SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 2127–New.
Title: Survey of DWI Courts.
Form No.: NHTSA Form 1175.
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

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.
