    Title: National Survey of Pedestrian and Bicycle Attitudes,

    OMB Number: 2127-NEW.
    Type of Request: New information collection.
    Abstract: NHTSA proposes to conduct a survey by telephone among a 
national probability sample of 4,200 adults, including older adults. 
Participation by respondents would be voluntary. The proposed survey 
would collect information on pedestrian and bicycling behavior, 
obstacles to walking and bicycling, use of bicycle helmets, training in 
bicycling safety, pedestrian and bicyclist safety education for 
children, knowledge of safety issues and rules of the road, assessment 
of existing community facilities for walking and bicycling, and other 
related issues.
    In conducting the proposed survey, the interviewers would use 
computer-assisted telephone interviewing to reduce interview length and 
minimize recording errors. A Spanish-language translation and bilingual 
interviewers are proposed to minimize language barriers to 
participation. The proposed survey would be anonymous and confidential
    Affected Public: Randomly selected members of the general public 
aged sixteen and older in telephone households.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1514.

ADDRESSES: Send comments, within 30 days, to the Office of Information 
and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725-17th

    Comments are invited on: Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Department, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; the accuracy of the Departments estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize 
the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including 
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology. A Comment to OMB is most effective if OMB 
receives it within 30 days of publication.
