(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;
(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 for public comments on
the following proposed collection of
information:
Title: Driver Distraction Measurement
Research.
Type of Request: New collection.
OMB Clearance Number: None.
Form Number: NHTSA Form 1157.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval: Three years from date of
approval.
Summary of the Collection of
Information: NHTSA proposes to collect
information from the public as part of a
multi-study research effort that supports
the development of measurement
techniques for auditory-vocal
interactions involving in-vehicle and
portable devices. Questions will be
asked in conjunction with driving
experiments involving both driving
simulator and visual occlusion
apparatus research tools. The research
will involve driving simulator-based
experiments in which participants
perform specific secondary tasks while
driving. The questions will be used to
assess individuals’ suitability for study
participation, to obtain ratings of task
difficulty that can be compared to
driving performance data, and to assess
the incidence and severity of any
discomfort stemming from driving the
simulator.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use of the
Information: The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration’s
(NHTSA) mission is to save lives,
prevent injuries, and reduce healthcare
and other economic costs associated
with motor vehicle crashes. An April
2010 program plan document titled
‘‘Overview of the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration’s Driver
Distraction Program’’ announced
multiple efforts to reduce the dangers
associated with distracted driving. This
research aims to inform the
development of test procedures and
criteria that could be used for voice
systems.

Respondents: We estimate that 1,650
persons will complete at least a portion
of the information collection.
Respondents will be licensed drivers
aged 18–70 years who drive at least
3,000 miles annually, are in good
health, and do not require to assistive
devices to safely operate a vehicle.
Estimated Number of Respondents: In
support of this research, it is estimated
that 1,650 individuals will complete the
first set of screening questions and 1,400
will complete the second set of
screening questions. Of the 1,400, it is
estimated that 1,000 individuals will
meet criteria for participation. From
those 1,000, approximately 425
individuals will be chosen to produce a
sample providing a balance of age and
genders and will be scheduled for study
participation.
Estimated Time per Response:
Completion of the screening questions is
estimated to take approximately 5
minutes for the first set and 10 minutes
for the second set. The Rating Scale for
Mental Effort (RSME) is estimated to
take 2.5 minutes per participant and the
simulator sickness questionnaire is
estimated to take 2 minutes per
participant.
Total Estimated Annual Burden: 176
hours.
Frequency of Collection: The data
collection described will be performed
once to obtain the target number of valid
test participants.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A).
