Download as PDF sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES 176 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 1 / Tuesday, January 3, 2017 / Notices collection of information to OMB for approval, it must first publish 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. The 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 for which the agency is seeking approval from OMB: Title: Safety Ratings and Advanced Crash Avoidance Technologies Consumer Research Requested Expiration Date of Approval: Three years from approval date. Abstract: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) was established by the Highway Safety Act of 1970 (23 U.S.C. 101) to carry out a Congressional mandate to reduce the mounting number of deaths, injuries, and economic losses resulting from motor vehicle crashes on the Nation’s highways. In support of this mission, NHTSA previously conducted two comprehensive consumer research studies in 2012 and 2014 to better understand (1) the type of information consumers seek during their vehicle purchase decisions, (2) consumer comprehension of vehicle safety ratings, and (3) consumer knowledge and interest in advanced crash avoidance technologies in order to guide NHTSA communications. Building on that research, NHTSA proposes to conduct a quantitative online survey that draws from findings in the previous qualitative research studies to further explore VerDate Sep<11>2014 22:14 Dec 30, 2016 Jkt 241001 consumer perception, interest and understanding of the 5-star safety ratings (including response to half stars), overall vehicle scores, and advanced crash avoidance technologies information to support the development of consumer communications. Summary of the Collection of Information: In this collection of information, NHTSA is seeking approval to conduct an online survey with 1,500 consumer respondents. The survey will be used to further support findings from previous qualitative research studies and will achieve the following objectives: (1) Confirm qualitative research findings with regard to vehicle purchase decision-making criteria; (2) Identify and evaluate sources of vehicle safety information to help inform the development of a consumer education program; (3) Understand consumer knowledge and interest in communications around safety ratings; (4) Explore consumer knowledge, interest and engagement with advanced crash avoidance technologies; (5) Assess consumer response to overall vehicle score; and, (6) Evaluate consumer perception of the 5-Star safety ratings and its components (including incorporation of 1⁄2 star ratings). Description of the Need for the Information and the Proposed Use of the Information: NHTSA will obtain critical information that will fulfill a congressional mandate to improve highway traffic safety. Specifically, the data from this collection will be used to enhance consumer understanding of NHTSA’s safety ratings and advanced crash avoidance technologies and guide the development of communication materials that will help consumers as they factor this information into their vehicle purchase decisions. In addition, this data will be used to substantiate the effectiveness of communications approaches. Affected Public: For this collection, NHTSA plans to conduct an online survey with 1,500 panel member respondents that will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. In order to identify 1,500 qualified respondents, approximately 20,000 respondents will be needed to complete a 1.5-minute screener. NHTSA plans to administer this study one time, amounting to 963 burden hours. Prior to administering the online survey, NHTSA will administer a cognitive test of the survey instrument. For the cognitive test, a total of eight to 12 potential participants will be recruited via dialed telephone screening PO 00000 Frm 00095 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 calls, which are estimated to take 10 minutes per response. The recruitment calls will utilize the screening section of the survey document to determine qualified respondents. NHTSA anticipates needing 45 minutes to allow respondents to navigate the survey while also discussing their feedback on survey questions. The Agency will conduct interviews with one respondent at a time. Based on experience, it is prudent to recruit up to 12 people in order to help achieve at least eight participants showing up for the cognitive tests. Approximately 600 potential participants will complete a 1.5-minute pre-screen in order to identify a pool of potentially qualified respondents. Among the 12 selected qualified recruits, the total burden per participant is estimated to be 55 minutes (10 minutes for the screening/recruiting telephone call, plus 45 minutes for the interview). Therefore, the total annual estimated burden imposed by this collection of information is approximately 989 hours. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 989 hours. Number of Respondents: 1,512. The results of this research will be used to inform communications for the New Car Assessment Program’s Government 5-Star Safety Ratings program. 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 Department’s 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.
