Abstract:
he information collected serves to identify and develop safety countermeasures that will reduce the severity of injury and property damage caused by motor vehicle crashes. These Investigation-Based Crash Data Studies -- Crash Investigation Sampling System (CISS), Special Crash Investigations (SCI), and Special Studies -- involve voluntary information collections through which NHTSA collects detailed data on real world motor vehicle crashes. Specifically, these systems collect data, on vehicle safety system performance, occupant injury information including their kinematic interaction with interior components and scene geometry, marking and traffic controls. Respondents are police agencies that collection information on police-reported motor vehicle crashes, employees of tow yards where crashed vehicles are stored, people involved in these crashes, and hospitals with medical records for the people injured in the crash. For the standard investigation-based crash data studies acquisition process, once a crash has been selected for investigation, crash technicians or investigators locate, visit, measure, and photograph the crash scene; locate, inspect, and photograph vehicles; conduct a telephone or personal interview with the involved individuals or surrogate (another person who can provide occupant or crash information, such as parents for minor, or a parent or spouse for decreased individual); and obtain and record crash injury information received from various medical data sources. These information collections support NHTSA’s mission to save lives and prevent injuries due to traffic crashes. The data collected from these systems are used to describe and analyze circumstances, mechanisms, and consequences of serious motor vehicle crashes in the United States. Additionally, these data are used by NHTSA to identify the primary factors related to the source of crashes and their injury outcomes, develop and evaluate effective safety countermeasures, the establishment and enforcement of motor vehicle regulations, that reduce the severity of injury and property damage caused by motor vehicle crashes. On November 15, 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117-58), also referred to as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), was signed into law. The Crash Data section (section 24108) of the BIL authorizes the Secretary of Transportation (NHTSA by delegation) to use funds to enhance the collection of data under CISS by, among other things, including additional data collection sites. In the 60-day notice NHTSA published on January 26, 2022 (87 FR 4099), NHTSA estimated that there would be 32 data collection sites in each of the next three years. As a result of the additional funding provided by the BIL, NHTSA now plans to phase in 24 additional data collection sites in CISS over the next 3 years. NHTSA is now accounting for the increases in burden hours for interviewees, Police, Tow Yards and Medical Facilities for an additional 24 data collection sites. The total data collection sites will incrementally increase from 32 to 56 over the next three years. The increase in burden hours and cost for these additional data collection sites are reflected in the Burden to Respondent section of this document. The previous request for CISS (2017) indicated 5,605 burden hours, this request increases the burden to 12,063. The request for the collection of information is revised due to a) Increasing the number of crashes investigated by Crash Technicians for 2021 and future years, b) adding Special Study crashes into this package, and c) adding Special Crash Investigation (SCI) crashes into this package. The combined impact is an increase of 6,458 burden hours to NHTSA’s overall total.
