Safety 

Act of l970 (23 U.S. C. 101) to carry out 

a Congressional mandate to reduce the 

mounting number of deaths, injuries, 

and economic losses resulting from 

motor vehicle crashes on the Nation’s 

highways. Speeding is one of the 

primary factors leading to vehicle 

crashes. In 2008, 31% of all fatal crashes 

were speeding-related. The estimated 

economic cost to society for speedingrelated crashes is $40.4 billion per year. 

Driving at higher speeds reduces the 

ability of drivers to avoid obstacles or 

react to sudden changes in the roadway 

environment and increases the severity 

of crashes. The pervasiveness of 

speeding behavior is reflected in a 

recent national survey that showed that 

approximately 75% of all drivers 

reported speeding in the past month. Of 

particular concern are the habitual 

speeders and aggressive drivers for 

whom other countermeasures, such as 

enforcement, licenses suspensions, and 

fines, are not effective deterrents. The 

data collected in this study will provide 

NHTSA with important information on 

a countermeasure with the potential to 

address an especially challenging 

segment of the driving population that 

poses an inordinately high safety risk to 

themselves and other drivers who share 

the roads with them. In support of its 

mission, NHTSA will use the findings 

from these debriefing sessions to 

improve current programs, interventions 

and countermeasures for speeding on 

our Nation’s highways in order to 

achieve the greatest benefit in 

decreasing crashes and resulting injuries 

and fatalities, and provide informational 

support to States, localities, and law 

enforcement agencies that will aid them 

in their efforts to reduce traffic crashes. 

Description of the Likely Respondents 

(Including Estimated Number, and 

Proposed Frequency of Response to the 

Collection of Information)—Each of the 

80 participants in the on-road 

instrumented vehicle portion of the 

study will be asked to participate in an 

individual debriefing session while the 

speed warning device is being removed 

from their vehicle. These debriefing 

sessions are expected to begin in 

October 2010 and continue until the last 

participant completes his or her on-road 

portion of the study in March 2011. 

Session participation would be 

voluntary. Participants will be 

compensated with a $150 honorarium 

for data collection, including having the 

device installed on their vehicle. 

Estimate of the Total Annual 

Reporting and Record Keeping Burden 

Resulting from the Collection of 

Information—Each of the individual 

debriefing sessions will last 

approximately 30 minutes, which is the 

approximate time it will take to remove 

the speed warning device from their 

vehicle. Participants will be recruited 

through the MVA or insurance 

companies based on their driving 

history, i.e. participants will have a 

prior history of multiple speeding 

violations. Participants will be stratified 

into 40 male and 40 female participants. 

Half of each gender group recruited will 

be under 30 years of age and the other 

half will be 30 years of age and older. 

The total estimated annual burden is 

approximately 40 hours for the 

debriefing sessions. The respondents 

would not incur any reporting cost from 

the information collection and they 

would not incur any record keeping 

burden or record keeping cost from the 

information collection.

Federal Railroad Administration 

Notice of Application for Approval of 

Discontinuance or Modification of a 

Railroad Signal System or Relief From 

the Requirements of Title 49 Code of 

Federal Regulations Part 236 

Pursuant to title 49 Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) part 235 and 49 

U.S.C. 20502(a), the following railroad 

has petitioned the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) seeking approval 

for the discontinuance or modification 

of the signal system or relief from the 

requirements of 49 CFR part 236, as 

detailed below. 

Docket Number FRA–2010–0023 

Applicant: Union Pacific Railroad 

Company, Mr. William E. Van Trump, 

AVP Engineering — Signal/Comm/ 

TCO, 1400 Douglas Street, STOP 

0910, Omaha, Nebraska 68179. 

The Union Pacific Railroad Company 

seeks approval of the proposed 

modification of the Traffic Control 

System (TCS) at milepost 341.5 on the 

Winnemucca Subdivision, near 

Chilcoot, California. The modification 

consists of the discontinuance and 

removal of three controlled signals: ‘‘R,’’ 

‘‘LA,’’ and ‘‘LB,’’ and the replacement of 

a power-operated switch with a handoperated switch and a leaving signal.
