SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Hazard Perception and
Distracted Driving Training Intervention
for Teens
Type of Request: New information
collection requirement.
Abstract: The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
proposes to collect information from
newly-licensed teen drivers for a onetime voluntary study to evaluate Risk
Awareness and Perception Training
(RAPT), a hazard perception and
distracted driving training intervention
to improve novice driver safety. NHTSA
proposes to collect information from a
sample of newly-licensed teen drivers in
two States to determine (1) their
eligibility to participate in a study to
evaluate RAPT hazard perception
training; (2) their hazard perception
performance before and after they
complete RAPT or placebo training, and
again six months after training; and (3)
their driving exposure via driving logs
to account for potential differences
across participants. In addition,
participants will agree to allow
researchers to access their crash and
citation records for six months to
support analyses of the effects of RAPT
training on crash and citation rates.
NHTSA will invite an estimated 20,000
newly licensed drivers ages 16 through
19 in two States to participate, with the
goal of recruiting 10,000 volunteers—
7,500 from a first State and 2,500 from
a second State for validation.
Participation will be voluntary and
solicited through the distribution of
recruiting letters at Department of Motor
Vehicle locations (DMVs) when new
drivers obtain their license. Once
obtaining consent from the teen and
their guardian(s) through an informed
consent agreement, study participants
will be randomly assigned within age
and sex categories to either participation

in the RAPT or the placebo condition.
Participants in the RAPT condition will
complete the training protocol; those in
the placebo condition will view a
vehicle maintenance video. A
subsample of 2,000 participants will
also be asked to complete a week-long
trip log to record driving exposure
during the study period. The 7,500
participants in the first State will be
invited to complete a six-month followup test to see whether they retained the
RAPT training; these participants will
also be asked questions about any
crashes or traffic tickets during their
first six months of driving to capture
any unreported crashes or incidents.
NHTSA will use the information to
produce a technical report that presents
the results of the study. The technical
report will provide aggregate (summary)
statistics and tables as well as the
results of statistical analysis of the
information, but it will not include any
personal information. The technical
report will be shared with State
Highway Safety Offices as well as other
stakeholders interested in improving the
safety of novice teen drivers. The total
estimated burden for recruitment (2,000
hours), the initial training (7,500 hours),
the trip log (1,167 hours) and the followup data collection (1,875 hours) is
12,542 hours.
Comments are invited 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 Department’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
information collection;
(iii) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(iv) 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.
A comment to OMB is most effective
if OMB receives it within 30 days of
publication of this notice.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. Section 3506(c)(2)(A).
