The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) proposes to collect information from older licensed drivers about their driving performance, driving habits, and levels of familiarity with rearview video systems (RVSs), and to measure their ability to avoid obstacles while backing using an RVS as compared to using only mirrors and shoulder checks. Following initial data collection, the research team will develop a training protocol based on common errors participants made during the first study segment. During the training segment of the study, a new sample of participants will complete backing tasks similar to those in the first segment. Then participants will be randomly assigned to either a training group or a placebo group. Following training all participants will again complete a series of backing tasks. Analyses will test whether the training improved driversâ ability to use the RVS appropriately. This research would give the traffic safety community greater insight into the extent to which older drivers are able to use RVSs effectively and whether training in proper use of the devices improves their ability to use the systems to back safely.

NHTSA previously obtained clearance to conduct this one-time study. However, NHTSA was unable to complete the study as a result of the public health emergency in 2020 and 2021. The requested reinstatement is 125 fewer burden hours than the previous information collection request because the reinstatement is for 120 rather than 200 participants. The reinstatement requests fewer burden hours because NHTSA has completed the first phase of this study, observing older drivers while they completed backing tasks, to determine which tasks had the highest error rates. These tasks were incorporated into the training. NHTSA is now requesting a reinstatement to allow it to complete the second part, assessing the effects of the training.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
