National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

    Title: 2002 Motor Vehicle Occupant Safety Survey.
    OMB Number: 2127-New.
    Type of Request: New information collection requirement.
    Abstract: The Motor Vehicle Occupant Safety Survey (MVOSS) is 
conducted biennially for the National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration to collect data on occupant protection issues. It is a 
national telephone survey composed of two questionnaires, each 
administered to a randomly selected

[[Page 62520]]

sample of approximately 6,000 persons age sixteen and older. One 
questionnaire focuses on attitudes, knowledge, and self-reported 
behavior regarding seat belts, while the other questionnaire focuses on 
child restraint use. Additional topics addressed by the survey include 
air bags, emergency medical services, and crash injury experience. The 
proposed survey is the fifth in the MVOSS series. The 2002 Motor 
Vehicle Occupant Safety Survey will collect data on topics included in 
the preceding surveys in order to monitor change over time in the use 
of occupant protection devices and in attitudes and knowledge related 
to motor vehicle occupant safety. The survey will also include new 
questions that address emergent issues in occupant protection.
    Affected Public: Randomly selected members of the general public 
aged sixteen and older in telephone households.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 4,000 hours.
    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 Department's 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.

    Issued on: October 2, 2002.
