SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Control Number: 2127–New.
Title: Demonstration Tests of Different
High Visibility Enforcement Models.
Form No.: NHTSA Forms 1121 and
1122.
Type of Review: Regular.
Respondents: Telephone interviews
will be administered to residents in
each of five selected communities who
are drivers, age 18 and older, have
access to a residential landline and/or a
personal cell phone, and have
consumed alcohol in the past year. Inperson interviews will be conducted in
each of the five selected communities
with bar patrons age 21 and older.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
18,000 telephone interviews and 6,000
bar patron interviews.
Estimated Time per Response: 10
minutes per interview.
Total Estimated Annual Burden
Hours: 4,000 hours.
Frequency of Collection: There will be
three survey waves at each of the five
community sites. A telephone survey
and bar survey will be conducted during
each survey wave, with each respondent
interviewed once. The bar interview
will be split such that questions will be
asked of each respondent both during
entry and exit from the bar.
Abstract: Highly visible enforcement
(HVE) has had the strongest support in
the research literature for effectiveness
in reducing alcohol-impaired driving.
The unknown at this time is the
relationship of the amount of HVE to
perceived risk within a community of
an alcohol-impaired driver being
stopped by law enforcement. In
particular, does the perceived risk
increase as the amount of HVE
increases? And is the optimum effect on
awareness and perceived risk achieved
through an integrated program where

11MYN1

srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 92 / Friday, May 11, 2012 / Notices
HVE is integrated into regular law
enforcement operations? NHTSA
proposes to answer those questions by
selecting community sites engaging in
different levels of HVE activity during a
one-year period, and monitoring
community awareness of those
enforcement programs and the
perceived risk of an alcohol-impaired
driver being stopped by law
enforcement. Five sites will be selected
encompassing integrated, intermediate,
and more limited HVE programs.
Data collection to assess program
awareness and perceived risk will be of
two forms. Telephone surveys will be
conducted in each community at three
different points in time during the oneyear program period. The telephone
survey wave in each community will be
composed of 1,200 completed
interviews with drivers age 18 and older
who have consumed alcohol in the past
year.
The second form of data collection
will be in-person interviews with bar
patrons. The intent here is to collect
information on program awareness and
perceived risk from a population with a
heavier concentration of individuals atrisk of driving at illegal blood alcohol
concentrations (BACs) than one would
find in a community-wide survey. The
bar surveys will be conducted during
the same times of the year as the
telephone surveys. Four hundred bar
patrons will be interviewed per
community per survey wave.
Respondents will be asked a few
questions both upon entry and exit from
the bar. Breath samples will also be
taken in order to correlate BAC with
awareness and perceived risk. The
breath test results will not be available
on-site but will be downloaded later.
In conducting the telephone
interviews, the interviewers would use
computer-assisted telephone
interviewing to reduce interview length
and minimize recording errors. No
personal information will be collected
that would allow any respondent to be
identified. The data collection at bars
would be anonymous; no personal
information that would allow anyone to
identify respondents will be collected.
ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding
the burden estimate, including
suggestions for reducing the burden, to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget, 725 17th Street NW.,
