Jkt 247001
submits a proposed collection of
information to OMB for approval, it
must first 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 regulation (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;
(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 for public
comments on the following proposed
collection of information:
Title: Driver Interactions with
Advanced Driver Assistance
Technologies.
Type of Request: New collection.
Type of Review Requested: Regular.
OMB Clearance Number: New
Collection.
Form Number: None.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval: Three years from date of
approval.
Summary of the Collection of
Information: NHTSA proposes to
perform research involving the
collection of information from the
public as part of a multi-year effort to
learn about drivers’ use of and behavior
in interacting with certain advanced
driver assistance technologies. The
research will involve on-road, seminaturalistic driving experimentation in
which participants who are members of
the general public will drive
government-owned instrumented
production vehicles equipped with
driver assistance technologies.
Participants will include both drivers
with and drivers without experience
with advanced cruise control and lane
keeping assistance technologies.
Experienced drivers will be ones who
PO 00000
Frm 00139
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
23155
own one of the two vehicle models
equipped with advanced cruise control
and lane keeping assistance features
being used in this research. Participants
will engage driver assistance
technologies, including advanced cruise
control and lane keeping assistance,
while driving a specified route
traversing public highways.
Participants’ actions to engage the
assistance features and responses to
unrequested disengagements will be
observed and recorded.
Questions will be asked during the
course of the research to assess
individuals’ suitability for study
participation, to obtain feedback
regarding participants’ use of the driver
assistance technologies, and to gauge
individuals’ level of comfort with and
confidence in the technologies’
performance and safety.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use of the
Information: The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration’s
(NHTSA) mission is to save lives,
prevent injuries, and reduce healthcare
and other economic costs associated
with motor vehicle crashes. As driver
assistance technologies advance, they
have the potential to dramatically
reduce the number of motor vehicle
crashes, injuries, and associated
economic costs. The safety and
effectiveness of the technologies
depends on drivers understanding the
capabilities, constraints, and visual and
auditory alerts provided. Drivers’
understanding of when assistance
features are available to use and when
they are not or are disengaging is
important for safety. In particular,
drivers must understand and respond
quickly when a feature indicates that it
is disengaging and the driver must
retake full manual control of driving.
This work seeks to gather information
regarding how drivers who are
inexperienced compare to drivers with
experience using driver assistance
features including advanced cruise
control and lane keeping assistance. The
research will compare the two groups’
use of these features in interactions,
response to disengagement notifications,
and proper use.
The collection of information will
consist of: (1) Question Set 1, Driving
Research Study Interest Response Form,
(2) Question Set 2, Screening Questions,
(3) passive observation of driving
behavior, and (4) Question Set 3, PostDrive Questionnaire.
The information to be collected will
be used for the following purposes:
• Question Set 1, Driving Research
Study Interest Response Form will be
used to determine individuals’

willingness to participate in the study
and whether an individual qualifies for
participation in this study based on
certain information, such as primary
vehicle make/model. For example,
participants must:
Æ Be at least 21 years of age
Æ Hold a valid U.S. or Canadian driver’s
license
Æ Drive at least 14,000 miles annually
Participants must also be willing to
provide their contact information for the
purposes of coordinating participation.
• Question Set 2, Screening Questions
will be primarily used to ensure that
participants meet certain minimum
health qualifications, are free of recent
criminal convictions, and have
reasonable availability to participate in
the study. The objective of health
screening questions is to identify
candidate participants whose physical
and health conditions may be deemed
‘‘average’’ and are compatible with
being able to drive continuously for
approximately 3 hours a vehicle
equipped with only original equipment
components.
• Question Set 3, Post-Drive
Questionnaire will be used to get
information about the participants’
experiences during the experimental
drive, including the difficulty of using
the automated system, trust in the
automated system, incidences of mode
confusion, and any safety
considerations related to the system.
There will be two versions of the
questionnaire: One for participants who
do not have experience with one of two
study vehicle models equipped with
advanced cruise control and lane
keeping assistance prior to the study,
and one for participants do have
experience with these features in one of
the two study vehicle models. The
experienced participant questionnaire
will include additional questions
addressing individuals’ personal
experience with the driver assistance
feature technologies in their personal
vehicle and, for participants who drive
a study vehicle model that is different
from their personal vehicle, their
opinions regarding differences between
the two vehicles’ driver assistance
feature driver interface implementations
and any difficulties using those features
in the vehicle with which they were not
experienced prior to the study.
Affected Public (Respondents):
Research participants will be licensed
drivers aged 25–54 years who drive at
least 14,000 miles annually, are in good
health, and do not require assistive
devices to safely operate a vehicle and
drive continuously for a period of 3
hours.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
Information will be collected in an
incremental fashion to permit the
determination of which individuals
have the necessary characteristics for
study participation. All interested
candidates will complete Question Set
1, Driving Research Study Interest
Response Form. A subset of individuals
meeting the criteria for Question Set 1
will be asked to complete Question Set
2, Screening Questions. From the
individuals found to meet the criteria
for both Questions sets 1 and 2, a subset
will be chosen with the goal of
achieving a sample providing a balance
of age and sex to be scheduled for study
participation. A summary of the
estimated numbers of individuals that
will complete the noted question sets is
provided in the following table.

OMB Control No. 1513–0002
Title: Personnel Questionnaire—
Alcohol and Tobacco Products.
TTB Form Number: TTB F 5000.9.
Abstract: Provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code (IRC; 26 U.S.C chapters
51 and 52) and the Federal Alcohol
Administration Act (FAA Act; 27 U.S.C.
201 et seq.) require persons wishing to
engage in certain alcohol and tobacco
activities to obtain a permit, or approval
of a notice or registration, from the
Secretary of the Treasury (the Secretary)
before beginning operations. The IRC
and FAA Act provide that an applicant
is not eligible for such permits or
approvals if the Secretary finds that the
applicant, (including company officers,
directors, or principal investors) is not
likely to lawfully operate or has certain
criminal convictions. Under its
delegated IRC and FAA Act authorities,
the TTB regulations authorize the
collection of information from
applicants so that TTB can determine if
they meet the minimum statutory and
regulatory qualifications for alcohol and
tobacco permits, notices, or
registrations. To assist TTB in making
such determinations, applicants use
form TTB F 5000.9, Personnel
Questionnaire—Alcohol and Tobacco,
or its web-based Permits Online
equivalent, to provide TTB with
information regarding their identity,
business history and financing, and
criminal record, if any.
Current Actions: TTB is submitting
this collection as a revision due to
program changes made at the Bureau’s
discretion. TTB has revised TTB F
5000.9 and its electronic Permits Online
equivalent to reduce the amount of
information collected and lower the perrespondent burden associated with this
information collection. TTB has
removed certain data fields that it no
longer needs to determine a
