behaviors related to alcohol-impaired
driving that will be used to enhance and
refine communication strategy and
tactics (i.e., more effectively target and
message at-risk drivers and motorcycle
riders). The study will survey drivers
and motorcycle riders ages 21- to 54years-old because this age range
represents the greatest number of
alcohol-related driving/riding fatalities
according to NHTSA’s Fatality Analysis
Reporting System (FARS).5
The research study will include two
components, both being one-time
collections. The first component will
involve a series of online webcam
interviews that will collect qualitative
information that will serve as a
cognitive test to improve the
quantitative survey that will be
administered in the second component.
The quantitative survey will be
administered online and by phone (and
potentially supplemented by mail if
needed). After collecting the data,
segmentation analysis will be done to
classify drivers and motorcycle riders
according to segments based on
common demographics, drinking
behaviors, attitudes about drinking and
driving/motorcycle riding, and lifestyle
characteristics. The segmentation
profiles will be used by NHTSA’s Office
of Communications and Consumer
Information (OCCI) to better target and
reach intended audiences with
communications messages and
techniques that are relevant and
meaningful to people within the target
market.
60-Day Notice: A Federal Register
notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting public comments on the
following information collection was
published on June 7, 2023 (FR Doc.
2023–12102). NHTSA received two (2)
comments. NHTSA received comments
from the National Association of Mutual
Insurance Companies (NAMIC) and
Responsibility.org. Both NAMIC and
Responsibility.org supported NHTSA’s
alcohol-segmentation study efforts to
inform communications initiatives to
prevent alcohol-impaired driving and
both requested future consideration to
collaborate on communications efforts.
[insert whether we received comments
and if so, how many.
NHTSA Response: NHTSA
appreciates the support from NAMIC
and Responsibility.org. NHTSA
recognizes the actions that both are
taking to help communicate the dangers
of impaired driving and the efforts that
they are taking to decrease this behavior
on US roadways. NHTSA looks forward

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority: 38 U.S.C. 5902; 38 CFR
14.628.
Title: Requirements for Recognition as
a VA Accredited Organization.
OMB Control Number: 2900–0850.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: In order for an organization
to provide representation to claimants
before VA regarding claims for VA
benefits, the organization must be
recognized by VA for that purpose.
Section 5902(a) of title 38, United States
Code, authorizes VA to recognize
organizations for the limited purpose of
ensuring competent representation of
veterans in claims for benefits
administered by VA. VA implemented
this authority in 38 CFR 14.628. An
organization must apply for VA
recognition, supplying information as
specified in section 14.628 to
demonstrate that it satisfies the legal
requirements for recognition.
(Organizations may provide services to
veterans without VA recognition if the
services do not include the preparation,
presentation, and prosecution of claims
for VA benefits.) The information
submitted by the organizations in
conjunction with a request for
recognition is used by VA in reviewing
accreditation applications to determine
whether organizations meet the
requirements for VA recognition under
section 14.628. VA relies on this
information to ensure that it is granting
recognition only to organizations that
can provide long-term, competent
representation to VA claimants.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on this collection
of information was published at: Vol.
88, No. 155, Monday, August 14, 2023,
