SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 2127—New.
Title: Effectiveness of State Law
Enforcement Liaison Programs.
Form No.: NHTSA Form 1408 and
NHTSA Form 1409.
Type of Review: Regular.
Respondents: NHTSA proposes to
conduct two one-time surveys. The first
survey will include all the State Law
Enforcement Liaisons (LELs) across the
country. The second survey will include
the LELs’ supervisors from their
sponsoring agencies in the 49 States that
use LELs, either State Highway Safety
Office (SHSO) or other sponsoring
agency personnel.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
There are approximately 240 State LELs
and 49 staff from the sponsoring
agencies that supervise the LELs—a
total of 289 respondents.
Estimated Time per Response: There
are two survey questionnaires of equal
length, one for LELs and one for their
supervisors. The average amount of time
for each respondent to complete the online information collection is estimated

at 45 minutes. This includes any time
needed to retrieve information.
Total Estimated Annual Burden
Hours: 217 hours.
Frequency of Collection: The
information collection will be
administered a single time.
Abstract: State Law Enforcement
Liaisons (LELs) promote NHTSA’s
traffic safety programs and initiatives.
The way LELs are organized and carry
out their mission varies widely across
States. NHTSA proposes to collect
information from LELs and their State
and/or sponsoring agencies to improve
NHTSA’s understanding of LEL
programs in the United States and to
evaluate the programmatic and cost
effectiveness of existing LEL
approaches. The study will use online
website-based surveys designed to
identify their program characteristics,
costs, and State-recommended program
practices. The following data will be
collected: Number of LELs, program
structure and organization, job
description, program objectives,
reporting requirements, performance
monitoring practices, program costs,
communication networks, reported
usefulness of specific program practices,
site and conference attendance
practices, and public outreach activities.
Study outcomes will be used to inform
funding agencies and LEL programs
about LEL best practices and what is
required to maintain maximum LEL
program effectiveness. The information
will support States and other agencies
and organizations in their efforts to
reduce and prevent injuries among the
motoring public using traffic safety
programs promoted by the LELs.
Send comments regarding
the burden estimate, including
suggestions for reducing the burden, to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget, 725 17th Street NW,

the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the Department of
Transportation, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
the accuracy of the Department’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Medical Directors Workforce
Assessment.
amozie on DSK30RV082PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:47 Mar 08, 2018
Jkt 244001
OMB Control Number: U.S. DOT
Docket No. NHTSA–2017–0087.
Type of Request: New information
collection.
Abstract: With over 50,000 separate
Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
agencies and fire departments providing
care to millions of patients each year, a
clear description of the training and
backgrounds of those who provide
medical direction of EMS services in the
U.S. is surprisingly not available. An
estimated 8,500 medical directors serve
20,000 EMS agencies and 30,000 fire
departments across the country.
Public Safety Answering Points that
answer 911 calls and provide emergency
medical dispatch, aeromedical services,
mass gathering events such as
marathons and concerts, and police
departments and their special
operations teams also require medical
directors if their personnel provide
emergency care or instruction. Despite a
growing number of trained and now
boarded certified EMS physicians,
prehospital medical direction faces
several obstacles and unknowns.
Currently data is difficult to identify,
but many medical directors are thought
to be from several specialties such as
family practice, internal medicine, and
surgery and have little or no EMS
experience. In addition, individuals
serving as EMS directors have varying
degrees of involvement with their
services. Medical directors’
compensation, legal protections,
involvement in research, and education
are also largely unknown.
Knowing more about the population
of EMS medical directors in the United
States would create several benefits.
Defining this groups’ demographics,
qualifications, number, types and sizes
of agencies served, and their financial
compensation and legal protections is
critical to determining trends of
employment, identifying professional
and training needs, recognizing barriers
for medical directors, and directing
policy and advocacy efforts. Collecting
this data is essential for improving EMS
medical direction across the nation and
the National Highway Safety
Administration (NHTSA) and other
federal departments would benefit from
understanding its prehospital medical
leadership from a national preparedness
perspective.
The goal of the Medical Directors
Workforce Assessment is to investigate
and define key attributes of EMS and
911 medical directors across the United
States in order to create a national
picture of prehospital medical direction.
The data will be used to establish an
Emergency Medical Services Medical
Director Workforce Assessment
PO 00000
Frm 00126
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
(EMSMDWA), which can guide future
policy and investment in activities to
support the improvement of prehospital
medical direction.
Affected Public: Under this proposed
effort, the respondents would
voluntarily submit data described above
utilizing a web-based data collection
tool. Reporting entities are EMS and 911
Medical Directors of state and local EMS
and 911 systems. The total maximum
number of respondents is estimated 350.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
Under this proposed effort, several
forums and organizations known for
medical director involvement will be
targeted by the Office of EMS, to
respond to an online survey being
developed by the National Association
of EMS Physicians, under the terms of
a cooperative agreement (DTNH22–16–
H–00007). The total number of
respondents is estimated at 350. This is
a one-time survey and no annual or
second survey is planned at this time.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: NHTSA estimates that the time
required to submit the data described
utilizing the web-based tool will be one
hour (no advance preparation, one hour
of entry to website) per reporting entity,
for a total of 350 hours for all entities.
The respondents would not incur any
reporting costs from the information
collection beyond the time it takes to
populate the web-based data collection
tool. The respondents also would not
incur any recordkeeping burden or
recordkeeping costs from the
information collection.
The total estimated costs to
respondents or record-keepers are based
on the following: The total hour burden
of the collection of information equaling
350 hours.
Respondents will be EMS and 911
Medical Directors at of State, local,
territorial, and tribal EMS and 911
systems. To estimate reasonable staff
expenses to respond to this information
collection, the Agencies reviewed the
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
Occupational Outlook Handbook and
determined that the Physicians and
Surgeons description closely aligns with
the positions of personnel responsible
for completing this request. BLS lists a
median salary of $208,000 per year
amounting to $100.00 per hour. There
are no capital, start-up, or annual
operation and maintenance costs
involved in the collection of
information.
Total cost based on hour’s burden
equals $35,000.00.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspects of this
information collection, including (a)
