Abstract: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is seeking OMB approval to conduct a voluntary national survey of active law enforcement officers. The purpose of the survey would be to solicit officers’ opinions about the crash data variables described in the current fifth edition of the Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCC) Guideline (DOT HS 812 433, July 2017) as well as to test officers’ abilities to accurately report crash data using both existing MMUCC variables and proposed new or modified variables. The MMUCC guideline identifies a minimum set of motor vehicle crash data variables and their attributes that States should consider collecting and including in their State crash data systems. MMUCC is a voluntary, minimum set of standardized data variables for describing motor vehicle traffic crashes. MMUCC promotes data uniformity within the highway safety community by creating a foundation for State crash data systems to provide the information necessary to improve highway safety. The crash data is used to identify issues, determine highway safety messages and strategic communication campaigns, optimize the location of selective law enforcement, inform decision-makers of needed highway safety legislation, and evaluate the impact of highway safety countermeasures. NHTSA developed MMUCC with the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) in 1998 and have regularly updated the guidelines together, with the most recent fifth edition published in 2017. NHTSA intends to conduct this information collection to inform a committee of State experts as they meet to provide input into the content of the next edition of MMUCC. NHTSA will collect the information using online surveys and analyze it to identify problematic crash data elements and concepts. A discussion of the aggregate results of this research will be published as an appendix to the next edition of MMUCC. This is a new data collection that will be conducted once to inform the sixth edition of MMUCC. Responding to this data collection is voluntary and each participant will be provided an honorarium.
