SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Alcohol ignition interlock devices
have been used for over 20 years by
criminal justice systems for some
individuals convicted of driving while
impaired by alcohol (DWI). Nearly every
State and the District of Columbia allow
or require alcohol interlocks. Ignition
interlocks have been shown to reduce
DWI recidivism by about 65 percent
when installed on offenders’ vehicles.
Despite their benefits, a number of
practical barriers to utilization of
ignition interlocks have been identified,
and only a small proportion of offenders
who are eligible for interlocks are now
using the devices. Law enforcement
officials make approximately 1.4 million
impaired driving arrests each year and
while the number of convictions is
somewhat less and the number of repeat
offenders yet lower, the approximately
100,000 ignition interlocks that are in
use at any one time are a small fraction
of the number that could be in service.
Factors that limit the use of ignition
interlocks include:
• Absence of statutory language
authorizing (or requiring) use of ignition
interlocks;
• Lack of knowledge and the latest
information about ignition interlocks
and interlock programs by judges and
other court personnel;
• Concerns about the reliability and
integrity of ignition interlocks;
• Concerns about cost, particularly
among offenders without financial
means;
• Concerns about the lack of
availability of ignition interlocks and
service providers in certain parts of the
country, especially rural areas.
NHTSA is interested in examining the
benefits of expanded ignition interlock

use as a means to further reduce deaths
and injuries from impaired driving. In
the 1980’s and early 1990’s, there was
a steep decline in the number of alcohol
related traffic fatalities. However in the
past decade, there have been only very
modest improvements. The Agency is
working closely with State highway
safety offices and other traffic safety and
professional organizations to implement
several priority strategies for reducing
impaired driving including high
visibility law enforcement and
improvements to prosecution and court
processes. NHTSA believes that
expanded use of ignition interlocks is a
promising complement to these program
strategies.
NHTSA conducts research and
evaluation to support utilization of
ignition interlocks as part of a
comprehensive impaired driving
program. The Agency is also
participating in the Campaign to
Eliminate Drunk Driving, an initiative
launched in November 2006 with
support from a broad range of national
organizations and Federal agencies,
including Mothers Against Drunk
Driving, the International Association of
Chiefs of Police, the Governors Highway
Safety Association, the Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety, the
Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers,
The Century Council, and others. The
Campaign focuses attention on several
key strategies including ignition
interlocks:
Æ High visibility enforcement,
including use of sobriety checkpoints.
Æ Increased use of ignition interlocks
for impaired driving offenders.
Æ Establishment of a Blue Ribbon
Panel to research and develop advanced
impairment detection technology.
Æ Grassroots support for these efforts.
This meeting will build on current
and past efforts by reviewing progress,
identifying barriers and discussing
strategies for expanding utilization of
ignition interlocks. The meeting is open
to the public to the extent that seating
capacity allows.

The agenda for the meeting provides
for a charge by the Secretary of the
Treasury or his designate that the
Committee discuss particular issues,
and a working session. Following the
working session, the Committee will
present a written report of its
recommendations. The meeting will be
closed to the public, pursuant to 5
U.S.C. App. 2, section 10(d) and Public
Law 103–202, section 202(c)(1)(B) (31
U.S.C. 3121 note).
This notice shall constitute my
determination, pursuant to the authority
placed in heads of agencies by 5 U.S.C.
App. 2, section 10(d) and vested in me
by Treasury Department Order No. 101–
05, that the meeting will consist of
discussions and debates of the issues
presented to the Committee by the
Secretary of the Treasury and the
making of recommendations of the
Committee to the Secretary, pursuant to
Public Law 103–202, § 202(c)(1)(B).
Thus, this information is exempt from
disclosure under that provision and 5
U.S.C. 552b(c)(3)(B). In addition, the
meeting is concerned with information
that is exempt from disclosure under 5
U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(A). The public interest

requires that such meetings be closed to
the public because the Treasury
Department requires frank and full
advice from representatives of the
financial community prior to making its
final decisions on major financing
operations. Historically, this advice has
been offered by debt management
advisory committees established by the
several major segments of the financial
community. When so utilized, such a
committee is recognized to be an
advisory committee under 5 U.S.C. App.
2, section 3.
Although the Treasury’s final
announcement of financing plans may
not reflect the recommendations
provided in reports of the Committee,
premature disclosure of the Committee’s
deliberations and reports would be
likely to lead to significant financial
speculation in the securities market.
Thus, this meeting falls within the
exemption covered by 5 U.S.C.
552b(c)(9)(A).
Treasury staff will provide a technical
briefing to the press on the day before
the Committee meeting, following the
release of a statement of economic
conditions, financing estimates and
PO 00000

technical charts. This briefing will give
the press an opportunity to ask
questions about financing projections
and technical charts. The day after the
Committee meeting, Treasury will
release the minutes of the meeting, any
charts that were discussed at the
meeting, and the Committee’s report to
the Secretary.
The Office of Debt Management is
responsible for maintaining records of
debt management advisory committee
meetings and for providing annual
reports setting forth a summary of
Committee activities and such other
matters as may be informative to the
public consistent with the policy of 5
U.S.C. 552(b). The Designated Federal
Officer or other responsible agency
official who may be contacted for
additional information is Karthik
Ramanathan, Director, Office of Debt
Management, at (202) 622–2042.
