annually, or 420 over the three year
period under a renewed clearance.
Likely respondents are licensed drivers
18 years of age and older who have not
participated in a previous focus group
session. In some cases, stakeholders
such as law enforcement and health
officials may participate in the focus
groups. Each respondent would
participate in one focus group.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
There will be an average of 10
participants per focus group, for an
annual total of 1,400 respondents and a
three year total of 4,200 respondents.
Estimated Time per Response: Each
respondent would participate in a single
focus group that would average 80
minutes in duration. Participants will be
recruited by intercept or telephone
using a brief screening questionnaire
estimated to take no more than another
10 minutes, for a total of 90 minutes.
Total Estimated Annual Burden
Hours: The total estimated annual
burden would be 140 groups × 10
participants × 90 minutes = 2,100 hours.
Total estimated burden under the three
year period covered by the clearance
would be 6,300 hours.
Frequency of Collection: Focus groups
will be conducted on an as-needed
(periodic) basis during each of the three
years covered by the clearance.
Abstract: The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
proposes to renew its generic clearance
to conduct focus groups. NHTSA
anticipates the need to periodically
conduct focus group sessions to refine
its efforts to reduce traffic injuries and
fatalities. Session participation would
be voluntary and the focus group
participants would receive
remuneration for their involvement. The
respondents would not incur any
reporting cost from the information
collection. The respondents also would
not incur any record keeping burden or
record keeping cost from the
information collection. Focus group
topics will include: Strategic messaging
(e.g., slogans or advertisement concepts
concerning seat belt use, impaired
driving, driver distraction, tire pressure
monitoring), problem identification
(e.g., discussions with high-risk groups
on beliefs, attitudes, driving behaviors,
or reactions to interventions and
countermeasures), and resource
development (e.g., testing materials
designed to communicate essential
information about traffic safety issues
such as vehicle or equipment
performance rating systems). For each
focus group project, NHTSA will submit
an individual Information Collection
Request (ICR) to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
