ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this notice announces that the Information Collection Request (ICR) abstracted below has been forwarded to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The ICR describes the nature of the information collection and its expected burden. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period was published on December 2, 2009 [74 FR 63225] in conjunction with a notice of proposed rulemaking that would establish a new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 226 for which the collection of information would be needed. No comments were received on the ICR. This document describes the collection of information for which NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval. The collection of information described is the ‘‘Ejection Mitigation Phase in Reporting Requirements—Part 585.’’ (OMB Control Number: 2127–XXXX) DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before July 18, 2013. 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, Attention NHTSA Desk Officer.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Title: Ejection Mitigation Phase in Reporting Requirements—Part 585. OMB Control Number: 2127–XXXX. Type of Request: New collection. Abstract: 49 U.S.C. 30111 authorizes the issuance of Federal motor vehicle VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:52 Jun 17, 2013 Jkt 229001 safety standards (FMVSSs) and regulations. The agency, in prescribing an FMVSS or regulations, considers available relevant motor vehicle safety data, and consults with other agencies, as it deems appropriate. Further, the statute mandates that in issuing any FMVSS or regulation, the agency considers whether the standard or regulation is ‘‘reasonable, practicable and appropriate for the particular type of motor vehicle or item of motor vehicle equipment for which it is prescribed,’’ and whether such a standard will contribute to carrying out the purpose of the Act. The Secretary is authorized to invoke such rules and regulations, as deemed necessary to carry out these requirements. Using this authority, on January 19, 2011, the agency published a final rule (76 FR 3212) establishing FMVSS No. 226, ‘‘Ejection mitigation.’’ The final rule contained a collection of information because of the proposed phase-in reporting requirements. The collection of information requires manufacturers of passenger cars and of trucks, buses and multi-purpose passenger vehicles (MPVs) with a GVWR of 4,536 kg (10,000 lb) or less, to annually submit a report, and maintain records related to the report, concerning the number of such vehicles that meet the ejection mitigation requirements of this FMVSS. The phase-in of the test requirements would be completed on September 1, 2017, at which time, all affected vehicles are required to meet the new requirements. The purpose of the reporting requirements is to aid the agency in determining whether a manufacturer has complied with the ejection mitigation requirements during the phase-in of those requirements. Affected Public: Businesses. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,260 hours. Comments are invited on: Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Department, including whether the information will have practical utility; the accuracy of the Departments 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. PO 00000 Frm 00128 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 36633 Issued on: June 13, 2013.

This project is called the Data Modernization (DataMod) Project. NASS collects crash data on a nationally representative sample of police-reported motor vehicle traffic crashes and related injuries. NASS data are used by Federal, State, and local government agencies, as well as by industry and academia in the U.S. and around the world. The data enable stakeholders to make informed regulatory, program, and policy decisions regarding vehicle design and traffic safety. The NASS system currently has two components: the General Estimates System (GES) and the Crashworthiness Data System (CDS). While the GES captures information on all types of traffic crashes, the CDS focuses on more severe crashes involving passenger vehicles to better document the consequences to vehicles and occupants in crashes—i.e., crashworthiness. NASS was originally designed in the 1970’s, and has not received significant revision since that time with regard to the type of data collected and the sites for data collection. Over the last three decades NHTSA understands that the scope of traffic safety studies has expanded and the data needs of the transportation community have increased and significantly changed. In addition, the distribution of the U.S. population has shifted over the past 23 years, and there is a growing need for the collection of information that addresses issues of crash avoidance. Recognizing the importance of this data, NHTSA is pursuing the DataMod Project to enhance the quality of the data collected and the overall effectiveness of the NASS. This modernization effort includes the following major objectives: • Propose data elements for the crash investigation portion of NASS that are responsive to the current and future needs of both internal and external data users; • Develop a detailed, executable sample design and data collection protocol blueprint that meets data needs in an effective and efficient manner while still maintaining national representativeness; • Modernize the information technology (IT) infrastructure; • Re-examine the electronic formats in which the crash data files are made available to the public; and PO 00000 Frm 00129 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 • Examine using new data collection methods and quality control procedures to improve data quality and timeliness. II. Comments From Stakeholders On June 21, 2012, NHTSA published a Federal Register notice (77 FR 37471– 72) soliciting comments from NASS users on the current data elements, proposed new data elements, suggestions on the research design and data collection protocol for the modernized study, and any other ideas NHTSA should consider to improve crash data. Twenty-five organizations and individuals submitted comments in response to the Federal Register Notice. Most of the comments came from research organizations and automobile manufacturers and their associations. The 25 organizations and individuals provided 313 specific comments. As expected, most of the specific comments were related to NASS CDS (292 or 93%). The remaining comments were related to GES, the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), or multiple NHTSA crash data bases. Specific comments fell into common general topic areas. The most common topic areas were scene, followed by sample design, data elements, and vehicle reconstruction. Once the comments were grouped into topic areas, it was clear that many of the comments overlapped or were the same. At least two or more associations and individuals requested the same information in the new system. For example, although we received 41 specific comments on scene information, many of the comments were similar. In fact, if you group by unique comments there are only 18 unique comments related to scene. Seven commenters wanted latitude and longitude data added to both GES and CDS in the new system. Anyone who responded previously to the previous Federal Register Notice requesting comments does not need to resubmit their comments.

I. Background

    NHTSA is undertaking a modernization effort to upgrade the National 
Automotive Sampling System (NASS) by improving the information 
technology (IT) infrastructure, updating and prioritizing the data 
collected, reselecting the sample sites and sample sizes, re-examining 
the electronic formats in which the crash data files are made available 
to the public, and improving data collection methods and quality 
control procedures, among other activities. This project is called the 
Data Modernization (DataMod) Project.
    NASS collects crash data on a nationally representative sample of 
police-reported motor vehicle traffic crashes and related injuries. 
NASS data are used by Federal, State, and local government agencies, as 
well as by industry and academia in the U.S. and around the world. The 
data enable stakeholders to make informed regulatory, program, and 
policy decisions regarding vehicle design and traffic safety. The NASS 
system currently has two components: the General Estimates System (GES) 
and the Crashworthiness Data System (CDS). While the GES captures 
information on all types of traffic crashes, the CDS focuses on more 
severe crashes involving passenger vehicles to better document the 
consequences to vehicles and occupants in crashes--i.e., 
crashworthiness.
    NASS was originally designed in the 1970's, and has not received 
significant revision since that time with regard to the type of data 
collected and the sites for data collection. Over the last three 
decades NHTSA understands that the scope of traffic safety studies has

increased and significantly changed. In addition, the distribution of 
the U.S. population has shifted over the past 23 years, and there is a 
growing need for the collection of information that addresses issues of 
crash avoidance. Recognizing the importance of this data, NHTSA is 
pursuing the DataMod Project to enhance the quality of the data 
collected and the overall effectiveness of the NASS.
    This modernization effort includes the following major objectives:
     Propose data elements for the crash investigation portion 
of NASS that are responsive to the current and future needs of both 
internal and external data users;
     Develop a detailed, executable sample design and data

efficient manner while still maintaining national representativeness;
     Modernize the information technology (IT) infrastructure;
     Re-examine the electronic formats in which the crash data 
files are made available to the public; and
     Examine using new data collection methods and quality 
control procedures to improve data quality and timeliness.

II. Comments From Stakeholders

    On June 21, 2012, NHTSA published a Federal Register notice (77 FR 
37471-72) soliciting comments from NASS users on the current data 
elements, proposed new data elements, suggestions on the research 
design and data collection protocol for the modernized study, and any 
other ideas NHTSA should consider to improve crash data.
    Twenty-five organizations and individuals submitted comments in 
response to the Federal Register Notice. Most of the comments came from 
research organizations and automobile manufacturers and their 
associations. The 25 organizations and individuals provided 313 
specific comments. As expected, most of the specific comments were
