already been accomplished. Moreover,
crash fatalities rose in 2012. Thus
significant effort will be needed just to
preserve the gains that already have
been made. Up-to-date information is
essential to plot the direction of future
activity that will achieve reductions in
crash injuries and fatalities in the
coming years.
As part of its collection of information
used to develop and implement
effective countermeasures to improve
highway traffic safety, NHTSA
conducted its first MVOSS in 1994. The
survey included questions related to
seat belts, child safety seats, air bags,
and Emergency Medical Services. It also
contained small segments on alcohol
use and on speeding. The survey has
been repeated five times since then,
with the survey instrument updated
prior to each survey administration to
incorporate emergent issues and items
of increased interest. The most recent
MVOSS was fielded during the first
quarter of calendar year 2007.
The proposed survey is the seventh
MVOSS. The survey would collect data
on topics included in the preceding
surveys and would monitor changes
over time in the use of occupant
protection devices and in attitudes
related to vehicle occupant safety. It is
important that NHTSA monitor these
changes so that the Agency can
determine the effects of its efforts to
promote the use of safety devices and to
identify areas where its efforts should be
targeted and where new strategies may
be needed. As in earlier years, NHTSA
proposes to make a small number of
revisions to the survey instrument to
address new information needs. If
approved, the proposed survey would
assist NHTSA in addressing motor
vehicle occupant safety and in
formulating programs and
recommendations. The results of the
proposed survey would be used to: (a)
Identify areas to target current programs
and activities to achieve the greatest
benefit; (b) develop new programs and
initiatives aimed at increasing the use of
occupant safety devices by the public;
and (c) provide informational support to
States and localities in their traffic
safety efforts. The findings would also
be used directly by State and local
highway safety and law enforcement
agencies in the development and
implementation of effective
countermeasures to prevent injuries and
fatalities to vehicle occupants.
Description of the Likely Respondents
(Including Estimated Number, and
Proposed Frequency of Response to the
Collection of Information)—This
proposed effort would involve cognitive
testing of the questionnaires, usability

tests to identify any problems with selfadministration of the Web version of the
questionnaires, a pilot test, and final
survey administration. Businesses are
ineligible for the sample and would not
be interviewed. No more than one
respondent would be selected per
household. Each member of the sample
would complete one interview.
The cognitive testing would consist of
one-on-one cognitive interviews with
each of nine persons selected from the
general public for each questionnaire,
for a total of 18 cognitive interviews. All
would be drivers 18 and older. All
cognitive interviews using the child
restraint use questionnaire would be
conducted with parents of children
under the age of 9. A maximum of 100
licensed drivers 18 and older would be
recruited to participate in usability tests,
with all tests of the child restraint use
questionnaire conducted with parents of
young children. For the pilot test, a
maximum of 1,200 completed
interviews with people age 16 and older
would be obtained. For the final survey,
12,000 completed interviews with
randomly selected members of the
general public age 16 and older would
be obtained, 6,000 per questionnaire.
The respondent sample would be
selected from all 50 States plus the
District of Columbia.
Estimate of the Total Annual
Reporting and Record Keeping Burden
Resulting from the Collection of
Information—NHTSA estimates that the
respondents participating in the
cognitive interviewing would average 1⁄2
hours to carry out that activity, for a
total of 27 hours for the 18 cognitive
interviews. NHTSA estimates that the
respondents participating in the
usability testing would average 1 hour
in carrying out that activity. The
number of usability testing respondents
would not exceed 100, leading to a
maximum burden of 100 hours. The
projected 1,200 maximum completed
interviews for the pilot test, with an
average duration of 15 minutes, would
produce a maximum burden of 300
hours. The 12,000 final survey
interviews, with an average duration of
15 minutes, would produce a burden of
3,000 hours. The maximum reporting
burden for the MVOSS would be 27
hours for the cognitive testing, 100
hours for the usability testing, 300 hours
for the pilot test, and 3,000 hours for the
final survey for a grand total of 3,427
hours.
All interviewing would occur during
a single calendar year. Thus the annual
reporting burden would be the entire
3,427 hours. The respondents would not
incur any reporting cost from the
information collection. The respondents

also would not incur any record keeping
burden or record keeping cost from the
information collection.

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:

Summary of the Collection of
Information—The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
proposes to conduct a survey of young
drivers ages 16 through 20 concerning
traffic safety issues affecting young

Jkt 229001

people in that age range. The survey
would use Web as the primary response
mode and mail as a second response
mode. The sample would be drawn from
driver license databases of States that
choose to participate in the study.
NHTSA would seek participation by
eight States, two per Census Region.
Contact with prospective respondents
would be conducted through the mail.
Young drivers would be asked to go to
a designated Web site to take the survey.
Follow up mailings would include as a
second response option a paper version
of the questionnaire that respondents
can fill out and mail back. The survey
would also provide the capability for
the interview to be conducted by
telephone if the prospective respondent
requests that option. The questionnaire
would cover topics such as general
driving behavior, driver education and
graduated driver licensing, parental
oversight of driving, distraction and
driving, drinking and driving, seat belt
use, speeding and racing, crash
experience, and traffic violations.
The survey would first be pilot-tested
in a single State. One purpose of the
pilot test would be to determine if it is
feasible to administer the full version of
the questionnaire to all respondents, or
whether the questionnaire would need
to be split into two shorter versions. The
average amount of time for respondents
to complete the full version of the
questionnaire is estimated to be 25
minutes. The average amount of time
estimated to complete the shorter
versions is 15 minutes. The pilot test
would compare the response rates of
groups receiving the different
questionnaire versions. Combined with
other test conditions being used to
assess survey administration issues,
there would be a total of 9 respondent
groups whose response rates would be
compared.
The survey would be conducted
primarily on-line, with the on-line
technology serving to reduce length and
minimize recording errors. Each
respondent would be assigned a unique
randomly generated PIN (Personal
Identification Number) that must be
used to access the questionnaire on the
Web site. The personally identifiable
information used to contact respondents
would be held separately from the
information provided by respondents to
the survey so that no connection can be
made between the two. No personally
identifiable information would be
collected during the interviews.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use of the
Information—NHTSA was established
to reduce the number of deaths, injuries,
and economic losses resulting from

PO 00000

Frm 00125

Fmt 4703

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.
Young drivers 16- to 20-years old are
especially vulnerable to death and
injury on our roadways, with traffic
crashes being the leading cause of death
for teenagers in America. It is essential
that NHTSA be proactive in addressing
young driver traffic safety. As a datadriven organization, this means
collecting and analyzing quality data to
identify the nature of young driver
traffic safety problems, to guide
development of intervention
approaches, and to evaluate the
effectiveness of interventions. While
crash and fatality databases are
invaluable sources of data applicable to
these tasks, they do not tell the entire
story. Attitudes, perceptions,
knowledge, beliefs, preferences, and
related factors often play a role in how
the circumstances underlying a crash
evolved. Situational and experiential
factors also figure into the equation.
Taking a comprehensive approach to
preventing young driver crashes
requires an understanding of this
contextual information in order to fully
assess the young driver crash problem
and identify specific problems while
also locating strategic points for
intervention. This survey responds to
those information needs.
This survey will fill in gaps in the
information that NHTSA has regarding
young drivers, and will be used by the
agency to help guide its strategic
planning of activities to improve traffic
safety of people in this age group. States
that participate in the survey will be
provided with a snapshot picture of
attitudes, knowledge, and self-reported
driving-related behavior of young
people in their State that they can use
in their own traffic safety planning
activities, and that they can disseminate
to their local jurisdictions. The
aggregated data across States will
provide a status report on where young
drivers stand with regards to key traffic
safety issues for use by traffic safety
professionals and other concerned
individuals in planning, developing,
refining, and implementing measures to
improve young driver safety.
Description of the Likely Respondents
(Including Estimated Number, and
Proposed Frequency of Response to the
Collection of Information)—A maximum
of 100 licensed drivers ages 18 through
20 would be recruited to participate in
usability tests to identify any problems
with self-administration of the Webbased questionnaire. Sixteen- and

seventeen-year-olds would not yet be
included as not all steps that need to be
carried out to allow participation by
people this young would have been
completed at this stage of the project.
Those steps would be completed by the
time the project is ready to conduct the
pilot test, in which 6,300 young people
ages 16 through 20 listed in the driver
license database of one State would be
mailed a request to participate in the
survey. For purposes of burden
estimation this project will assume a
response rate upper limit of 50%, or a
maximum of 3,150 completed pilot test
interviews.
The final survey would be
administered to young people ages 16
through 20 listed in the driver license
database of one of the States
participating in the survey. There would
be eight participating States. The
number of respondents would depend
on results of the pilot test in addition to
the response rate. For each of the eight
States, 8,000 young drivers would be
mailed the request to participate in the
survey if the pilot test determines that
it is feasible to administer the longer
version of the questionnaire. An upper
limit response rate of 50% equates to a
maximum of 4,000 completed
interviews per State, or 32,000 for the
survey. But if the pilot test indicates
that the questionnaire will need to be
split into two shorter questionnaires,
then the number of respondents would
double to a maximum of 64,000 as 8,000
requests to participate in the survey
would be mailed per questionnaire in
each State.
Businesses are ineligible for the
sample and would not be interviewed.
All respondents would be administered
the survey one time only.
Estimate of the Total Annual
Reporting and Record Keeping Burden
Resulting From the Collection of
Information—NHTSA estimates that the
respondents participating in the
usability testing would average 1 hour
in carrying out that activity. The
number of respondents would not
exceed 100, producing a maximum
burden of 100 hours.
The projected 3,150 maximum
completed interviews for the pilot test
would be split among those receiving
the full questionnaire (one-third of
respondents) and those receiving the
shortened versions (two-thirds of
respondents, divided between those
who get shortened Version A and those
who get shortened Version B). The full
version would require an average of 25
minutes for the 1,050 respondents for a
burden of 437.5 hours. The shortened
versions would require an average of 15
minutes for the 2,100 respondents for a

VerDate Mar<15>2010

17:35 Jun 05, 2013

Jkt 229001

burden of 525 hours. The total burden
for the pilot test would therefore be a
maximum of 962.5 hours.
If the pilot test indicates that
administration of the full version of the
questionnaire is feasible, then a
maximum of 32,000 respondents would
spend an average of 25 minutes
completing the final survey, for a
burden of 13,333.33 hours. If the pilot
test instead indicates that the final
survey will need to employ the shorter
questionnaires, then a maximum of
64,000 respondents would spend an
average of 15 minutes completing the
survey, for a burden of 16,000 hours.
The maximum reporting burden for
the Implementation of a Youth Traffic
Safety Survey would be 100 hours for
the usability testing, 962.5 hours for the
pilot test, and 16,000 hours for the final
survey if two questionnaires are used for
a grand total of 17,062.5 hours.
All interviewing would occur during
a single calendar year. Thus the annual
reporting burden would be the entire
17,062.5 hours. The respondents would
not incur any reporting cost from the
information collection. The respondents
also would not incur any record keeping
burden or record keeping cost from the
information collection.
