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.

Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
before an agency submits a proposed
collection of information to OMB for
approval, it must publish a document in
the Federal Register providing a 60-day
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:

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 169 / Friday, August 30, 2019 / Notices
Transportation is seeking approval to
collect information from licensed
drivers who have at least one speeding
citation or conviction in the previous
three years for a one-time voluntary
study of the effects of an education
course being developed that covers
vehicle speeds, laws, and the risks of
speeding on speeding behavior. NHTSA
proposes to approach up to 250 drivers
appearing at the Wake County, NC
district court because of speeding
infractions to ascertain their interest in
participating in the study after their case
has been adjudicated. Of those 250, we
expect to collect information from 150
potential participants determine their
eligibility for the study with the goal of
recruiting 100 voluntary participants.
The 100 participants will complete an
informed consent form, three driver
speeding questionnaires (before the
course, right after the course, and one
month after the course) to explore the
effects of the course on their attitudes
and beliefs regarding speeding as well
as their tendency to speed, a course
evaluation, and sensation-seeking
questionnaire to measure psychological
factors related to risky behaviors. In
addition, NHTSA will collect
naturalistic driving data, which involves
unobtrusive observation of driving in a
natural, on-road setting using a vehicle
instrumented with position, speed, and
other sensors. This collection is solely
reporting, and there are no recordkeeping costs to the respondents.
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 offices, local governments, and
those who develop driver education and
traffic safety communications that aim
to reduce speed-related crashes. The
total estimated burden for recruiting 250
participants (42 hours), for screening
150 participants (23 hours) and for 100
participants to complete the study (600
hours) is 665 total hours.
Respondents: Participation in this
study will be voluntary, and 100
participants will be recruited from
drivers that attend the Wake County, NC
district court because of speeding
infractions after their case has been
adjudicated. An estimated 250 people
will be approached and have the study
described to them, and 150 people will
be screened to recruit the 100 who will
complete the study. Participants will be
licensed drivers over 18 years old who
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
have had a speeding citation in the past
3 years.
Estimated Time per Participant: The
estimated time for recruiting 250
possible participants is 10 minutes per
person. The estimated time for
screening the 150 possible participants
is nine minutes per person to complete
the screener questionnaire and provide
contact information. The estimated time
for the 100 study participants is six
hours per person to complete the
informed consent, take the three-hour
and 30-minute course, complete all
questionnaires, and wait for equipment
to be installed and uninstalled from
their vehicles.
Total Estimated Burden Hours: The
total estimated annual burden is 665
hours for the project activities.
Participation in this study is voluntary,
and there are no costs to respondents
beyond the time spent completing the
questionnaires and visits to the study
facility.
Frequency of Collection: This study is
one-time data collection, and there will
be no recurrence.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use of the
Information: NHTSA was established to
reduce deaths, injuries, and economic
losses resulting from motor vehicle
crashes on the Nation’s highways. As
part of this statutory mandate, NHTSA
is authorized to conduct research for the
development of traffic safety programs.
In 2017, there were 9,717 fatalities in
speeding-related crashes—26% of all
fatal crashes. Public information and
education are important elements of any
effective speed management program.
Recent NHTSA research has indicated
that many drivers feel they lack
sufficient knowledge about speeding
and would like more information on
stopping distances, laws, and risks
involved. This project is designed to
examine the effectiveness of basic driver
education covering speed, laws, and
risks of speeding in changing driver
attitudes and behaviors regarding
speeding. This information will be
useful to State highway offices, local
governments, and those who develop
driver education and traffic safety
communications that aim to reduce
speed-related crashes.
