FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), before an agency
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: (a)
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;
(b) 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;
(c) how to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) 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 for which the
agency is seeking approval from OMB.
Title: Evaluation of the Model
Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria
(MMUCC) Program.
OMB Control Number: NEW.
Form Number(s): NHTSA Form 1635
and NHTSA Form 1636.
Type of Request: New information
collection.
Type of Review Requested: Regular.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval: 3 years from date of approval.
Summary of the Collection of
Information: NHTSA is authorized by
49 U.S.C. 30182 and 23 U.S.C. 403 to
collect data on motor vehicle traffic
crashes to aid in the identification of
issues and the development,
implementation, and evaluation of
motor vehicle and highway safety
countermeasures
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 in 1998 and have
regularly updated the guidelines
together, with the most recent fifth
edition published in 2017.
NHTSA is seeking approval to
conduct a national survey of active law
enforcement officers. The purpose of the
survey would be to solicit officers’
judgement about collecting 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 collect both existing MMUCC
variables and proposed new or modified
variables.
First, NHTSA will hire a contractor to
contact police chiefs within the 397
sampling units used by NHTSA’s Crash
Reporting Sampling System (CRSS) to
request the nomination of four law
enforcement officers in their department
who collect crash data to participate in
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 256001
the study. Specifically, NHTSA is
requesting the police chiefs to provide
personally identifiable information (PII)
about the nominated law enforcement
officers, including names and contact
information (email, phone, and address)
so that NHTSA can contact these
officers to administer a survey on
MMUCC data elements and arrange
payment of an honorarium.
Second, NHTSA will send the officers
who were nominated to participate in
this study a unique link to one of two
online surveys, which will examine the
feasibility of collecting the MMUCC
crash data. The surveys will collect
limited information about each
respondent including the State where
they work as a law enforcement officer,
the extent of their training for collecting
crash data, and the number of years the
respondents have completed crash
reports. The surveys will collect
information about respondents’ beliefs
and abilities to accurately collect crash
data according to the MMUCC
guidelines. The surveys will ask
respondents to rate the difficulty of
accurately collecting specific MMUCC
data elements, assess respondents
ability to collect information using
MMUCC data elements for fictitious
crash scenarios, and ask for suggestions
on how MMUCC data elements can be
improved.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use of the
Information: States’ adoption of
MMUCC variables has been slow and
inconsistent. Currently the variables
collected on State’s police crash reports
alignment to MMUCC variables is less
than 50 percent, NHTSA intends to
conduct this information collection to
learn why the alignment rate is so low.
Before embarking on the sixth edition of
MMUCC, NHTSA seeks to assess the
feasibility of collecting the data
variables in MMUCC and to identify
problematic data variables and other
factors that impede States from adopting
the MMUCC variables.
To assess the ability of law
enforcement officers to accurately
collect MMUCC crash data variables,
NHTSA will conduct an electronic
survey of a national sample of law
enforcement officers who complete
crash reports. The survey will ask
respondents to review fictitious crash
scenarios and collect the MMUCC data
variables. In addition, law enforcement
officers will be asked about their
confidence to accurately collect
MMUCC data variables and to provide
suggestions for improving each data
variable as needed. Examples of the
types of crash data variables in MMUCC
that law enforcement will be asked
PO 00000
Frm 00093
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
about include Direction of Travel,
Sequence of Events, Type of
Intersection, and Restraint System Use.
The information collected will allow
NHTSA to identify data variables in
MMUCC that officers might interpret
differently. The results will inform
deliberations about the content of the
next edition of MMUCC. A summary of
this research will be published as an
appendix to the next edition of
MMUCC.
Affected Public: Law enforcement.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
NHTSA will send a short letter to 397
chief police officers to request they
identify four police officers within their
department to participate in the
MMUCC survey. The total sample is
1,985 (397 police chiefs + 1,588 police
officers).
Frequency: NHTSA plans to conduct
this data collection once to prepare for
the sixth edition of MMUCC.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: To calculate the hour burden and
labor cost associated with submitting
the Evaluation of the Model Minimum
Uniform Crash Criteria, NHTSA looked
at wage estimates for Front Line
Supervisors of Police and Detectives
and Police and Sheriff’s Patrol Officers
who complete crash forms. NHTSA
estimates the total opportunity costs
associated with these burden hours by
looking at the average wage for (1) Front
line Supervisors of Police and
Detectives and (2) Police and Sheriff’s
Patrol Officers. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) estimates that the
average hourly wage for Front line
Supervisors of Police and Detectives
(BLS Occupation Code 33–1012) 1 is
$46.72 and Police and Sheriff’s Patrol
Officers (BLS Occupation code 33–3051)
is $33.66.2 The Bureau of Labor
Statistics estimates that wages represent
62.2 percent of total compensation for
State and local government workers, on
average.3 Therefore, NHTSA estimates
the hourly labor costs to be
$75.11($46.72/.622) for Supervisors of
Police and Sheriff’s Patrol Officers and
$54.12 ($33.66/622) for Police and
Sheriff’s Patrol Officers. NHTSA
estimates that it will take about 10
minutes (0.17 of an hour) for the police

chiefs to nominate four law enforcement
officers who investigate motor vehicle
crashes, resulting in 67.49 (0.17 × 397)
hours for 397 police chiefs. From pilot
testing the survey instruments with six
former law enforcement officers who
work at NHTSA, the agency estimates
that it will take the law enforcement
officers one hour to complete the
survey. Therefore, 1,588 hours for 1,588
law enforcement officers. NHTSA
estimates the total hourly compensation
cost for police chiefs to be $5,069.17
($75.11 × 67.49 hours). NHTSA
estimates the total hourly compensation
cost for law enforcement officers to be
$85,942.56 ($54.12 × 1,588 hours). Table
