a document in the Federal Register
providing a 60-day comment period and
otherwise consult with members of the
public and affected agencies concerning
each proposed collection of information.
OMB has promulgated regulations
describing what must be included in
such a document. Under OMB’s
regulation (at 5 CFR 1320.8(d)), an
agency must ask for public comment on
the following:
(i) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(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:
OMB Control Number: 2127–0597.
Title: State Observational Surveys of
Seat Belt Use.
Type of Review: Reinstatement of an
information collection.
Abstract: The ‘‘Uniform Criteria for
State Observational Surveys of Seat Belt
Use,’’ requires States re-select
observation sites for their annual seat
belt survey. States would use an
updated roadway segment database to
assist with the site selection and then
re-select sites utilizing their currently
approved seat belt survey design.
Section 402 of title 23, United States
Code provides that the Secretary of
Transportation may not approve a State
highway safety program for grant
funding which does not provide
satisfactory assurances that the State
will implement an annual statewide seat
belt use survey in accordance with
criteria established by the Secretary to
ensure that the measurements of seat
belt use are accurate and representative.
The seat belt use survey rates are
verified by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration’s National Center
for Statistics and Analysis. The verified
seat belt use rates also determine
whether a State is eligible for an
occupant protection grant as a high seat
belt use rate State having a seat belt use

rate of at least 90 percent or as a lower
seat belt use rate State having a seat belt
use rate below 90 percent.
Affected Public: State Highway Safety
Offices
Estimated Number of Respondents: 56
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 19,040
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the
Department’s performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c)
ways for the Department to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the
information collection; and (d) ways
that the burden could be minimized
without reducing the quality of the
collected information. The agency will
summarize and/or include your
comments in the request for OMB’s
clearance of this information collection.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended;
