     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)).
