SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, before an agency submits a proposed collection of information to OMB for approval, it must publish a document in the Federal Register providing a 60-day comment period and otherwise consult with members of the public and affected agencies concerning each proposed collection of information. The OMB has promulgated regulations describing what must be included in such a document. Under OMB’s regulations (at 5 CFR 1320.8(d)), an agency must ask for public comment on the following: (i) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (ii) The accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed PO 00000 Frm 00086 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (iii) How to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (iv) How to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA asks public comment on the following proposed collection of information: 2008 National Survey of Drinking and Driving Attitudes and Behavior Type of Request—New information collection requirement. OMB Clearance Number—None. Form Number—This collection of information uses no standard forms. Requested Expiration Date of Approval—December 31, 2009. Summary of the Collection of Information—NHTSA proposes to conduct a year 2008 National Survey of Drinking and Driving Attitudes and Behavior by telephone among a national probability sample of 6,000 adults (age 16 and older). Participation by respondents would be voluntary. Survey topics would include frequency of drinking and driving and of riding with a driver who has been drinking, ways to prevent drinking and driving, enforcement of drinking and driving laws, and understanding of Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) levels and legal limits. In conducting the proposed survey, the interviewers would use computerassisted telephone interviewing to reduce interview length and minimize recording errors. A Spanish-language translation and bilingual interviewers would be used to minimize language barriers to participation. The proposed survey would be anonymous; the survey would not collect any personal information that would allow anyone to identify respondents. Participant names would not be collected during the interview and the telephone number used to reach the respondent would be separated from the data record prior to its entry into the analytical database. Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use of the Information—The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) mission is to save lives, prevent injuries, and reduce healthcare and other economic costs associated with motor vehicle crashes. The E:\FR\FM\27APN1.SGM 27APN1 cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 81 / Friday April 27, 2007 / Notices agency’s goal is to reduce the rate of fatalities in high (0.08+) Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) crashes per 100 million vehicle miles traveled from 0.51 in 2003 to 0.48 in 2008. In order to plan and evaluate programs intended to reduce alcohol-impaired driving, NHTSA needs to periodically update its knowledge and understanding of the public’s attitudes and behaviors with respect to drinking and driving. NHTSA began measuring the driving age public’s attitudes and behaviors regarding drinking and driving in 1991. The proposed study, to be administered in the 1st quarter of 2008, and the eighth in this series of surveys, will collect data on topics included in the first seven studies (and some additional topics), including: frequency of drinking and driving and of riding with a driver who has been drinking, ways to prevent drinking and driving, enforcement of drinking and driving laws, and understanding of BAC levels and legal limits. The findings from this proposed collection of information will assist NHTSA in addressing the problem of alcohol-impaired driving and in formulating programs and recommendations to Congress. NHTSA will use the findings to help focus current programs and activities to achieve the greatest benefit, to develop new programs to decrease the likelihood of drinking and driving, and to provide informational support to States, localities, and law enforcement agencies that will aid them in their efforts to reduce drinking and driving crashes and injuries. Description of the Likely Respondents (Including Estimated Number, and Proposed Frequency of Response to the Collection of Information)—Under this proposed effort, the Contractor would conduct a survey pretest and final survey administration. A total of 18 telephone pretest interviews averaging 20 minutes in length would be administered to test the computer programming of the questionnaire, and to determine if any last adjustments to the questionnaire are needed. Following any revisions carried out as a result of the pretest, the Contractor would conduct telephone interviews averaging approximately 20 minutes in length with 6,000 randomly selected members of the general public age 16 and older in telephone households. For nondrinkers and non-drivers the interview will average below 20 minutes, while for drinker-drivers it will average slightly over 20 minutes. The respondent sample would be selected from all 50 States plus the District of Columbia. Interviews would be VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:18 Apr 26, 2007 Jkt 211001 conducted with persons at residential phone numbers selected through random digit dialing. Businesses are ineligible for the sample and would not be interviewed. No more than one respondent would be selected per household. Each member of the sample would complete one interview. Estimate of the Total Annual Reporting and Record Keeping Burden Resulting from the Collection of Information—NHTSA estimates that the pretest interviews would require an average of 20 minutes apiece or a total of 6 hours for the 18 respondents. Each respondent in the final survey sample would require an average of 20 minutes to complete the telephone interview or a total of 2,000 hours for the 6,000 respondents. Thus, the number of estimated reporting burden hours a year on the general public would be 2,006 for the proposed survey (6 for the pretest, and 2000 for the final survey administration). The respondents would not incur any reporting cost from the information collection. The respondents also would not incur any record keeping burden or record keeping cost from the information collection. Authority: 44 U.S.C. Section 3506(c)(2)(A).

E7–8072 Filed 4–26–07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910–59–P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Surface Transportation Board [STB Finance Docket No. 35008] Utah Transit Authority—Acquisition Exemption—Union Pacific Railroad Company Utah Transit Authority (UTA), a noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 1 to acquire from Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) the ‘‘remaining width’’ 2 of a portion of the Bingham Industrial Lead (Lead) extending from milepost 0.0. at Midvale to milepost 6.60 at Bagley, in Salt Lake County, UT. UTA 1 The notice was filed on March 27, 2007, and, at the Board’s request, was supplemented on April 16, 2007, with a letter describing the trackage to be acquired. April 16, 2007 will be considered the filing date and the basis for all due dates. 2 According to UTA, the remaining width is a 35foot wide strip of land, the portion of the right-ofway on which the rail and supporting operating infrastructure are located. UTA previously acquired a 35-foot wide strip of the Bingham Industrial Lead right-of-way. See Utah Transit Authority— Acquisition Exemption—Certain Assets of Union Pacific Railroad Company, STB Finance Docket No. 34170 (STB served May 22, 2002). PO 00000 Frm 00087 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 21069 attached a copy of the agreement with UP, captioned ‘‘Eighth Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement.’’ UTA maintains that the acquisition does not require Board authorization and, on April 20, 2007, filed a motion to dismiss the notice of exemption and also filed a copy of its Administration and Coordination Agreement with Savage Bingham & Garfield Railroad Company (SBGR), the carrier that is to operate the Lead. Previously, on February 27, 2007, SBGR, a noncarrier, invoked the class exemption to acquire from UP and operate freight easements upon, over, and across a number of rail lines and track, including the Lead between milepost 0.18 at Midvale and milepost 6.60 at Bagley Spur. See Savage Bingham & Garfield Railroad Company—Acquisition and Operation Exemption, STB Finance Docket No. 35002, served and published in the Federal Register on March 15, 2007 (72 FR 12261) (Savage Bingham). In the notice of exemption, SBGR stated that in a separate transaction UP would: (1) Convey the right-of-way of the Lead to UTA; (2) reserve an operating easement over the Lead; and (3) convey the operating easement over the Lead to SBGR. SBGR also stated that it would enter into an Administration and Coordination Agreement with UTA to govern the rail freight services SBGR would provide over the Lead during specified periods when UTA’s planned passenger light rail services would operate.3 UTA certifies that its projected revenues as a result of this transaction will not exceed those that would qualify it as a Class III rail carrier. The earliest this transaction may be consummated is May 16, 2007, the effective date of the notice of exemption, as supplemented (30 days after the exemption was filed). If the verified notice contains false or misleading information, the exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) may be filed at any time. The filing of 3 That exemption was scheduled to become effective on March 29, 2007, but was stayed at the request of Utah Shipper Coalition (Coalition) in a decision served on March 28, 2007, pending further action by the Board. The Board stated that UTA must obtain Board approval or a finding that Board approval is not needed for it to acquire the Lead before SBGR may proceed with the acquisition in STB Finance Docket No. 35002. Additionally, the Board stated that UTA’s submission should include a copy of the Administration and Coordination Agreement it plans to enter into with SBGR and a copy of any other related agreements not previously submitted that would allow the Board to ascertain whether the proposed transaction would allow SBGR to fulfill the common carrier obligation it seeks to acquire.

    Description of the Likely Respondents (Including Estimated Number, 
and Proposed Frequency of Response to the Collection of Information)--
Under this proposed effort, the Contractor would conduct a survey 
pretest and final survey administration. A total of 18 telephone 
pretest interviews averaging 20 minutes in length would be administered 
to test the computer programming of the questionnaire, and to determine 
if any last adjustments to the questionnaire are needed. Following any 
revisions carried out as a result of the pretest, the Contractor would 
conduct telephone interviews averaging approximately 20 minutes in 
length with 6,000 randomly selected members of the general public age 
16 and older in telephone households. For non-drinkers and non-drivers 
the interview will average below 20 minutes, while for drinker-drivers 
it will average slightly over 20 minutes. The respondent sample would 
be selected from all 50 States plus the District of Columbia. 
Interviews would be conducted with persons at residential phone numbers 
selected through random digit dialing. Businesses are ineligible for 
the sample and would not be interviewed. No more than one respondent 
would be selected per household. Each member of the sample would 
complete one interview.
    Estimate of the Total Annual Reporting and Record Keeping Burden 
Resulting from the Collection of Information--NHTSA estimates that the 
pretest interviews would require an average of 20 minutes apiece or a 
total of 6 hours for the 18 respondents. Each respondent in the final 
survey sample would require an average of 20 minutes to complete the 
telephone interview or a total of 2,000 hours for the 6,000 
respondents. Thus, the number of estimated reporting burden hours a 
year on the general public would be 2,006 for the proposed survey (6 
for the pretest, and 2000 for the final survey administration). The 
respondents would not incur any reporting cost from the information 
collection. The respondents also would not incur any record keeping 
burden or record keeping cost from the information collection.
