SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

    Title: Evaluation Surveys for Impaired Driving and Safety Belt 
Interventions.
    OMB Number: 2127-0646.
    Type of Request: Revision of the previously approved collection of 
information.
    Abstract: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 
proposes to conduct a series of telephone surveys that will examine the 
effectiveness of multiple National and State Click It or Ticket 
mobilizations and impaired driving crackdowns designed to curb impaired 
driving and/or raise belt use. The National and State telephone surveys 
would be conducted during the mid 2008-mid 2011 time period. Since 
Congress has authorized NHTSA to spend millions of dollars annually to 
conduct National and State mobilizations, NHTSA must account for 
whether these initiatives were effective. The National telephone 
surveys will be administered to randomly selected samples of 1,600 
persons age 18 and older. State surveys will be administered according 
to media markets where paid media was purchased and can range from as 
few as 400 participants per media market surveyed in a State. An 
essential part of this evaluation effort is to compare baseline and 
post-intervention measures of attitudes, intervention awareness, and 
(relevant) self-reported behavior to determine if the interventions 
were associated with changes on those indices.
    Affected Public: Randomly selected members of the general public in 
telephone households.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 27,467 hours (164,800 interviews 
averaging 10 minutes each).
    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. A Comment to OMB is most effective if OMB 
receives it within 30 days of publication.

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A).
