Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Preventing Motor Vehicle 
Crashes Among Novice Teen Drivers

    Summary: In compliance with the requirement of Section 
3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for opportunity 
for public comment on proposed data collection projects, the National 
Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), the National 
Institutes of Health (NIH) will publish periodic summaries of proposed 
projects to be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
for review and approval.

Proposed Collection

    Title: Preventing Motor Vehicle Crashes Among Novice Teen Drivers.
    Type of Information Collection Request: NEW. Use of Information: 
Motor vehicle crash risk is particularly elevated among novice young 
drivers during the first 6 months and 1000 miles of independent 
driving. Previously, researchers in the Prevention Research Branch of 
the NICHD have demonstrated the efficacy of educational/behavioral 
interventions for increasing parental management of teen driving and 
reducing exposure to high-risk driving conditions during the first 12 
months after licensure. The current research seeks to test the 
effectiveness of providing education to facilitate parental management 
of teen driving when delivered at motor vehicle administration offices 
at the time the teen obtains a permit, at the time of license, or at 
both permit and license. Frequency of Response: Three interviews; 
Affected Public: Individuals or households; Type of Respondents: Teens 
and Parents/guardians. The annual reporting burden is as follows: 
Estimated Number of Respondents: 2000 teens and 2000 parents; Estimated 
Number of Responses per Respondents: 3; Average Burden Hours Per 
Response: 0.35; and Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours Requested: 
4000. There are no Capital Costs, Operating Costs and/or Maintenance 
Costs to report.
