Title: Uniform Criteria for State
Observational Surveys of Seat Belt Use.
OMB Control Number: 2127–0597.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval: Three years from the
approval date.
Type of Request: Reinstatement with
change of a previously approved
collection.
Affected Public: State Governments
(the 50 States, the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico and 4 territories).
Form Number: N/A.
Abstract: The Safe, Accountable,
Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity
Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU)
(Pub. L. 109–59) provides that the
Secretary of Transportation may not
approve for Section 402 funding a State
highway safety program which does not
provide satisfactory assurances that the
State will implement an annual
statewide seat belt use survey in
accordance with criteria established by
the Secretary to ensure that the
measurements of seat belt use are
accurate and representative. In addition,
in 2008, the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the
Governors Highway Safety Association
(GHSA) partnered to develop a
voluntary minimum set of performance
measures to be used by States and
federal agencies in the development and
implementation of behavioral highway
safety plans and programs. Included in
the set as the core behavior measure is
B–1, observed seat belt use for passenger
vehicles, front seat outboard occupants.
Since the original adoption of seat belt
observational survey Uniform Criteria in
1998, NHTSA and the States have
accumulated substantial experience in
the design and implementation of these
surveys. This experience has provided
insight into factors that could affect
survey accuracy and reliability. In
addition, technological improvements
in road inventories have made it
possible to select observation sites in a
more cost effective manner. For these
reasons, NHTSA proposed to revise the
Uniform Criteria so that future surveys
will give States more accurate data to
guide their occupant protection
programs.
The States themselves use the
information collected in their seat belt
use surveys to evaluate the effectiveness
of their occupant protection
countermeasures programs and to
identify relatively low seat belt use
areas and sub-populations requiring
increased program emphasis. NHTSA
uses the collected information, pooled
across the States, to determine the
relative impact of various
countermeasures and program strategies
and to provide guidance to assist the

Jkt 226001
States in achieving the highest possible
seat belt use. NHTSA also uses the
collected information from individual
States to identify those whose occupant
protection programs would most benefit
from special management reviews,
countermeasure demonstration projects
and other forms of technical assistance.
The information collected for the
States’ seat belt observational surveys is
to include a specification of the survey
design, to be reassessed and, if
appropriate, updated every five (5)
years, or earlier if the State so desires.
The survey design specification will
include a description of the
methodology used to select the survey
observation sites, the selection
probability of each site, the survey
observation procedures and protocols,
observer training and quality control
procedures. In addition, each State
annually is to submit the survey results,
including, for each observation site, the
number of front seat outboard occupants
that were observed, the number
observed to be wearing the seat belt, and
the site weighting factor used to
combine the individual site data into
the measure of statewide seat belt use.
The notice of proposed rulemaking,
which included a statement of the
collection of information and a 60-day
comment period, was published on
January 28, 2009. See 75 FR 4509. In the
preamble to the final rule published on
April 1, 2011, the agency explained how
the collection of information contained
in the final rule responded to any
comments received from the public. See
76 FR 18042. The agency also included
an identification and explanation of any
modifications made in the rule and why
it certain comments were not adopted.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
19,040 hours.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 56
(50 States, District of Columbia, Puerto
Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the
Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S.
Virgin Islands).
ADDRESSES: Send comments, within 30
days, to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, 725 17th
Street NW., Washington, DC 20503.
