SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
before an agency submits a proposed collection of information to OMB
for approval, it must first 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 regulation (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;
(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
comments on the following proposed collections of information:
(1) Title: Highway Safety Program Cost Summary.
OMB Control Number: 2127-0003.
Affected Public: 50 States, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S.
Territories, and Tribal Government.
Form Number: HS-217 Highway Safety Program Cost Summary.
Abstract: The Highway Safety Plan identifies State's traffic safety
problems and describes the program and projects to address those
problems. In order to account for funds expended, States are required
to submit a HS-217 Highway Safety Program Cost Summary. The Program
Cost Summary is completed to reflect the state's proposed allocations
of funds (including carry-forward funds) by program area, based on the
projects and activities identified in the Highway Safety Plan.
Estimated Annual Burden: 570.
Number of Respondents: 57.
(2) Title: 23 CFR, part 1345, Occupant Protection Incentive Grant--
Section 405.
OMB Control Number: 2127-0600.
Affected Public: 50 States, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and
U.S. Territories.
Form Number: N/A.
Abstract: An occupant protection incentive grant is available to
states that can demonstrate compliance with at least four of six
criteria. Demonstration of compliance requires submission of copies of
relevant seat belt and child passenger protection statutes, plan and/or
reports on statewide seatbelt enforcement and child seat education
programs and possibly some traffic court records.
Estimated Annual Burden: 780.
Number of Respondents: 56.
Comments are invited on: whether the proposed collections of
information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions
of the Department, including whether the information will have
practical utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimate of the
burden of the proposed information collection; ways to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and
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.
