The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) is seeking approval of this new information
collection request (ICR) to allow the agency to conduct a one-time
voluntary study to obtain information to better understand
attitudes and behaviors related to alcohol-impaired driving that
will be used to enhance and refine communication strategy and
tactics (i.e., more effectively target and message at-risk drivers
and motorcycle riders). The study will survey drivers and
motorcycle riders ages 21- to 54-years-old because this age range
represents the greatest number of alcohol-related driving/riding
fatalities according to NHTSA’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System
(FARS). The research study will include two components, both being
one-time collections. The first component will involve a series of
online webcam interviews that will collect qualitative information
that will be used to improve the quantitative survey that will be
administered in the second component. The quantitative survey will
be administered online and by phone (and potentially supplemented
by mail if needed). After collecting the data, segmentation
analysis will be done to classify drivers and motorcycle riders
according to segments based on common demographics, drinking
behaviors, attitudes about drinking and driving/motorcycle riding,
and lifestyle characteristics. The segmentation profiles will be
used by NHTSA’s Office of Communications and Consumer Information
(OCCI) to better target and reach intended audiences with
communications messages and techniques that are relevant and
meaningful to people within the target market.
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.
