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—Special Study on 18–24 Year 

Old Drivers Involved in Alcohol-Related 

Motor Vehicle Crashes 

Type of Request—New information 

collection request 

OMB Clearance Number—None. 

Form Number—This collection of 

information uses no standard form 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval—3 years from date of 

approval. 

Summary of the Collection of 

Information—NHTSA has been 

particularly concerned with 18- to-24- 

year-old drivers’ propensity for highrisk driving behaviors and 

overrepresentation in impaired driving 

crashes. While data collection efforts 

exist to identify basic demographics and 

some details of crash involvement, there 

is insufficient information to define the 

characteristics, circumstances, and 

patterns of 18-to-24-year-old drivers 

involved in alcohol-related motor 

vehicle crashes. NHTSA needs this 

information to design programs that are 

most likely to affect this age group. 

NHTSA plans to collect and analyze 

information on: (1) Environmental or 

behavioral conditions that may have 

played a role in the cause of the crash, 

(2) whether there is a correlation 

between trip purpose, type, frequency, 

departure, destination, or familiarity of 

location, (3) determine, other than age, 

if there are demographic commonalities, 

(4) determine methods of message 

delivery to be most highly accepted 

among this group. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use of the 

Information—NHTSA was established 

by the Highway Safety Act of 1970 (23 

U.S.C. 101) to carry out the 

Congressional mandate 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 safety 

standards and traffic safety programs. 

Every year, alcohol-impaired driving 

fatalities account for more than 30 

percent of the total motor vehicle traffic 

fatalities in the United States. In 2012, 

10,322 people died in alcohol-impaireddriving crashes. Yearly data from the 

National Center for Statistics and 

Analysis (NCSA) consistently show that 

nearly 30 percent of drivers age 18–24 

involved in fatal crashes are alcohol 

impaired (BAC .08+). In addition, a 

significant amount of research has 

indicated that heavy and binge drinking, 

as well as signs of alcohol dependence 

and abuse, is high among this age group. 

In support of its mission, NHTSA 

proposes to gather information on 

drivers age 18–24 involved in alcoholrelated crashes and the circumstances of 

these crashes. A sample of non-alcoholrelated crashes involving drivers age 

18–24 will also be collected as a 

comparison group. NHTSA is requesting 

approval to gather information through 

the National Center for Statistics and 

Analysis (NCSA) new record-based data 

collection system to be launched in 

January 2016, which will replace the 

National Automotive Sampling System 

General Estimates System (NASS GES), 

and is called the Crash Report Sampling 

System (CRSS). NHTSA would like to 

gather additional information that isn’t 

currently being collected. NHTSA did 

not identify any national databases with 

detailed information on impaired 

drivers age 18–24 and specifically the 

characteristics, circumstances, and 

patterns of being involved in alcoholrelated crashes. 

NHTSA is seeking approval to collect 

data from surviving drivers, who were 

age 18–24 years old at the time of the 

crash, on driver demographics, driving 

behavior, contributing crash factors, and 

other circumstances. If the driver is 

unavailable, NHTSA will collect data 

from surviving passengers of the vehicle 

driven by the 18–24 year old. NHTSA, 

other federal agencies such as the 

National Institute for Alcohol Abuse 

and Alcoholism (NIAAA), state and 

local governments, safety research 

organizations, and universities will use 

the data to design, develop, or 

determine which countermeasures are 

most likely to reduce impaired driving 

among 18 to 24 year olds. The purpose 

of this data collection is to provide 

critical information needed by NHTSA 

to design effective countermeasures that 

meet the Agency’s mandate to improve 

highway traffic safety. 

Description of the Likely Respondents 

(Including Estimated Number, and 

Proposed Frequency of Response to the 

Collection of Information)—The drivers 

and passengers will be identified 

through police reported crashes of 

which there are over 5 million every 

year. From the identified crashes 

involving 18–24 year old drivers, a 

random sample of reported crashes will 

be selected and weighted for a 

geographic representation of the nation. 

Since the data collection effort is 

intended to gather information on 

drivers involved in alcohol-related 

crashes and the circumstances of these 

crashes, a balanced representation of 

non-alcohol and alcohol-related crashes 

are required to make any meaningful 

findings. According to the General 

Estimates System (GES) 2012 file, 1,026 

of 18,566 total drivers ages 18 to 24 

were in alcohol-related crashes. To 

show comparisons and identify patterns 

between drivers involved and not 

involved in alcohol-related crashes at 

significant confidence levels and 

considering a response rate at 10%, 

investigators will need to make 

approximately 4,100 calls for an 

estimated 410 possible completed 

interviews. NHTSA proposes to make 

6,000 contacts to be able to interview 

approximately 600 participants in 36 

months. Participants are the surviving 

drivers and passengers who have 

detailed knowledge of the crash and the 

driver involved. Data will be collected 

by staff contracted to NHTSA under the 

CRSS program. Special investigators 

will use telephone and in-person 

interviews to gather information. 

Investigators may also make contact by 

sending a questionnaire by mail.

Estimate of the Total Annual 

Reporting and Record Keeping Burden 

Resulting from the Collection of 

Information—NHTSA estimates 30 

minutes for each interview for an 

estimated an annual burden of 100 

hours and a total burden of 300 hours 

over a three year period. Based on 

median per capita income, the 

maximum total input cost, if all 

respondents were interviewed on the 

job, is estimated as follows: $22.01 per 

hour × 100 interviewing hours = $2,201 

per year and $6,603 total over a three 

year period. There are no record keeping 

or reporting costs to respondents. All 

responses are provided spontaneously. 

Each respondent only participates once 

in the data collection. Thus there is no 

preparation of data required or expected 

of respondents. Respondents do not 

incur: (a) Capital and startup costs, or 

(b) operation, maintenance, and 

purchase costs for interviewing

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. Inperson 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 alcoholimpaired 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 communitywide 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.
