SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Why are 

people still dying in frontal crashes 

despite seat belt use, air bags, and the 

crashworthy structures of late-model 

vehicles? Statistical analyses show the 

combination of seat belt use and air bags 

is highly effective, reducing fatality risk 

by 61 percent compared to an unbelted 

occupant of a vehicle not equipped with 

air bags—but 61 percent is not 100 

percent. To address the question, an 

interdisciplinary NHTSA team reviewed 

every case of a frontal fatality to a belted 

driver or right-front passenger in a 

model year 2000 or newer vehicle in the 

Crashworthiness Data System (CDS) of 

the National Automotive Sampling 

System through calendar year 2007. 

Aside from a substantial proportion of 

these 122 crashes that are just 

exceedingly severe, the main reason 

people are still dying is because so 

many crashes involve poor structural 

engagement between the vehicle and its 

collision partner: corner impacts, 

oblique crashes, impacts with narrow 

objects, and underrides. By contrast, few 

if any of these 122 fatal crashes were 

full-frontal or offset-frontal impacts with 

good structural engagement, unless the 

crashes were of extreme severity or the 

occupants exceptionally vulnerable.

Background 

The Kingpin Act became law on 

December 3, 1999. The Kingpin Act 

establishes a program targeting the 

activities of significant foreign narcotics 

traffickers and their organizations on a 

worldwide basis. It provides a statutory 

framework for the President to impose 

sanctions against significant foreign 

narcotics traffickers and their 

organizations on a worldwide basis, 

with the objective of denying their 

businesses and agents access to the U.S. 

financial system and to the benefits of 

trade and transactions involving U.S. 

companies and individuals. 

The Kingpin Act blocks all property 

and interests in property, subject to U.S. 

jurisdiction, owned or controlled by 

significant foreign narcotics traffickers 

as identified by the President. In 

addition, the Secretary of the Treasury 

consults with the Attorney General, the 

Director of the Central Intelligence 

Agency, the Director of the Federal 

Bureau of Investigation, the 

Administrator of the Drug Enforcement 

Administration, the Secretary of 

Defense, the Secretary of State, and the 

Secretary of Homeland Security when 

designating and blocking the property 

and interests in property, subject to U.S. 

jurisdiction, of persons who are found 

to be: (1) Materially assisting in, or 

providing financial or technological 

support for or to, or providing goods or 

services in support of, the international 

narcotics trafficking activities of a 

person designated pursuant to the 

Kingpin Act; (2) owned, controlled, or 

directed by, or acting for or on behalf of, 

a person designated pursuant to the 

Kingpin Act; or (3) playing a significant 

role in international narcotics 

trafficking. 

On October 14, 2009, OFAC 

designated three individuals whose 

property and interests in property are 

blocked pursuant to section 805(b) of 

the Kingpin Act. 

The list of additional designees is as 

follows:
