# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

*OMB Control Number:*                     2127-New.                

*Title:*                     Demonstration Tests of Different High Visibility Enforcement Models.                

*Form No.:*                     NHTSA Forms 1121 and 1122.                

*Type of Review:*                     Regular.                

*Respondents:*                     Telephone interviews will be administered to residents in each of five selected communities who are drivers, age 18 and older, have access to a residential landline and/or a personal cell phone, and have consumed alcohol in the past year. In-person interviews will be conducted in each of the five selected communities at bars or other establishments serving alcohol with patrons age 21 and older.                

*Estimated Number of Respondents:*                     A maximum of 18,000 telephone interviews and 6,000 in-person interviews with patrons of bars or other establishments serving alcohol.                

*Estimated Time per Response:*                     10 minutes per telephone interview and 10 minutes per interview with patrons of bars or other establishments serving alcohol.                

*Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours:*                     4,000 hours.                

*Frequency of Collection:*                     There will be a maximum of three survey waves at each of the five community sites. A telephone survey and a survey of patrons at bars or other establishments serving alcohol will be conducted during each survey wave, with each respondent interviewed once. The drinking establishment interview will be split such that questions will be asked of each respondent both during entry and exit from the establishment.                

*Abstract:*                     Highly visible enforcement (HVE) has had the strongest support in the research literature for effectiveness in reducing alcohol-impaired driving. The unknown at this time is the relationship of the amount of HVE to perceived likelihood within a community of an alcohol-impaired driver being stopped by law enforcement. In particular, does the perceived likelihood increase as the amount of HVE increases? And is the optimum effect on awareness and perceived likelihood achieved through an integrated program where HVE is integrated into regular law enforcement operations? NHTSA proposes to answer those questions by selecting community sites engaging in different levels of HVE activity during a one-year period, and measuring community awareness of those enforcement programs and the perceived likelihood of an alcohol-impaired driver being stopped by law enforcement.                

Data collection to assess program awareness and perceptions of enforcement will be of two forms. Telephone surveys will be conducted in each community, with each survey wave composed of 1,200 completed interviews with drivers age 18 and older who have consumed alcohol in the past year. The second form of data collection will be in-person interviews with patrons at bars or other establishments serving alcohol. The intent here is to collect information on program awareness and perceived likelihood of an alcohol-impaired driver being stopped by law enforcement from a population with a heavier concentration of individuals at-risk of driving at illegal blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) than one would find in a community-wide telephone survey. The drinking establishment surveys will be conducted during the same times of the year as the telephone surveys. Four hundred bar patrons will be interviewed per community per survey wave, with a maximum of three survey waves. Respondents will be asked a few questions both upon entry and exit from the establishment. Breath samples will also be taken. The breath test results will not be available on-site but will be downloaded later.

In conducting the telephone interviews, the interviewers would use computer-assisted telephone interviewing to reduce interview length and minimize recording errors. No personal information will be collected that would allow any respondent to be identified. The data collection at drinking establishments would be anonymous; no personal information that would allow anyone to identify respondents will be collected.
