OMB NO.: 2127-0646 06/01/2006

TERMS OF CLEARANCE:
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.

NOTE: The agency is required to display the OMB control
number and inform respondents of its legal
significance (see 5 CFR 1320.5(b)).
