    Title: 2006 Motor Vehicle Occupant Safety Survey.
    OMB Number: 2121-New.
    Type of Request: New information collection request.
    Abstract: The Motor Vehicle Occupant Safety Survey (MVOSS) is 
conducted on a periodic basis for the National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration to obtain a status report on attitudes, knowledge, and 
behavior related to motor vehicle occupant protection. It is a national 
telephone survey composed of two questionnaires, each administered to a 
randomly selected sample of approximately 6,000 persons age 16 and 
older. One questionnaire focuses on seat belt issues while the other 
focuses on child restraint use. Additional topics addressed by the 
survey include air bags, emergency medical services, wireless phone use 
in motor vehicles, and crash injury experience. The proposed survey is 
the sixth in the MVOSS series. The 2006 MVOSS 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: 4,016 hours (9 cognitive interviews 
averaging 40 minutes each, 30 pre-test interviews averaging 20 minutes 
each, and 12,000 final interviews averaging 20 minutes each).
    Coments are invited on: Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the 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).
