• The collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both
the respondents and the Federal
Government;
• The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of
concern to other Federal agencies;
• Any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future;
• Personally identifiable information
(PII) is collected only to the extent
necessary and is not retained;
• Information gathered will be used
only internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the agency;
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collections
will not be designed or expected to
yield statistically reliable results or used
as though the results are generalizable to
the population of study.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance provides useful information,
but it does not yield data that can be
generalized to the overall population.
This type of generic clearance for
qualitative information will not be used
for quantitative information collections
that are designed to yield reliably
actionable results, such as monitoring
trends over time or documenting
program performance. Such data uses
require more rigorous designs that
address: The target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior to
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
As a general matter, information
collections will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,

Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0049.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently-approved information
collection.
Respondents: State and local agencies,
the general public and stakeholders,
original equipment manufacturers and
suppliers to the commercial motor
vehicle (CMV) industry, fleets, owneroperators, state CMV safety agencies,
research organizations and contractors,
news organizations, safety advocacy

Estimated Number of Respondents:
9,270.
Estimated Time per Response: Range
from 5–30 minutes.
Expiration Date: March 31, 2018.
Frequency of Response: Generally, on
an annual basis.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
2,233.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
Whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the performance of
FMCSA’s functions; (2) the accuracy of
the estimated burden; (3) ways for
FMCSA to enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the collected
information; and (4) ways that the
burden could be minimized without
reducing the quality of the collected
information. The agency will summarize
or include your comments in the request
for OMB’s clearance of this information
collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Psychological Constructs
Related to Seat Belt Use (PCRSBU).
Type of Request: New information
collection requirement.
Abstract: Seat belts reduce the risk of
death by 45% among drivers and frontseat passenger car occupants and by
60% among drivers and front-seat light
truck occupants across all crash types—
yet, not everyone uses a seat belt on
every trip. According to the latest
National Occupant Protection Use
Survey (NOPUS), seat belt use in the
United States was 90% in 2016.
Although a high percentage of people
were observed wearing seat belts
through NOPUS, among passenger
vehicle occupants killed in motor
vehicle crashes in 2015, only 52% were
wearing a seat belt. Thus, there is still
room to save lives by getting more
people to wear seat belts. In order to
develop programs with potential to
reach those who do not wear seat belts,
we need to know as much as we can
about this group. Currently, we know a
lot about the demographic correlates of
seat belt use (e.g., age, gender), but we
do not know much about other
individual-level contributors to nonuse.
The purpose of this research is to
identify psychological constructs and
psychosocial factors associated with the
non-use and part-time use of seat belts
to inform the development of
countermeasures.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) proposes to
conduct a nationally representative
web-based survey using the Growth for
Knowledge (GfK) KnowledgePanel, a
probability-based web panel that has

been in existence since 1999, to identify
psychological constructs and
psychosocial factors associated with the
non-use and part-time use of seat belts.
The survey would measure self-reported
seat belt use, psychosocial factors, and
psychological constructs to understand
how these factors are related. The
proposed survey is titled,
‘‘Psychological Constructs Related to
Seat Belt Use’’ (PCRSBU).
Affected Public: Under this proposed
data collection, the potential respondent
universe would be U.S. residents aged
16 years or older who have driven or
ridden in a motor vehicle within the
past year. Survey participants would be
recruited from the KnowledgePanel
using email invitations to obtain 6,000
completed surveys. Each participant
would complete a single survey; there
would be no request for additional
follow-up information or response.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The
total respondent burden for this data
collection would be 2,070 hours.
NHTSA would contact a maximum of
20,394 KnowledgePanel panelists by
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
email to obtain 6,000 completed
interviews. Of the 20,394 panelists
contacted, it is estimated that
approximately 50% or 10,197 potential
respondents would log into the web
portal to complete the screener
instrument. The estimated burden for
the screener is 170 hours (10,197 * 1
minute = 10,197 minutes/60 = 170
hours). Based upon the screening
questions as well as the sampling plan,
it is estimated 510 respondents would
not be eligible and that 3,371 eligible
respondents would not be sampled.
Based upon a 95% completion rate
among the 6,316 sampled respondents,
it is anticipated that 6,000 respondents
would complete the full survey. The
estimated burden for the full survey,
which would average 19 minutes in
length, is 1,900 hours (6,000 * 19
minutes = 114,000 minutes/60 = 1,900
hours). The estimated burden for this
data collection is 170 hours for the
screener and 1,900 hours for the full
survey for a total of 2,070 hours.
