Reports, Forms, and Recordkeeping
Requirements
National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA), DOT.
ACTION: Request for public comment on
proposed collection of information.
AGENCY:

Before a Federal agency can
collect certain information from the
public, it must receive approval from
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). Under procedures established
by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), before seeking
OMB approval, Federal agencies must
solicit public comment on proposed
collections of information, including
extensions and reinstatements of
previously approved collections.
This document describes an
Information Collection Request (ICR) for
which NHTSA intends to seek OMB
approval.

SUMMARY:

Comments must be submitted on
or before November 12, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments
to the U.S. Department of
Transportation Dockets, 1200 New
Jersey Ave., SE., Washington, DC 20590.
Docket No. NHTSA–2010–0038.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
before an agency submits a proposed
collection of information to OMB for
approval, it must publish a document in
the Federal Register providing a 60-day
comment period and otherwise consult
with members of the public and affected
agencies concerning each proposed
collection of information. The OMB has
promulgated regulations describing
what must be included in such a
document. Under OMB’s regulations (at
5 CFR 1320.8(d)), an agency must ask
for public comment on the following:
(i) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(ii) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(iii) How to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(iv) How to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including the use
of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
In compliance with these
requirements, NHTSA asks public
comment on the following proposed
collection of information:
Title: System Analysis of Automated
Speed Enforcement (ASE)
Implementation.
Type of Request: New information
collection request.
OMB Clearance Number: N/A.
Form Number: This collection of
information uses no standard forms.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval: September 18, 2013.
Summary of the Collection of
Information: A great many enforcement
strategies are in use to combat speeding
today. One important approach
increasingly being used is Automated
Speed Enforcement (ASE). A number of
studies have shown the use of speed
cameras for ASE to be effective in
reducing traffic speeds. However,
despite the effectiveness of speed
cameras programs for ASE, it is often

difficult to establish public acceptance
for these programs and put them into
place. The objectives of this study are
to: (1) Determine how the existing speed
camera programs in the United States
were developed and implemented; (2)
Examine other variables that have
affected these speed camera programs;
and (3) Determine how all of these
variables have affected the success of
these programs.
This study will conduct a census
survey of existing ASE programs in the
United States and gather information
from each site to address the objectives
described above. Key personnel in the
existing programs will be surveyed via
an emailed questionnaire and by phone.
This survey is expected to provide data
relevant to ASE development and
delivery that may affect the level of
public acceptance for given speed
camera programs, as well as their
success. The variables to be addressed
include specific target sites for the ASE
(school zones, work zones, etc.),
program funding and revenue flow (who
pays for it and how, who profits from
revenue, how it is promoted as a
revenue generator or a safety measure),
nature of citations issued (cite vehicle or
cite driver), penalties for violations
(level of fines, points on license, etc.),
presence of other automated
enforcement (red light cameras), level of
traditional speed law enforcement,
existence and results of program
evaluations, media reports and level of
media exposure, level of public
acceptance, and the degree to which
programs were set up and implemented
according to NHTSA guidelines.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use of the
Information—The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
was established by the Highway Safety
Act of 1970 (23 U.S.C. 101) to carry out
a Congressional mandate to reduce the
number of deaths, injuries, and
economic losses resulting from motor
vehicle crashes on the Nation’s
highways. Speeding is one of the
primary factors leading to vehicle
crashes. In 2008, 31% of all fatal crashes
were speeding-related. The estimated
economic cost to society for speedingrelated crashes is $40.4 billion per year.
Given the widespread occurrence of
speeding and the high toll in injuries
and lives lost in speed-related crashes,
as well as the high economic costs of
speed-related crashes, this is a safety
issue that demands attention.
Currently the information on existing
ASE programs is quite limited. The data
collected in this study will provide
NHTSA with important detailed
information on programs using this

countermeasure that will assist in
reducing speeding on our nation’s
highways. In support of its mission,
NHTSA will use the findings from this
survey of ASE programs to help existing
ASE programs improve their programs,
and provide new information on this
countermeasure for speeding that can
assist other communities in establishing
well-designed speed management
programs, including ASE. This
information is focused on achieving the
greatest benefit in decreasing crashes
and resulting injuries and fatalities, and
providing informational support to
States, localities, and law enforcement
agencies that will aid them in their
efforts to reduce traffic crashes.
Description of the Likely Respondents
(Including Estimated Number, and
Proposed Frequency of Response to the
Collection of Information)—According
to the Insurance Institute for Highway
Safety, there are currently 58 local
jurisdictions in 12 States and the
District of Columbia using speed
cameras for ASE in the United States. A
few localities have also discontinued
ASE programs in recent years. This
survey will target communities that
currently have ASE programs and sites
that recently discontinued ASE
programs. A few key personnel from
each of the sites will be contacted to
complete the survey on their ASE
programs. This will include an emailed
questionnaire and phone interviews.
Participation will be voluntary. As this
is a census collection of information on
existing ASE programs and new
programs are likely to start before the
data collection effort can go into the
field, our request includes a projected
total to account for possible new
program starts. In addition, as the
information being collected is intended
to help future ASE programs, our
request also includes some programs
that have discontinued ASE programs.
We estimate that a maximum of 80
jurisdictions, including both current
ASE programs and recently
discontinued ASE programs may be
contacted.
Estimate of the Total Annual
Reporting and Record Keeping Burden
Resulting from the Collection of
Information—The total estimated
annual burden is approximately 960
hours for the survey and interviews for
the 80 jurisdictions combined. We
estimate approximately 12 hours per
jurisdiction responding to our request
for information (80 agencies x 12 hours
each = 960 hours total). These 12 hours
will be expended gathering data and
past reports, writing a response to the
questionnaire, and speaking with the
researchers on the phone. Personnel to

be contacted in each jurisdiction
include the Chief of Police, a traffic
unit/ASE unit commander, and a data
person at each agency. In total, we
estimate the need to contact a maximum
total of 320 individuals (80 agencies x
4 individuals = 320 individuals
contacted). The respondents would not
incur any reporting cost from the
information collection beyond the time
to respond to the information request
and they would not incur any record
keeping burden or record keeping cost
from the information collection.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. Section 3506(c)(2)(A).
