E8–1758 Filed 1–30–08; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910–59–P Title: Evaluation Surveys for Impaired Driving and Safety Belt Interventions. OMB Number: 2127–0646. Type of Request: Revision of the previously approved collection of information. Abstract: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration proposes to conduct a series of telephone surveys that will examine the effectiveness of multiple National and State Click It or Ticket mobilizations and impaired driving crackdowns designed to curb impaired driving and/or raise belt use. The National and State telephone surveys would be conducted during the VerDate Aug<31>2005 mid 2008-mid 2011 time period. Since Congress has authorized NHTSA to spend millions of dollars annually to conduct National and State mobilizations, NHTSA must account for whether these initiatives were effective. The National telephone surveys will be administered to randomly selected samples of 1,600 persons age 18 and older. State surveys will be administered according to media markets where paid media was purchased and can range from as few as 400 participants per media market surveyed in a State. An essential part of this evaluation effort is to compare baseline and post-intervention measures of attitudes, intervention awareness, and (relevant) self-reported behavior to determine if the interventions were associated with changes on those indices. Affected Public: Randomly selected members of the general public in telephone households. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 27,467 hours (164,800 interviews averaging 10 minutes each). Comments are invited on: Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Department, including whether the information will have practical utility; the accuracy of the Department’s estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. A Comment to OMB is most effective if OMB receives it within 30 days of publication.
