SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: National Emergency Medical
Services Information System
(NEMSIS)—State Submission to

Type of Request: Collection of
Emergency Medical Services Data.
Type of Review Requested: Regular.
Abstract: The U.S. Department of
Transportation, National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
was established by Congress to save
lives, prevent injuries, and reduce
economic costs due to motor vehicle
crashes through education, research,
safety standards, and enforcement
activity. Within NHTSA, the Office of
Emergency Medical Services is
responsible for advancing a national
vision for emergency medical services
(EMS) through the development and
implementation of targeted projects to
benefit patient care, EMS practitioner
safety and support of EMS research. The
NHTSA Office of EMS also coordinates
with the Federal and state highway
safety community to ensure that EMS is
equipped and prepared to carry out its

CFR section/subject
mission of preventing death and
reducing serious injuries after traffic
crashes. NHTSA is proposing to
continue voluntary collection of limited
EMS information from U.S. States and
Territories. There are no Federal
mandates or requirements for
submission of EMS information from
U.S. States and Territories. The
information is transmitted from local
EMS agencies to State EMS data
systems, and then onto NHTSA’s
National EMS Database via an
automated ‘‘machine-to-machine’’
process that uses Web Services. The
information is transmitted from the
point-of-care to states and NHTSA’s
National EMS Database in near realtime. The information collected by the
National EMS Database is a deidentified subset of the data already
being collected for use by state and
territorial EMS Offices. The National
EMS Database collects information that
describes EMS agencies, the activation
and response of individual EMS units to
an emergency, emergency care provided
on scene and during transport to a
health facility, transport decision,
disposition of the patient and incident,
and EMS system times such as response
time. Personal identifiable information
(PII) such as the patient’s name,
patient’s home address, patient’s date of
birth, patient’s social security number,
and patient’s medical record number are
not collected by the National EMS
Database. The information collected by
the National EMS Database is available
to the public. The National EMS
Database provides NHTSA’s Office of
EMS with information necessary to
inform national EMS and first responder
programs, projects, and initiatives; and
determine the impact EMS has on
highway safety and post-crash care. The
information is also used by EMS and
public health researchers to develop
evidence for best practices in EMS
operations and prehospital clinical care,
and by local EMS agencies and state
offices of EMS for performance
improvement and benchmarking.
Affected Public: State Governments.

Estimated Number of Respondents:
56.
Respondents include one
representative from each State,
populated Territory and the District of
Columbia.
Frequency: Annually.
Number of Responses: N/A.
Estimated Individual Burden: 18
hours.
The Individual Burden for each of the
56 respondents is 18 hours per year. It
is estimated that each respondent will
spend an additional 1.5 hours per
month ensuring a subset of data from
the existing State Dataset is transmitted
to the National Dataset.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 1,008.
Total burden hours are estimated
based upon ongoing electronic
submissions from each respondent, with
machine to machine transmittal.
NHTSA estimates that this information
collection will involve 56 respondents
spending approximately 18 hours
providing information for NEMSIS.
Therefore, the total annual burden
estimate is 1,008 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost:
$50,954.
NHTSA estimated the total annual
burden cost using the total average
compensation costs for State, Territorial
and local government workers of $50.55
per hour as reported by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics in December 2018.
Therefore, the total cost associated with
the 1,008 burden hours is $50,954.
There are no additional anticipated
costs to respondents or record keepers,
beyond what they have already set up
to meet their own State needs for this
information.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspects of this
information collection, including (a)
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;
(b) the accuracy of the Department’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
information collection; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
(d) 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.

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 regulations (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; and
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
comment on the following proposed
collection of information:

Respondents include one representative from each State, populated

The Individual Burden for each of the 56 respondents is 18 hours
per year. It is estimated that each respondent will spend an additional

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,008.

NHTSA estimates that this information collection will involve 56
respondents spending approximately 18 hours providing information for
NEMSIS. Therefore, the total annual burden estimate is 1,008 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: $50,954.
NHTSA estimated the total annual burden cost using the total
average compensation costs for State, Territorial and local government
workers of $50.55 per hour as reported by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics in December 2018. Therefore, the total cost associated with
the 1,008 burden hours is $50,954. There are no additional anticipated
