Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).

Title: Research on Evacuating Persons
with Mobility Impairments.
OMB Control Number: None.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(new information collection).
Number of Respondents: 280.
Average Hours per Response: Surveys,
15 minutes; Interviews, 2 hours; and
Focus groups, 2 hours.
Burden Hours: 193.
Needs and Uses: NIST’s previous
research on elevators has primarily
focused on the technical aspects of
ensuring safe and reliable evacuation for
the occupants of tall buildings. In
addition, the International Code Council
and the National Fire Protection
Association provide requirements for
the use of elevators for both occupant
evacuation and fire fighter access into
the building. However, there still is
little understanding of how occupants
use elevator systems during fire
emergencies.
The focus of this research effort is
two-fold: (1) to gain an understanding of
how building occupants with mobility
impairments currently evacuate multistory buildings in the United States
during fire emergencies, and (2) to learn
about the concerns of persons with
mobility impairments on using elevators
during fire evacuations. This research
aims to provide guidance to designers
and building managers on aspects of fire
evacuation that concern occupants with
mobility impairments and on how to
improve elevator design and usage
during fire emergencies. The research
includes four opportunities for
participation:
(a) Building managers and designated
safety personnel from a sample of four
to ten existing and new federal high-rise
buildings in the United States will be
contacted to complete a questionnaire
requesting information on the
emergency plans and procedures for the
building, including how the buildings’
evacuation plans incorporate the use of
the existing elevator system to evacuate
occupants with mobility impairments
during fire emergencies. The building
emergency plan will be requested from
either the General Services
Administration (GSA) or from the
building manager.
(b) Occupants with mobility
impairments in the buildings identified
in part (a) will be asked for basic
information on their mobility with
