Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FHWA has forwarded the information collection request 
described in this notice to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
for review and approval. We published a Federal Register Notice with a 
60-day public comment period on this information collection on August 
6, 2002. We are required to publish this notice in the Federal Register 
by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES: Please submit comments by June 2, 2003.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street, 
NW., Washington, DC 20503, Attention: DOT Desk Officer. You are asked 
to comment on any aspect of this information collection, including: (1) 
Whether the proposed collection is necessary for the FHWA's 
performance; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for the 
FHWA to enhance the quality, usefulness, and clarity of the collected 
information; and (4) ways that the burden could be minimized, including 
the use of electronic technology, without reducing the quality of the 
collected information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Survey of Drivers' Attitudes on Speeding and Speed Limits.
    Abstract: The FHWA plans to enter into a cooperative agreement with 
the State of Massachusetts to initiate a project entitled 
``Demonstration and Evaluation of Rational Speed Limits,'' to be 
performed by the Governor's Highway Safety Bureau of the Commonwealth 
of Massachusetts. As part of this cooperative agreement, information on 
local drivers' attitudes towards speeding, speed limits and enforcement 
will be gathered through a survey. A survey will be performed both 
before and after engineering, enforcement and educational measures to 
reduce speeding are implemented. The information obtained from the 
survey will help the FHWA understand the effectiveness of the measures 
and drivers' responses to them. The responses to the survey will be 
voluntary and will not involve information that is required by 
regulations. There will be not direct costs to the respondents other 
than their time.
    Respondents: Drivers in Natick, Massachusetts.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: The burden hours per response will 
be approximately 10 minutes. We estimate that a total of 800 drivers 
(400 ``before'' and 400 ``after'') will be involved in the survey. 
Therefore, the total estimate is 133 burden hours.
