OMB Clearance Number—None.
Form Number—NHTSA Forms 1121,
1122, 1123.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval—3 years from date of
approval.
Summary of the Collection of
Information—NHTSA proposes to
collect information in selected
communities on public perceptions of
enforcement of laws prohibiting
alcohol-impaired driving. The
communities will differ in their levels of
highly visible enforcement. Telephone
interviews will be administered to
residents in each of five 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. This
study will also conduct in-person
interviews in each of the five
communities with patrons at bars or
other establishments serving alcohol.

SUMMARY:

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
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:

The respondents will be age 21 and
older.
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
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.
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 alcoholimpaired 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 HVE is integrated into regular
law enforcement operations? NHTSA
proposes to address those questions by
selecting community sites engaging in
different levels of HVE activity over a
one-year period, and collecting
information on community awareness of
those enforcement programs and the
perceived risk of an alcohol-impaired
driver being stopped by law
enforcement officers. Five sites will be
selected.
NHTSA will use the findings from
this proposed collection of information
to assist States, localities, and law
enforcement agencies to design and
implement sustained programs of highly
visible enforcement of the laws
pertaining to alcohol-impaired driving.
Description of the Likely Respondents
(Including Estimated Number, and
Proposed Frequency of Response to the
Collection of Information)—This
proposed effort would involve a
maximum of three telephone survey
waves in each of the five selected
communities. The sample size per
survey wave per community would be
1,200. The total number of telephone
interviews within a community over the
course of the one year field period
would be a maximum of 3,600, with the
grand total for the five communities
combined being a maximum of 18,000
telephone interviews. Respondents
would be drivers age 18 and older that
had consumed alcohol in the past year.
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,

E:\FR\FM\14FEN1.SGM

14FEN1

9040

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 31 / Friday, February 14, 2014 / Notices

and only participate in one survey
wave.
This effort would also include a
maximum of three waves of in-person
interviews of patrons at bars or other
establishments serving alcohol. The
total number of in-person interviews
within a community over the course of
the one year field period would be a
maximum of 1,200, with the grand total
for the five communities combined
being a maximum of 6,000 in-person
interviews. Respondents would be
patrons of alcohol-serving
establishments age 21 and older. Each
respondent would receive a small
number of questions to answer both
upon entry to the establishment and
upon departure.
Estimate of the Total Annual
Reporting and Record Keeping Burden
Resulting From the Collection of
Information—NHTSA estimates that
respondents would require an average of
10 minutes to complete the telephone
interviews. If the maximum number of
18,000 telephone interviews is
conducted, this would compute to 3,000
interviewing hours. The interviews with
establishment patrons would require an
average of eight minutes for the entry
and exit interview combined. With a
maximum of 6,000 respondents, this
would compute to 800 interviewing
hours.
All interviewing would occur during
a single year. Thus the annual reporting
burden would be the entire 3,800 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.

VerDate Mar<15>2010

Spartan Motors, Inc. on behalf
of Spartan Motors Chassis, Inc.
(Spartan) has determined that certain
model year 2008 through 2013 Spartan
Gladiator and MetroStar chassis cabs do
not fully comply with paragraph
S5.3.3.1(a) of Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 121, Air
Brake Systems. Spartan has filed an
appropriate report dated April 19, 2013,
pursuant to 49 CFR Part 573, Defect and
Noncompliance Responsibility and
Reports.

SUMMARY:

Jkt 232001

Spartan explains that it has
determined that certain emergency
rescue chassis cabs built between April
9, 2009 and January 14, 2013 may not
meet the brake actuation time for trucks
as identified in § 5.3.3 of FMVSS No.
121.
IV. Rule Text
Section S5.3.3 of FMVSS No. 121
specifically states:
S5.3.3 Brake actuation time. Each service
brake system shall meet the requirements of
S5.3.3.1 (a) and (b).
S5.3.3.1(a) With an initial service reservoir
system air pressure of 100 psi, the air

Sfmt 4703

pressure in each brake chamber shall, when
measured from the first movement of the
service brake control, reach 60 psi in not
more than 0.45 second in the case of trucks
and buses * * *

V. Summary of Spartan’s Analyses
Spartan stated its belief that the
subject noncompliance is
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety
for the following reasons:
Section 5.3.3.1 of FMVSS No. 121 defines
the amount of pressure (60 psi) for, in this
case, the front brake chambers. Further, it
also defines a ‘‘not to exceed’’ time (0.45
seconds) in which that pressure at the brake
chamber must be achieved. This is not
interpreted to mean brakes are to be applied
at 60 psi but rather a certain pressure at the
brake chamber will be achieved. Brakes will
be applied nearly instantaneously after
actuation of the treadle valve.

Spartan conducted three tests on a
sample of three chassis cabs of similar
brake system configurations. Detailed
results from the testing are shown in
Spartan’s petition. The reported average
was used to determine the actual results
in comparison to the requirements. By
rounding the average of the three tests
for each sample, Spartan Chassis
identified it exceeds the requirements
by 0.01 second.
The measurement of time, in this
case, is for when air pressure at the
chamber reaches 60 psi. As stated, the
brakes are still being applied
irrespective of achieving the 60 psi
pressure at the front brake chambers.
The impact of being 0.006 to 0.01
seconds above the requirement of 0.45
seconds would have very little impact
(approximately 1 ft @6 60 mph) to
stopping distance of the vehicle and
would not impede the capability of the
vehicle being able to stop.
According to Driver’s License Manual,
stopping distance is impacted by driver
perception distance and reaction
distance. Other factors include speed
and gross weight of the vehicle. These
attributes would appear to have a more
significant impact to overall stopping
distance than 0.01 second timing for air
pressure to reach 60 psi at the front
brake chambers.
From a speed of 60 mph, vehicles
affected by this condition are required
to achieve a complete stop in 310 ft. At
this speed, it would take approximately
3.52 seconds for vehicles to stop at this
rate of speed. Vehicles affected by the
condition that has resulted in the
identified non-compliance are capable
of stopping within the distance of 310
ft as prescribed by FMVSS No. 121 and
would still be able to stop within the
required stopping distance.
Spartan has additionally informed
NHTSA that it has corrected the
