SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Federal
Register notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting public comments on
the following information collection
was published on August 9, 2017 (82 FR
37287–37288).
OMB Control Number: 2127—New.
Title: Compliance-Based Ignition
Interlock Removal.
Form No.: NHTSA 1395.
Type of Review: Regular.
Respondents: NHTSA has identified
31 States that conduct some type of
Compliance Based Removal (CBR) of
Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock
Devices (BAIIDs). The number of
participants will vary for each State. We
estimate an average of three participants
per State. Most participants will be State
officials and these individuals will
provide most of the necessary
information for each State. We
anticipate that in some instances State
officials will refer us to representatives
of interlock providers to obtain data not
available to the State official. The data
to be collected is administrative in
nature. No personally identifiable data
will be collected. We will not be
collecting data that is commonly
considered sensitive or private.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
An estimated sample size of 93
respondents (3 respondents per state for
each of the 31 states identified as having
some form of CBR for BAIIDs).
Estimated Time per Response: The
average amount of time for each
respondent to complete the information
collection is estimated at 20 minutes.
This includes any time needed to
retrieve information.
Total Estimated Annual Burden
Hours: 62 hours.
Frequency of Collection: The
information collection will be
administered a single time.
Abstract: Alcohol impairment is one
of the primary causes of motor vehicle
crashes on the Nation’s highways. In
2016, 28 percent of all motor-vehicle
traffic fatalities involved alcohol
impairment, resulting in the loss of
10,497 lives. A vehicle equipped with a
BAIID requires the driver to provide a
breath sample to start the vehicle. If the
breath sample is above a set limit for
Breath Alcohol Concentration (BrAC),
then the vehicle will not start. BAIIDs
have been shown to reduce drivingunder-the-influence (DUI) recidivism of
DUI offenders who have BAIIDs
installed on their vehicles; however, the
PO 00000

effect tends to dissipate once the
devices are removed. The data generated
by the BAIIDs can be used to identify
offenders unable to comply with
interlock program requirements. It is
believed that these are the offenders
most likely to recidivate. CBR programs
are designed to reduce recidivism by
delaying removal of the BAIID for these
offenders.
The purpose of the study is to provide
critical information needed by NHTSA
to determine the effects of CBR on DUI
recidivism, as well as information on
the types of CBR policies currently in
place. This information will be useful to
States interested in instituting or
changing CBR policies in their own
interlock programs to help reduce
deaths and injuries associated with DUI.
The data collected will be used to assist
NHTSA in its ongoing responsibilities
for: (a) Developing an accurate
understanding of potential traffic safety
interventions on a national scale; (b)
providing information to NHTSA’s
partners involved in improving public
safety; and (c) providing sound
scientific reports on NHTSA’s activities
to other public safety researchers.
The study will be conducted in two
phases. In phase one, information will
be collected on the details of the States’
implementation of CBR and information
on their CBR-related data to identify
States with sufficient data to conduct an
evaluation of the effects of CBR on DUI
recidivism. It will also identify States’
interested in participating in an
evaluation of CBR effectiveness. We
anticipate that information will come
from State officials familiar with their
States’ interlock programs. It may also
be necessary to collect data from
interlock providers in those States. We
estimate that this phase of data
collection will involve contacting and
interviewing an average of three people
per State (93 total). Initial contacts will
be made by telephone and email. Data
will then be collected through semistructured face-to-face and telephone
interviews. The second phase of the
study will be an evaluation of CBR
effectiveness using the States’ existing
data. These evaluations will be
conducted in up to four States,
depending on phase one findings
regarding data availability and interest
in participation.
Comments are Invited on: Whether
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
information collection; ways to enhance

information on respondents, including

Title: National Survey of Drinking,
Drug Use, and Driving Attitudes and
Behaviors.
Type of Request: New information
collection requirement.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval: 3 years from date of approval.
Summary of the Collection of
Information: NHTSA has periodically
conducted a national survey of driver
attitudes and self-reported behavior on
drinking and driving, to understand the
prevalence of drinking and driving
among drivers, the perception of
impaired driving as a traffic safety
problem, and driver awareness and
attitudes towards impaired driving laws.
NHTSA and others have used the data
to track national trends in the drinkingdriving problem and assess the impact
of countermeasures to reduce impaired
driving.
The survey was last administered in
2008, and NHTSA is preparing to
administer an updated version of the
survey, referred to as the National
Survey on Drinking, Drug Use and
Driving (NSDDD). The survey will
continue to address alcohol but will add
items on drugs other than alcohol. The
survey will replace the previously used
telephone interviews with an online and
mailed questionnaire; respondents will
complete either the internet or paper
surveys.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use of the
Information
NHTSA’s mission is to save lives,
prevent injuries and reduce trafficrelated health care and other economic
costs. The agency develops, promotes
and implements educational,
engineering and enforcement programs
with the goal of ending preventable
tragedies and reducing economic costs
associated with vehicle use and
highway travel. Impaired driving is a
PO 00000
Frm 00128
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
long-standing highway safety and public
health problem. Efforts to reduce
impaired driving have resulted in
impressive improvements, but it
remains a significant problem. For
example, data compiled and analyzed
by NHTSA show that in 2016, 10,497
people died in alcohol-impaired-driving
crashes, accounting for 28 percent of all
motor vehicle traffic fatalities in the
United States. An alcohol-impaireddriving crash are those that involve a
driver with a blood alcohol
concentration (BAC) of 0.08 grams per
deciliter (g/dL) or higher. In addition to
concern about alcohol-impaired driving,
there are increasing questions regarding
drug-impaired driving.
The objectives of the project include
the following:
• To survey a nationally
representative sample of driving-age
individuals on their knowledge,
attitudes and beliefs about drinking,
drug use (including over-the-counter,
prescription, and illegal drugs) and
alcohol- and drug-positive/impaired
driving;
• To assess the public’s awareness,
acceptance and opinions of laws on
alcohol-involved and drugged driving;
• To obtain information helpful in the
monitoring of progress in impaired
driving safety programs and revealing
areas that require further attention; and
• To add to the knowledge base
supporting NHTSA’s responsibilities for
providing a sound scientific basis for
the development of countermeasure
programs.
Description of the Likely Respondents
(Including Estimated Number, and
Proposed Frequency of Response to the
Collection of Information): The potential
respondents would be people aged 18
years or older who drive a passenger
vehicle at least periodically. NHTSA
would contact a maximum of 30,000
households via United States mail to
obtain 7,000 completed questionnaires.
The contact would consist of a
screening instrument to determine
survey eligibility. Eligible respondents
would a member of the household who
is at least 18 years of age and has driven
at least once in the previous two weeks.
A respondent would complete a single
survey only; there will be no request for
follow-up information or response.
Privacy Protections. Throughout the
project, the privacy of all households
and participants will be protected.
Access to the online instrument will be
controlled using an alphanumeric PIN,
with access restricted to using
encrypted connection via Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) certificates. Personallyidentifiable information such as the
postal address of sample members will
