SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, before an agency submits a proposed collection of information to OMB for approval, it must publish a document in the Federal Register providing a 60-day comment period and otherwise consult with members of the public and affected agencies concerning each proposed collection of information. The OMB has promulgated regulations describing what must be included in such a document. Under OMB’s regulations (at 5 CFR 1320.8(d)), an agency must ask for public comment 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 collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (iii) How to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (iv) How to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA asks public comment on the following proposed collection of information: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Older Driver Compliance With Licensing Restrictions Type of Request—New information collection requirement. OMB Clearance Number—None. Form Number—NHTSA 1186. Requested Expiration Date of Approval—3 years from date of approval. Summary of the Collection of Information—The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) proposes to collect information from licensed drivers about their driver license status and driving habits. Participation in the study will be voluntary. Drivers will volunteer for the study by responding to a mailed or individually-delivered descriptive PO 00000 Frm 00090 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 solicitation. The drivers will be asked a series of seven questions to determine eligibility to participate in a study of driving restrictions. A project assistant will then describe the proposed study to those respondents who qualify for the study and answer all questions that the drivers may have. Each driver who meets the criteria for subject selection will then be asked if he or she wishes to participate. If yes, a project assistant will ask the following questions to facilitate participation: ‘‘What is the make, model, and year of your car?’’ ‘‘What is your car’s Tag number?’’(so the installer can identify the car) and ‘‘Will you be spending the next two or three months in the area?’’ A system will be installed in the participant’s car to measure car usage; this system will collect all remaining data necessary for the study. One device will collect the car’s Global Positioning System coordinates and a companion device will capture an image of the driver to confirm the operator on each trip is the study participant. Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use of the Information—NHTSA was established to reduce the number of deaths, injuries, and economic losses resulting from motor vehicle crashes on the Nation’s highways. As part of this statutory mandate, NHTSA is authorized to conduct research as a foundation for the development of motor vehicle standards and traffic safety programs. Some States impose driving restrictions on drivers who have been found to suffer impairments that may affect safety, but it is unclear whether drivers with those restrictions comply. The proposed questions will allow research staff to ensure that prospective participants meet study inclusion criteria and facilitate their study participation. The purpose of the study is to document driving habits of drivers with restrictions imposed by the licensing authority, drivers with restrictions recommended by a certified driving rehabilitation specialist but without imposed restrictions, and a control group of unrestricted drivers of similar age. Analyses of these data will provide information about the extent to which drivers comply with license restrictions and with certified driving rehabilitation specialist recommendations, and whether such restrictions lead to reduced driving exposure. NHTSA will use the information to inform recommendations to the States regarding restricted licensing practices for the purpose of reducing injuries and loss of life on the highway.

The agency proposes to conduct 240 telephone conversations with respondents to descriptive solicitations to yield 120 participants. Estimate of the Total Annual Reporting and Record Keeping Burden Resulting from the Collection of Information—The 240 telephone conversations will average 10 minutes in length including introduction, qualifying questions, potential participant questions, logistical questions, and conclusion. The total estimated annual burden will be 40 hours. Participants will incur no costs from the data collection and participants will incur no record keeping burden and no record keeping cost from the information collection. Authority: 44 U.S.C.

Type of Review: Regular. Respondents: All existing DWI Courts and Hybrid DWI/Drug Courts will be contacted and asked to participate in the survey. The number of such Courts is projected to be approximately 650 at the time the survey is administered. The respondents will be people involved in the running of the DWI Court program. These primarily will be Judges and Court Staff, but may include others involved in specific aspects of the DWI Court program such as treatment providers, law enforcement and probation/parole personnel. Contacted Courts will determine who is appropriate to complete the sections of the questionnaire, and may apportion different sections to different people to complete, if necessary. Estimated Number of Respondents: A maximum of 650 DWI and Hybrid DWI/ Drug Courts will respond to the survey. Estimated Time per Response: The average amount of time for each Court to complete the survey is estimated at 40 minutes. This includes any time needed to retrieve information. Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 433.33 hours. Frequency of Collection: The survey will be administered a single time. Abstract: DWI Courts are a relatively new intervention to combat alcoholimpaired driving and are authorized under MAP–21, the current DOT authorization. Borrowing from the Drug Court Model, they are directed at repeat offenders and offenders having high blood alcohol concentration levels (BACs) at time of arrest. These Courts attack the source of the problem by taking a comprehensive approach to changing behavior that includes treatment and close supervision. There is a body of research that now exists to show that Drug Courts are effective. However, Drug Courts and DWI Courts may treat different populations, and questions about the effectiveness of DWI Courts and their services have yet to be adequately answered. NHTSA is presently designing a program to evaluate DWI Courts to PO 00000 Frm 00091 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 23825 directly answer key questions pertaining to their effectiveness. But in order to do that, the agency first needs detailed information on how the DWI Courts are operating. This survey is designed to obtain that information. NHTSA proposes to collect information from all known operating DWI Courts and Hybrid DWI/Drug Courts. Each Court will be contacted by mail and/or email and asked to go to a designated Web site to fill out the questionnaire. The most recent figures (from the National Association of Drug Court Professionals (NADCP)) show 598 Courts operating in the United States that are either designated DWI Courts (192) or else Hybrid DWI/Drug Courts (406). That number is projected to increase to approximately 650 Courts by the time the survey is ready to enter the field. The survey will ask about case flow, eligibility criteria, management information systems, program staffing, treatment, testing, courtroom practices, sanctions, and other relevant program characteristics. Send comments regarding the burden estimate, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20503, Attention: Desk Officer for Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or by email at oira_submission@omb.eop.gov, or fax: 202–395–5806. Comments Are Invited On: Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Department of Transportation, 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 of this notice. ADDRESSES: Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A).
