SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

    Title: An In-Depth Examination of Pedestrian Involved Hit and Run 
Traffic Crashes.
    OMB Number: 2127-New.
    Type of Request: Request for public comment on proposed collection 
of information.
    Abstract: 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 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 standards and traffic safety programs. Between 1998 and 
2007, of the more than 48,000 pedestrian deaths recorded within the 
United States, over 9,000 (19 percent) were caused by hit-and-run 
drivers. The data collected in this survey of drivers, along with 
police crash and court data from 10 counties, will be used to identify 
areas for targeting improvements, identify scenarios in which hit-and-
run collisions are more likely to occur, and assist in the selection of 
cost-effective countermeasures to reduce the incidence of pedestrian 
hit-and-run crashes.
    Affected Public: Individuals.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 855 hours.

ADDRESSES: Send comments, within 30 days, to the Office of Information 
and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725-17th 
Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503, Attention NHTSA Desk Officer.
    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 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.
