1. This ICR revises information that has been collected in 2127-0627 (on alcohol-impaired driving) and in 2127-0615 (on seat belt use). It also adds other collections. 2. Because of the clearance conditions below, approval is for two years. 3. Since households with only a cell phone cannot be sampled with the current design, DOT shall continue to assess potential solutions to this problem. The next extension or revision of this collection shall report on progress. 4. DOT has agreed to continue to examine potential non-response bias and to report its findings to OMB. They have also agreed th at reports of survey results shall note both sampling and non- sampling error. 5. Because of the sensitive nature of asking survey respondents about driving after having too much to drink, DOT is strongly en- couraged to explore the use of innovative techniques to ask such sensitive questions, such as Telephone Computer-Assisted Self Interviews (T-CASI) and Interactive Voice Response (IVR). OMB will provide expedited review for tests of such innovative tech- niques. 6. The National Surveys are approved as specified. 7. The State Surveys are given GENERIC CLEARANCE, which requires approval of specific instances of these types of surveys. Each survey instance shall, for approval, be specified to include: (1) the exact questionnaire to be used; (2) designated survey popula- tion and sampling design; (3) whether or not the sample will be s tratified and, if so, how; (4) specific sample sizes; (5) the scheduling of each survey instance; (6)the goals of each survey instance; and (7) how the data will be analyzed. OMB will re- view the complete specification of each survey instance within 15 business days. 8. The Regional Demonstrations (also referred to as Demonstratio n Surveys) are also given GENERIC CLEARANCE, under the same de- tailed terms of item 7 above.
