[U.S. DOT Docket No. NHTSA–01–10911]

Reports, Forms, and Record Keeping

Requirements

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 new procedures

established by the Paperwork Reduction

Act of 1995, 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 one

collection of information for which

NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before February 19, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments

to U.S. Department of Transportation

Dockets, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Plaza

401, Washington, DC 20590. Docket No.

NHTSA–01–10911.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Alan Block, Contracting Officer’s

Technical Representative, Office of

Research and Traffic Records (NTS–31),

National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration, 400 Seventh Street,

SW., Room 6240, Washington, DC

20590.

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:

Buckle Up America Telephone Surveys

2002–2004

Type of Request—New information

collection requirement.

OMB Clearance Number—None.

Form Number—This collection of

information uses no standard forms.

Requested Expiration Date of

Approval—December 31, 2004.

Summary of the Collection of

Information—NHTSA proposes to

conduct telephone surveys both

immediately before, and after, biannual

national mobilizations carried out as

part of the Buckle Up America (BUA)

Campaign. Participation by respondents

would be voluntary. The national

mobilizations are conducted each year

during May and November. The

mobilizations are designed to increase

seat belt and child restraint use through

education and enforcement of restraint

laws. NHTSA would conduct four

survey waves per year over a three year

period beginning in 2002. During each

year, NHTSA would conduct a survey

wave: (1) Immediately preceding the

May Mobilization; (2) immediately

following the May Mobilization; (3)

immediately preceding the November

Mobilization; and (4) immediately

following the November Mobilization.

Each survey wave would be composed

of a national sample of 1200

respondents, as well as multiple

independent State samples of 500

respondents each. An average of 25

independent State samples would be

surveyed per survey wave across the

three year period, producing an average

of 13,700 total interviews per survey

wave. Prior to each mobilization,

NHTSA would select specific States to

be included among the independent

State samples based on mobilization

activities planned within the States. The

surveys would collect information

regarding public awareness of the

mobilization, public perceptions of

enforcement of motor vehicle restraint

laws, public attitudes concerning motor

vehicle restraint use, and the public’s

reported use of motor vehicle restraint

systems.

In conducting the proposed survey,

the interviewers would use computerassisted telephone interviewing to

reduce interview length and minimize

recording errors. A Spanish-language

translation and bilingual interviewers

would be used to minimize language

barriers to participation. The proposed

survey would be anonymous and

confidential.

Description of the Need for the

Information and Proposed Use of the

Information

The National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA) was

established to reduce the mounting

number of deaths, injuries and

economic losses resulting from motor

vehicle crashes. As part of this statutory

mandate, NHTSA is authorized to

conduct research as a foundation for the

development of motor vehicle standards

and traffic safety programs.

Wearing a seat belt is the most

effective action a person can take to

avert death or injury in the event of a

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 243 / Tuesday, December 18, 2001 / Notices 65249

motor vehicle crash. Research has found

that lap/shoulder belts reduce the risk of

fatal injury to front-seat passenger car

occupants by 45 percent and the risk of

moderate-to-critical injury by 50

percent. For light truck occupants, seat

belts reduce the risk of fatal injury by 60

percent and moderate-to-critical injury

by 65 percent.

Buckle Up America (BUA) is a

Presidential Initiative for increasing seat

belt use and child restraint use

nationwide. National goals are to

increase seat belt use to 90 percent by

2005, and reduce child (0–4 years)

occupant fatalities by 25 percent (from

the 1995 number) by 2005. The BUA

strategic plan, developed with input

from both the public and private sectors,

contains four key elements for achieving

the goals: (1) Building public-private

partnerships; (2) enactment of strong

legislation by States; (3) active, high

visibility law enforcement; and (4)

effective public education. Guided by

the strategic plan, the BUA Campaign

carries out regularly scheduled national

mobilizations that combine high

visibility enforcement with education.

The national mobilizations are a

major component of the BUA Campaign.

As such, there is a need to evaluate their

effectiveness. The proposed surveys

would provide pre- and post-test

measures for each mobilization

conducted during the three year period

beginning May 2002. The two measures

would be compared to assess whether

the mobilization activities and messages

penetrated public awareness, whether

the public found the message of

increased enforcement activity credible,

and whether the mobilization affected

attitudes and (self-reported) behavior

concerning restraint use. Many of the

comparisons would need to be made at

the State level because of substantial

differences across States in their

mobilization activities (e.g., intensity of

enforcement efforts, use of media,

publicized support, etc.). NHTSA would

select specific States from which to

draw independent samples based on

their planned mobilization activities.

Description of the Likely Respondents

(Including Estimated Number, and

Proposed Frequency of Response to the

Collection of Information)

Under this proposed effort, a

telephone interview averaging ten

minutes in length would be

administered to randomly selected

members of the general public age 16

and older in telephone households.

There would be a total of 12 survey

waves conducted over a period of three

years (four per year). An average of

13,700 persons would be interviewed

per survey wave. Each survey wave

would be comprised of a national

sample, and multiple independent State

samples. The national sample would be

selected from all 50 States plus the

District of Columbia. The independent

State samples would be composed of

500 persons per State. There would be

an average of 25 independent State

samples per survey wave. Together with

the national sample, there would be an

average of 13,700 interviews per survey

wave. Interviews would be conducted

with persons at residential phone

numbers selected through random digit

dialing. Businesses are ineligible for the

sample and would not be interviewed.

No more than one respondent would be

selected per household. Each member of

the sample would complete one

interview. No respondent would

participate in more than one survey

wave.

Estimate of the Total Annual Reporting

and Record Keeping Burden Resulting

From the Collection of Information

NHTSA estimates that each

respondent in the sample would require

an average of 10 minutes to complete

the telephone interview. The number of

estimated reporting burden hours a year

on the general public (13,700

respondents multiplied by one

interview multiplied by 10 minutes

multiplied by four survey waves) would

be 9,133. The respondents would not

incur any reporting cost from the

information collection. The respondents

also would not incur any record keeping

burden or record keeping cost from the

information collection.
