Mr. Block’s phone number is (202) 366– 6401 and his email address is alan.block@dot.gov SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 2127–New. Title: Demonstration Tests of Different High Visibility Enforcement Models. Form No.: NHTSA Forms 1121 and 1122. Type of Review: Regular. Respondents: Telephone interviews will be administered to residents in each of five selected communities who are drivers, age 18 and older, have access to a residential landline and/or a personal cell phone, and have consumed alcohol in the past year. Inperson interviews will be conducted in each of the five selected communities with bar patrons age 21 and older. Estimated Number of Respondents: 18,750 telephone interviews and 6,000 bar patron interviews. Estimated Time per Response: 10 minutes per interview. Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 4,125 hours. Frequency of Collection: There will be three survey waves at each of the five community sites. For the telephone survey, most respondents will be interviewed once. A small subset will be re-interviewed during the second and third survey waves. For the bar patron survey, which also will involve three survey waves at each of the five community sites, each respondent will be interviewed once. That interview will be split such that questions will be asked of each respondent both during entry and exit from the bar. Abstract: Highly visible enforcement (HVE) has had the strongest support in the research literature for effectiveness in reducing alcohol-impaired driving. PO 00000 Frm 00109 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 78333 The unknown at this time is the relationship of the amount of HVE to perceived risk within a community of an alcohol-impaired driver being stopped by law enforcement. In particular, does the perceived risk increase as the amount of HVE increases? And is the optimum effect on awareness and perceived risk achieved through an integrated program where HVE is integrated into regular law enforcement operations? NHTSA proposes to answer those questions by selecting community sites that will engage in different levels of HVE activity during a one-year intervention period, and monitoring community awareness of those enforcement programs and the perceived risk of an alcohol-impaired driver being stopped by law enforcement. Five sites will be selected encompassing integrated, intermediate, and more limited HVE programs. Data collection to assess program awareness and perceived risk will be of two forms. A telephone survey will be conducted in each of the five communities prior to the onset of the intervention, at an interim point in the program, and at its conclusion, for a total of three survey waves per community. Most respondents will be interviewed once; however, a subset will be re-interviewed during the second and third survey waves to examine individual changes in perceptions and awareness over time. The initial survey wave in each community will be composed of 1,200 completed interviews. One hundred respondents in each community from the first survey wave will be reinterviewed during the second survey wave. The second wave will also include interviews with 1,200 new respondents per community for a total of 1,300 interviews. Fifty respondents re-interviewed during the second survey wave will be interviewed a final time during the third survey wave. They will be added to 1,200 new survey respondents per community for a total of 1,250 interviews. The second form of data collection will be in-person interviews with bar patrons. The intent here is to collect information on program awareness and perceived risk from a population with a heavier concentration of individuals atrisk of driving at illegal blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) than one would find in a general population survey. Similar to the telephone surveys, there will be a baseline, interim and final data collection wave at each of the five community sites. Four hundred bar patrons will be interviewed per community per survey wave. E:\FR\FM\16DEN1.SGM 16DEN1
