Abstract: The National Highway

knowledge, behavior, and perceptions of
various child passenger safety (CPS)
messages. Demographic information

to participate in the study which will
require them to go to a computer lab
center, read CPS messages and respond
to questions about these messages using
touch-screen computers to reduce
survey length and minimize recording
errors. No personally identifiable
information will be collected during the
study. NHTSA will use the findings
from this proposed collection of
information to better understand how
information and perceptions of CPS
messages influence parents and
caregivers to seek the most appropriate
restraint systems for their children (less
than 13 years of age). Findings of the
study may be used to revise current CPS
messages being publicized in the nation.
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.,
Washington, DC 20503, Attention: Desk
Officer for Department of
Transportation, National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration, or by
email at [email protected],
or fax: 202–395–5806.
Comments Are Invited On: whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the Department of
Transportation, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
the accuracy of the Department’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
information collection; ways to enhance
the quality, utility and clarity of the
information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including
the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology. A comment to OMB is most
effective if OMB receives it within 30
days of publication of this notice.
