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 June 14, 2011.
ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments
to the U.S. Department of
Transportation Dockets, 1200 New
Jersey Ave., SE., Washington, DC 20590.
You may also submit comments
electronically at http://
www.regulations.gov. All comments
should refer to the Docket No. NHTSA–
2011–0046.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the

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: Evaluation of Impaired Riding
Interventions.
Type of Request: New information
collection request.
OMB Clearance Number: None.
Form Number: This collection of
information uses no standard forms.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval: 3 years from date of approval.
Summary of the Collection of
Information: The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
proposes to collect information from the
public to evaluate intervention
programs in multiple locations designed
to reduce impaired motorcycle riding.
NHTSA anticipates that the programs
will take place over the 2012 riding
season. In-person interviews will be
conducted with motorcycle riders in up
to 4 program sites, and in up to 2
control sites not carrying out an
intervention. Motorcycle riders will be
interviewed at locations within the sites
where riders congregate. Interview
length will average 5 minutes and will
collect information on attitudes,
awareness, knowledge, and behavior
related to the intervention.
The interviews will follow a pre-post
design where they are administered
prior to the implementation of the
intervention and after its conclusion. Up

to 2 waves of program activity are
planned in each program site, and thus
interviews will be administered a
maximum of 4 times in each site (before
and after each of 2 program waves).
Sample size will be up to 500 riders per
interview administration, for a total
maximum of 12,000 riders.
For interventions where a pre-post
design would not be possible (i.e.,
interventions that are conducted in
conjunction with an infrequentlyoccurring event), the interviews will
follow a test-control design where they
are administered during the
intervention in the program site, and in
a control site that did not experience an
intervention. The proposed interviews
will be anonymous. Participation by
respondents will be voluntary.
Need and Use of Information: The
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) was
established to reduce the mounting
number of deaths, injuries, and
economic losses resulting from motor
vehicle crashes on the Nation’s
highways. As part of this statutory
mandate, NHTSA is authorized to
conduct research as a foundation for the
development of motor vehicle standards
and traffic safety programs.
The heavy toll that impaired driving
exacts on the Nation in fatalities,
injuries, and economic costs is well
documented. Impaired motorcycle
riding has also been an increasing
concern on our Nation’s roads.
Motorcycle fatalities in the US
decreased in 2009 for the first time after
steadily increasing for 11 years;
however, even with this decline, the
number of motorcycle fatalities in 2009
was nearly double that from a decade
earlier. Alcohol impairment is a factor
that contributes to a substantial
proportion of fatal motorcycle crashes.
In 2009, 30% of motorcycle riders
fatally injured in crashes had a blood
alcohol concentration (BAC) at or above
.08 g/dL, which is per se evidence of
impaired riding in all States. Forty-two
percent of riders who died in singlevehicle crashes in 2009, and 63% of
riders who died in single-vehicle
crashes on weekend nights, had a BAC
of .08 g/dL or higher.
In 2012, NHTSA anticipates
sponsoring demonstration projects in
multiple sites to conduct interventions
with the purpose of reducing impaired
motorcycle riding. NHTSA plans to
evaluate these interventions to
determine their effectiveness. A key
component of this evaluation effort will
use brief interviews to assess motorcycle
riders’ knowledge of the intervention,
self-reported drinking and riding
behavior, and belief that alcohol-

16:58 Apr 14, 2011

Jkt 223001

impaired driving laws are enforced for
all motorists, including motorcycle
riders in the areas in which the
interventions will occur.
The findings from this proposed
collection of information will assist
NHTSA in addressing the problem of
alcohol-impaired motorcycle riding.
NHTSA will use the findings to help
focus current programs and activities to
achieve the greatest benefit, to develop
new programs to decrease the likelihood
of impaired riding, and to provide
informational support to States,
localities, and law enforcement agencies
that will aid them in their efforts to
reduce impaired motorcycle crashes.
Description of the Likely Respondents
(Including Estimated Number, and
Proposed Frequency of Response to the
Collection of Information): Under this
proposed effort, NHTSA intends to
conduct up to 12,000 face-to-face
interviews with motorcycle riders.
Interview length will average 5 minutes,
and each member of the sample would
complete one interview. Businesses
would be ineligible for the sample and
would not be interviewed. Interviews
will be conducted in a maximum of 4
demonstration sites and 2 control sites,
with up to 4 interview administrations
occurring in each site (baseline and
post-intervention surveys before and
after each of 2 program waves). Up to
500 motorcycle riders will be
interviewed at each site during each
interview administration.
Estimate of the Total Annual
Reporting and Record Keeping Burden
Resulting from the Collection of
Information: NHTSA estimates the
respondents in the sample will require
an average of 5 minutes to complete the
interviews. Thus, for the 12,000
respondents, the estimated reporting
burden hours on the general public will
be a maximum of 1,000 hours, over one
year. The respondents will not incur
any record-keeping burden or recordkeeping cost from the information
collection.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A).

Associate Administrator, Research and
Program Development.
