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 November 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.

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: System Analysis of Automated 

Speed Enforcement (ASE) 

Implementation. 

Type of Request: New information 

collection request. 

OMB Clearance Number: N/A. 

Form Number: This collection of 

information uses no standard forms. 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval: September 18, 2013. 

Summary of the Collection of 

Information: A great many enforcement 

strategies are in use to combat speeding 

today. One important approach 

increasingly being used is Automated 

Speed Enforcement (ASE). A number of 

studies have shown the use of speed 

cameras for ASE to be effective in 

reducing traffic speeds. However, 

despite the effectiveness of speed 

cameras programs for ASE, it is often 

mstockstill on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

55628 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 176 / Monday, September 13, 2010 / Notices 

difficult to establish public acceptance 

for these programs and put them into 

place. The objectives of this study are 

to: (1) Determine how the existing speed 

camera programs in the United States 

were developed and implemented; (2) 

Examine other variables that have 

affected these speed camera programs; 

and (3) Determine how all of these 

variables have affected the success of 

these programs. 

This study will conduct a census 

survey of existing ASE programs in the 

United States and gather information 

from each site to address the objectives 

described above. Key personnel in the 

existing programs will be surveyed via 

an emailed questionnaire and by phone. 

This survey is expected to provide data 

relevant to ASE development and 

delivery that may affect the level of 

public acceptance for given speed 

camera programs, as well as their 

success. The variables to be addressed 

include specific target sites for the ASE 

(school zones, work zones, etc.), 

program funding and revenue flow (who 

pays for it and how, who profits from 

revenue, how it is promoted as a 

revenue generator or a safety measure), 

nature of citations issued (cite vehicle or 

cite driver), penalties for violations 

(level of fines, points on license, etc.), 

presence of other automated 

enforcement (red light cameras), level of 

traditional speed law enforcement, 

existence and results of program 

evaluations, media reports and level of 

media exposure, level of public 

acceptance, and the degree to which 

programs were set up and implemented 

according to NHTSA guidelines. 

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 1970 (23 U.S.C. 101) to carry out 

a Congressional mandate to reduce the 

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. 

Given the widespread occurrence of 

speeding and the high toll in injuries 

and lives lost in speed-related crashes, 

as well as the high economic costs of 

speed-related crashes, this is a safety 

issue that demands attention. 

Currently the information on existing 

ASE programs is quite limited. The data 

collected in this study will provide 

NHTSA with important detailed 

information on programs using this 

countermeasure that will assist in 

reducing speeding on our nation’s 

highways. In support of its mission, 

NHTSA will use the findings from this 

survey of ASE programs to help existing 

ASE programs improve their programs, 

and provide new information on this 

countermeasure for speeding that can 

assist other communities in establishing 

well-designed speed management 

programs, including ASE. This 

information is focused on achieving the 

greatest benefit in decreasing crashes 

and resulting injuries and fatalities, and 

providing 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)—According 

to the Insurance Institute for Highway 

Safety, there are currently 58 local 

jurisdictions in 12 States and the 

District of Columbia using speed 

cameras for ASE in the United States. A 

few localities have also discontinued 

ASE programs in recent years. This 

survey will target communities that 

currently have ASE programs and sites 

that recently discontinued ASE 

programs. A few key personnel from 

each of the sites will be contacted to 

complete the survey on their ASE 

programs. This will include an emailed 

questionnaire and phone interviews. 

Participation will be voluntary. As this 

is a census collection of information on 

existing ASE programs and new 

programs are likely to start before the 

data collection effort can go into the 

field, our request includes a projected 

total to account for possible new 

program starts. In addition, as the 

information being collected is intended 

to help future ASE programs, our 

request also includes some programs 

that have discontinued ASE programs. 

We estimate that a maximum of 80 

jurisdictions, including both current 

ASE programs and recently 

discontinued ASE programs may be 

contacted. 

Estimate of the Total Annual 

Reporting and Record Keeping Burden 

Resulting from the Collection of 

Information—The total estimated 

annual burden is approximately 960 

hours for the survey and interviews for 

the 80 jurisdictions combined. We 

estimate approximately 12 hours per 

jurisdiction responding to our request 

for information (80 agencies x 12 hours 

each = 960 hours total). These 12 hours 

will be expended gathering data and 

past reports, writing a response to the 

questionnaire, and speaking with the 

researchers on the phone. Personnel to 

be contacted in each jurisdiction 

include the Chief of Police, a traffic 

unit/ASE unit commander, and a data 

person at each agency. In total, we 

estimate the need to contact a maximum 

total of 320 individuals (80 agencies x 

4 individuals = 320 individuals 

contacted). The respondents would not 

incur any reporting cost from the 

information collection beyond the time 

to respond to the information request 

and they would not incur any record 

keeping burden or record keeping cost 

from the information collection.
