    Title: Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).
    OMB Number: 2127-0006.
    Type of Request: Continuation.
    Abstract: Under both the Highway Safety Act of 1966 and the 
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, as amended, the 
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has the 
responsibility to collect accident data that support the establishment 
and enforcement of motor vehicle regulations and highway safety 
programs. These regulations and programs are developed to reduce the 
severity of injury and the property damage associated with motor 
vehicle accidents. The Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) is a 
major system that acquires national fatality information directly from 
existing State files and documents. The total user population includes 
Federal and State agencies and the private sector.
    Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 98,655 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 52.
    Comments are invited on: Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Department, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; the accuracy of the Departments 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.
