Clearance Officer, at email:

(757) 897–9908.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA,
44 U.S.C. 3501–3520, and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR part
1320, require Federal agencies to issue
two notices seeking public comment on
information collection activities before
OMB may approve paperwork packages.
See 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8
through 1320.12. On August 8, 2023,
FRA published a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register soliciting public
comment on the ICRs for which it is
now seeking OMB approval. See 88 FR
53581. FRA has received no comments
related to the proposed collections of
information.
Before OMB decides whether to
approve the proposed collections of
information, it must provide 30-days’
notice for public comment. Federal law
requires OMB to approve or disapprove
paperwork packages between 30 and 60
days after the 30-day notice is
published. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b)–(c); 5 CFR
1320.12(d); see also 60 FR 44978, 44983,
Aug. 29, 1995. OMB believes the 30-day
notice informs the regulated community
to file relevant comments and affords
the agency adequate time to digest
public comments before it renders a
decision. 60 FR 44983, Aug. 29, 1995.
Therefore, respondents should submit
their respective comments to OMB
within 30 days of publication to best
ensure having their full effect.
Comments are invited on the
following ICRs regarding: (1) whether
the information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute
its functions, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of FRA’s estimates of
the burden of the information collection
activities, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used to
determine the estimates; (3) ways for
FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information being
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of information collection
activities on the public, including the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.

Please identify the relevant collection of
information by referring to its OMB
Control Number.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), a Federal
agency must receive approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) before it collects certain
information from the public and a
person is not required to respond to a
collection of information by a Federal
agency unless the collection displays a
valid OMB control number. In
compliance with these requirements,
this notice announces that the following
information collection request will be
submitted OMB.
Title: Alcohol-Impaired Driving
Segmentation Study.
OMB Control Number: 2127–New.
Form Number: NHTSA Form 1710,
NHTSA Form 1711.
Type of Request: Request for approval
of a new information collection.
Type of Review Requested: Regular.
Length of Approval Requested: Three
years from approval date.
Summary of the Collection of
Information: The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
under the U.S. Department of
Transportation (USDOT), was
established to reduce the number of
deaths, injuries and economic losses
resulting from motor vehicle crashes on
the nation’s highways. In keeping with
this mission and to fulfill a
congressional mandate to improve
highway traffic safety, NHTSA’s Office
of Communications and Consumer
Information (OCCI) is dedicated to
eliminating risky behaviors on our
nation’s roads through public awareness

campaigns. One of the most significant
NHTSA’s OCCI seeks to address through
these efforts is drunk driving.
Drunk driving is a significant cause of
highway fatalities, injuries and
economic losses. Alcohol-impaired
driving fatalities totaled 11,654 in 2020,
accounting for 30% of all motor-vehiclecrash fatalities.1 On average, in 2020,
there was an alcohol-impaired driving
fatality every 45 minutes.2 Among
motorcycle riders, in particular, 27% of
riders in fatal crashes were legally
drunk—a rate exceeding that of
passenger car drivers (23%) and the
highest among all vehicle types
measured.3 Aside from the fatalities,
alcohol-impaired driving crashes carried
an economic cost of an estimated $44
billion in 2010 (the most recent year for
which cost data is available).4
In order for NHTSA’s public
awareness campaigns on drunk driving
to be effective, they must effectively
‘‘compete’’ for audience attention in the
public domain among hundreds of other
major marketers, including those in the
alcoholic beverage industry that
strategically target messages to
particular groups of the public
marketplace. In the consumer marketing
context and environment, NHTSA must
work to convince members of the
driving/riding public not to operate
vehicles when impaired by alcohol.
Accordingly, NHTSA finds that it is
necessary to conduct research, as
authorized by the National Traffic Motor
Vehicle Safety Act, to conduct research
that will allow NHTSA to better tailor
its communication strategies.
Specifically, NHTSA believes a
segmentation analysis would be
especially useful to NHTSA. More
closely understanding and segmenting
drunk drivers and motorcycle riders
will enable more effective
communications programs. Insights
about drunk drivers’/motorcycle riders’
lifestyle characteristics, alcoholconsumption behaviors and attitudes
towards drunk driving will provide
useful, pragmatic information for
NHTSA’s continuing efforts to address
the drunk driving/motorcycle riding
issue responsible for so many deaths.
Accordingly, NHTSA is seeking
approval to conduct a one-time
voluntary study to obtain information to
better understand attitudes and
