SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

    Title: Evaluation Surveys for Impaired Driving and Safety Belt 
Interventions.
    OMB Number: 2127-New.
    Type of Request: New information collection requirement.
    Abstract: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 
proposes to conduct a series of telephone surveys that will examine the 
effectiveness of multiple National and State Click It or Ticket 
mobilizations and impaired

driving crackdowns, as well as examine the effectiveness of more 
localized demonstration projects designed to curb impaired driving and/
or raise belt use. The National and State telephone surveys would be 
conducted during the mid 2006-mid 2009 time period. Since Congress has 
authorized NHTSA to spend millions of dollars annually, to conduct 
National and State mobilizations and smaller demonstration projects, 
NHTSA must account for whether these initiatives were effective. The 
National telephone surveys will be administered to randomly selected 
samples of 1,200 persons age 18 and older, while regional demonstration 
surveys can range from as few as 200 participants for a small county to 
2,000 participants for a region covering several States. An essential 
part of this evaluation effort is to compare baseline and post-
intervention measures of attitudes, intervention awareness, and 
(relevant) self-reported behavior to determine if the interventions 
were associated with changes on those indices.
    Affected Public: Randomly selected members of the general public in 
telephone households.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 4,000 hours (24,000 interviews 
averaging 10 minutes each).
    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.

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A).
