Background

In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
FMCSA announces its plan to submit
the Information Collection Request (ICR)
described below to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval. The intent of the
ICR is to collect information on recent
interstate household goods shippers’
(consumers) awareness of the
Household Goods (HHG) Consumer
Information Program messages and
activities. On September 26, 2007,
FMCSA published a Federal Register
notice allowing for a 60-day comment
period on the ICR. One comment was
received.
DATES: Please send your comments by
February 19, 2008. OMB must receive
your comments by this date in order to
act quickly on the ICR.
ADDRESSES: All comments should
reference DOT Docket No. FMCSA–
2007–0075. You may submit comments

Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, 725
Seventeenth Street, NW., Washington,
DC 20503, Attention: DOT/FMCSA Desk
Officer.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Brian Ronk, Program Manager, FMCSA,

Telephone: (202) 366–1072; or e-mail
[email protected].

The purpose of this study is to
quantify and assess consumer awareness
of the Household Goods (HHG)
Consumer Information Program. The
study will determine the interstate
moving public’s recognition or
knowledge of the Program’s activities or
messages, such as the ‘‘Protect Your
Move’’ campaign. The data will be
collected through a telephone survey.
Results of the study will not be
published, but used for internal research
purposes by FMCSA in developing
future HHG campaign materials,
identifying target audiences, and
determining distribution strategies to
provide better consumer information to
the public. It will also serve as a
baseline for future program evaluations
or assessments. A follow-up telephone
survey will be conducted two years after
the initial data collection and compared
against the results from baseline
assessment.
FMCSA published a Federal Register
notice allowing for a 60-day comment
period on the ICR on September 26,
2007. One comment was received

the comment explaining the need for the
study and affirmed the writer’s concern
about the safe and reliable delivery of a
consumer’s household goods. The
