National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA),

ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
The Department of
Transportation (DOT) invites public
comments about our intention to request
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approval to extend an existing
information collection. Before a Federal
agency can collect certain information
from the public, it must receive
approval from the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB). Under procedures
established by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, before seeking OMB
approval, Federal agencies must solicit
public comment on proposed
collections of information, including
extensions and reinstatement of
previously approved collections.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before September 10, 2019.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
[identified by Docket No. DOT–
NHTSA–2019–0066] through one of the
following methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal: https://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Crash Report Sampling System
(CRSS) Information Collection.
OMB Control Number: 2127–0714.
Type of Request: Modification of a
currently approved collection of
information.
SUMMARY:
PO 00000

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Type of Review: Regular.
Abstract: Under both the Highway
Safety Act of 1966 and the National
Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of
1966 (Pub. L. 89–563, Title 1, Sec. 106,
108, and 112) the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
has the responsibility to collect crash
data that support the establishment and
enforcement of motor vehicle
regulations and highway safety
programs. These regulations and
programs are developed to reduce
fatalities and the property damage
associated with motor vehicle crashes.
NHTSA’s National Center for Statistics
and Analysis (NCSA) maintains a
multidisciplinary approach to meet our
users’ data needs utilizing an efficient
combination of census, sample-based,
investigation, and existing State files to
provide timely information on traffic
crashes. The Crash Report Sampling
System (CRSS) provides sample-based
data on fatal, serious injury, and
property-damage-only (PDO) crashes
that helps users understand highway
safety problem areas, develop
countermeasures, and identify general
data trends.
CRSS obtains data from a nationally
representative probability sample
selected from police-reported motor
vehicle traffic crashes. Specifically, the
CRSS data set includes crashes
involving at least one motor vehicle in
transport on a trafficway that result in
property damage, injury, or a fatality.
The crash reports sampled are chosen
from selected areas that reflect the
geography, population, miles driven,
and the number of crashes in the United
States. No additional data beyond the
selected crash reports is collected.
Additionally, the CRSS program neither
collects nor publishes any personally
identifiable information. Once the crash
reports are received they are coded and
the data is entered into the CRSS
database.
CRSS acquires national information
on fatalities, injuries, and property
damage directly from existing State
police crash reports. The user
population includes Federal and State
agencies, automobile manufacturers,
insurance companies, and the private
sector.
Affected Public: Local Police
Jurisdictions and State Crash Database
Owners.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
320 Respondents.
Respondents include a combination of
State agencies that maintain crash data
report databases and local police
jurisdictions that investigate crashes
and complete the crash reports.
Frequency: Ongoing.

The data is collected on an ongoing
basis. For some respondents, the data is
automatically transferred to NHTSA
through the new electronic data transfer
(EDT) program and transfers are as
frequent as daily. Other respondents
send the data to NHTSA monthly.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 35,680 hours.
Per the below table, burden hours are
calculated differently based on the data
collection method. The revised burden
estimates in the below table describe the
burden for each data collection

The total burden hour estimate of
35,680 hours represents an increase of
28,400 hours over the previously
estimated burden of 7,280 hours. The
change in burden hours represents a
recalculation designed to more
accurately estimate the time required to
comply with the collection. The
previous calculation didn’t account for
the variety of collection methods and
the need maintaining cooperation with
police jurisdictions and State agencies
to access crash report data.
Additionally, while establishing CRSS,
respondents also realized the need for
additional administrative processes and
formalized arrangements to protect
personal identifiable information. The
prior estimate of the burden associated
with this collection was estimated prior
to CRSS’s implementation and some of
the factors affecting the burden were
unknown at the time of the prior
submission.
Estimated Total Annual Costs:
$1,129,867.
NHTSA estimated the total annual
cost using the Bureau of Labor Statistics’
mean wage estimate for Court,
jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with NOTICES
methods. These estimates are based
upon observation and review of the
individual Primary Sampling Units
(PSU’s) area documentation, which
describes the data collection protocols
in detail.

Municipal, and License Clerks
(Standard Occupational Classification
#43–4031 from May 2018) of $19.76.1
Therefore, NHTSA estimates the hourly
wage associated with the estimated
35,680 burden hours to be $705,036.80
(35,680 hours × $19.76 per hour =
$705,036.80). The Bureau of Labor
Statistics estimates that for State and
local government workers, wages
represent 62.4% of total compensation.2
Therefore, the total cost associated with
this collection is estimated to be
$1,129,867. This is an increase of
$1,129,867 over the last estimate of the
cost of this information collection
because the previous estimate did not
include the costs associated with the
burden hours.
