    Title: Effectiveness of Child Passenger Safety Information for the 
Safe Transportation of Children.
    Form No.: NHTSA Form 1174.
    Type of Review: Regular.
    Respondents: Parents and caregivers of children less than 13 years 
of age will respond to a series of questions after viewing child 
passenger safety messages.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 600 participants will be recruited 
for the testing sessions.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 75 minutes per testing session.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 750 hours.
    Frequency of Collection: The survey will be administered a single 
time.
    Abstract: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 
(NHTSA) proposes to collect information from parents and caregivers of 
children less than 13 years of age about their knowledge, behavior, and 
perceptions of various child passenger safety (CPS) messages. 
Demographic information about the participants will also be collected. 
Participation in the study will be voluntary. Parents and caregivers 
will be recruited at various urban, suburban, and rural locations where 
they often go with child passengers (e.g., child care centers). They 
will be asked to participate in the study which will require them to go 
to a computer lab center, read CPS messages and respond to questions 
about these messages using touch-screen computers to reduce survey 
length and minimize recording errors. No personally identifiable 
information will be collected during the study. NHTSA will use the 
findings from this proposed collection of information to better 
understand how information and perceptions of CPS messages influence 
parents and caregivers to seek the most appropriate restraint systems 
for their children (less than 13 years of age). Findings of the study 
may be used to revise current CPS messages being publicized in the 
nation.

ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding the burden estimate, including 
suggestions for reducing the burden, to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street 
NW., Washington, DC 20503, Attention: Desk Officer for Department of 
Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or by 
email at oira_submission@omb.eop.gov, or fax: 202-395-5806.
    Comments Are Invited On: whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Department of Transportation, including whether the information 
will have practical utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimate 
of the burden of the proposed information collection; ways to enhance 
the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; 
and ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology. A comment to OMB is most 
effective if OMB receives it within 30 days of publication of this 
notice.

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A).
