The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) proposes to conduct an information collection to evaluate the effectiveness of high-visibility enforcement (HVE) demonstration programs in deterring alcohol-impaired motorcycle riding. The HVE demonstration programs are expected to occur during the 2012 motorcycle riding season. NHTSA is requesting approval to conduct intercept surveys at sites where motorcycle riders congregate, in up to four program locations and three comparison locations before and after impaired riding demonstration programs, for the purpose of evaluating the demonstration programs. NHTSA will administer short in-person interviews to motorcycle riders in the program and comparison locations.
US Code:
23 USC 101
Name of Law: Highway Safety Act of 1970
This is a new information collection that will be used to evaluate a new NHTSA demonstration project. The new information collection will add 1,167 burden hours to the NHTSA overall burden hour total.
