exempt manufacturers only from the
duties found in sections 30118 and
30120, respectively, to notify owners,
purchasers, and dealers of a defect or
noncompliance and to remedy the
defect or noncompliance. Therefore, any
decision on this petition only applies to
the subject vehicles that BMW no longer
controlled at the time it determined that
the noncompliance existed. However,
any decision on this petition does not
relieve vehicle distributors and dealers
of the prohibitions on the sale, offer for
sale, or introduction or delivery for
introduction into interstate commerce of
the noncompliant vehicles under their
control after BMW notified them that
the subject noncompliance existed.

National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Request for comment.
AGENCY:
The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) is
engaged in numerous activities to
reduce drug-impaired driving, including
conducting research and developing
tools, resources, and promising
practices to assist States and local
communities. To aid in evaluating
efforts to address drug-impaired driving,
NHTSA has developed the DrugImpaired Driving Criminal Justice
Evaluation Tool. The tool is designed to
assist with identifying program
strengths and opportunities for
improvements. After asking two
organizations to test the model to
explore weaknesses and identify areas
for refinement, NHTSA now wishes to
learn from other practitioners about any
improvements and refinements that
could add value to the tool. This notice
requests comment on the completeness
and usability of the tool.
DATES: Comments are due by April 27,
2020. See the SUPPLEMENTARY

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DrugImpaired Driving Criminal Justice
Evaluation Tool is designed to allow
State, local, territorial, and tribal
governments to assess and strengthen
their drug-impaired driving programs.
The tool consists of questions divided
into ten sections representative of
critical criminal justice and
programmatic elements. The categories
include law enforcement, prosecution,
judiciary, community supervision,
toxicology, treatment, emergency
medical services, data, legislation, and
program and communications. The
Excel file, which can be downloaded
PO 00000
Frm 00120
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
11449
from NHTSA’s website at https://
www.nhtsa.gov/DUIDtool, allows
individual sections to be sent to the
appropriate organizational
representative for completion.
The Drug-Impaired Driving Criminal
Justice Evaluation Tool allows users to
assess their existing programs to reduce
drug-impaired driving through a
systematic review of activities, policies,
and procedures being implemented. The
completed tool is intended purely for
the use of State, local, territorial or tribal
governments for self-assessment and
will not be collected by NHTSA. The
tool can help jurisdictions identify gaps
in their drug-impaired driving
programs, inform strategies to
strengthen the programs, and help track
progress over time against baseline
results. The tool includes links to best
practices and resources for
strengthening drug-impaired driving
programs.
The Drug-Impaired Driving Criminal
Justice Evaluation Tool is designed to be
completed in consultation with
representatives most familiar with the
relevant program areas, either
individually or via group discussion
(e.g., with the State DWI Task Force).
The tool can be completed in its entirety
for a comprehensive program evaluation
of the criminal justice system’s ability to
respond to drug-impaired driving, or
where appropriate to assess one
component of the criminal justice
system.
The evaluation is based on the
Capability Maturity Model, used by
other Federal agencies, to develop and
refine an organization’s software or
program development process. The
model utilizes a five-step hierarchy of
program growth and maturity. The
Capability Maturity Model can serve as
a benchmark and be repeated to show
progress over time. After answering the
questions for each subsection of the
tool, raters note their program strength
level for each component using a
defined 0–5 point scale. Scores are
tabulated on the final ‘‘Scoring’’ sheet to
provide an overall view of program
performance for each component and to
compare against baseline results for
repeat evaluations. Planning sections
are included for each issue area
following ratings to document program
strengths, opportunities, and goals for
improvement.
NHTSA conducted a limited test of
the evaluation tool to obtain feedback
on how to enhance and improve its
value. Since making refinements
recommended during testing, NHTSA is
interested in learning more about
potential end-users’ impressions of the
tool.
