SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Evaluation of Impaired Riding
Interventions.
Type of Request: New information
collection request.
Abstract: The heavy toll that impaired
driving exacts on the Nation in
fatalities, injuries, and economic costs is
well documented. Impaired motorcycle
riding has also been an increasing
concern on our Nation’s roads.
Motorcycle fatalities in the US
decreased in 2009 for the first time after
steadily increasing for 11 years;
however, even with this decline, the
number of motorcycle fatalities in 2009
was nearly double that from a decade
earlier. Alcohol impairment is a factor
that contributes to a substantial
proportion of fatal motorcycle crashes.
In 2009, 30% of motorcycle riders
fatally injured in crashes had a blood
alcohol concentration (BAC) at or above
.08 g/dL, which is per se evidence of
impaired riding in all States. Forty-two
percent of riders who died in singlevehicle crashes in 2009, and 63% of
riders who died in single-vehicle
crashes on weekend nights, had a BAC
of .08 g/dL or higher.
In 2012, NHTSA anticipates
sponsoring demonstration projects in
multiple locations to conduct
interventions with the purpose of
reducing impaired motorcycle riding.
NHTSA plans to evaluate these
interventions to determine their
effectiveness. A key component of this
evaluation effort will use brief
interviews to assess motorcycle riders’
knowledge of the intervention, selfreported drinking and riding behavior,
and belief that alcohol-impaired driving
laws are enforced for all motorists,
including motorcycle riders in the areas
in which the interventions will occur.
In-person interviews will be
conducted with motorcycle riders in up
to 4 program locations, and in up to 3
comparison locations not carrying out
an intervention. Motorcycle riders will
be interviewed at sites within the
program and comparison locations
where riders congregate. Interview

Fmt 4703

length will average 5 minutes and will
collect information on attitudes,
awareness, knowledge, and behavior
related to the intervention.
The interviews will follow a pre-post
design where they are administered
prior to the implementation of the
intervention and after its conclusion.
For interventions where a pre-post
design would not be possible (i.e.,
interventions that are conducted in
conjunction with an infrequentlyoccurring event), the interviews will
follow a test-comparison design where
they are administered during the
intervention in the program location,
and in a comparison location that did
not experience an intervention. The
proposed interviews will be
anonymous. Participation by
respondents will be voluntary.
Affected Public: NHTSA plans to
recruit up to 500 riders per interview
administration. Up to 2 waves of
program activity are planned in each
program location, and thus interviews
will be administered a maximum of 4
times (before and after each wave of
program activity) in each of the 7 study
locations (4 program locations and 3
comparison locations). Thus, a total
maximum of 14,000 motorcycle riders
will be interviewed.
Estimated Total Burden: Estimated
time for each interview is 5 minutes.
Hence, the total estimated burden is
1,166.67 hours. Respondents would not
incur any recordkeeping burden or
recordkeeping cost from the information
collection.
Comments are invited 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
information collection;
(iii) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(iv) 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.
