DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

National Institutes of Health


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Preventing Motor 
Vehicle Crashes Among Young Drivers

    Summary: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institute of Child Health 
and Human Development (NICHD), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) 
has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request 
for review and approval of the information collection listed below. 
This proposed information collection was previously published in the 
Federal Register on June 13, 2006, page 34142, and allowed 60-days for 
public comment. No public comments were received. The purpose of this 
notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The 
National Institutes of Health may not conduct or sponsor, and the 
respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection 
that has been extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 
1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

Proposed Collection

    Title: Preventing Motor Vehicle Crashes Among Young Drivers, OMB 
No. 0925-new.
    Type of Information Collection Request: New.
    Need and Use of Information Collection: Motor vehicle crash risk is 
particularly elevated among novice young drivers during the first six 
months and 1000 miles of independent driving. Previously, researchers 
in the Prevention Research Branch of the NICHD have demonstrated the 
efficacy of the Checkpoints Program 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 an educational program entitled 
The Checkpoints Program 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: 3 times over two years.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Type of Respondents: Adolescents and parents/guardians.
    The annual reporting burden is as follows: Estimated Number of 
Respondents: 4000; Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 3; 
Average Burden Hours Per Response: 35; and Estimated Total Annual 
Burden Hours Requested: 4,200. The annualized cost to respondents is 
estimated at: $42,000 (based on $10 per hour).
    There are no Capital Costs to report. There are no Operating or 
Maintenance Costs to report.
