Abstract:
This information collection request (ICR) seeks approval to conduct a survey and structured interviews that will inform the development of the 12th edition of Countermeasures That Work and the 2nd edition of Countermeasures At Work. The Countermeasures That Work guide was developed for State Highway Safety Offices (SHSOs) to assist them in developing programs for implementing safety countermeasures in ten program areas including (1) alcohol- and drug-impaired driving, (2) seat belts and child restraints, (3) speeding and speed management, (4) distracted driving, (5) drowsy driving, (6) motorcycle safety, (7) young drivers, (8) older drivers, (9) pedestrian safety, and (10) bicycle safety. The Countermeasures That Work guide covers each of these program areas in separate chapters that include a short background section relaying current data trends, which is followed by a description of applicable countermeasures, and an explanation of their effectiveness, use, costs, and time to implement. The Countermeasures At Work companion guide expands on the most effective countermeasures contained in the Countermeasures That Work guide by providing real world examples. NHTSA proposes to conduct an end user feedback survey of up to 120 representatives from SHSOs and/or local jurisdictions, in addition to representatives from the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), State Coordinators from across the United States, and other important stakeholders. While previous feedback surveys (with the most recent in 2018) were conducted via phone, the proposed feedback survey will be administered using an online platform. Participation by respondents would be voluntary. This collection only asks respondents to report their answers; there are no record-keeping costs to the respondents. Responses will not be publicly reported, but NHTSA will use the aggregated information to revise and improve the Countermeasures That Work and Countermeasures At Work guides. NHTSA also proposes to conduct up to 60 structured in-person or phone interviews with representatives from jurisdictions that currently administer effective countermeasures. The findings of interviews conducted for Countermeasures At Work will be reported separately for each individual locality so that the reader can get an idea about the size and type of the featured locality and issues specific to that locality. The Countermeasures At Work guide will include general contact information for the locality (i.e., State DOT or SHSO office) or the contact information of key individuals (only if permission is granted by the interview participant), so that readers of the document can follow-up, if desired, with the locality to obtain more information about the countermeasure. Respondents for the feedback survey and structured interviews will be contacted once over the course of the project. The survey and interviews were determined to be exempt from IRB review. The project reports will be shared with SHSOs, local governments, and those who develop traffic safety programs that aim to change problematic behaviors with the goal of reducing crashes and the resulting injuries and fatalities. The total estimated burden for contacting 120 traffic safety representatives for the feedback survey (50 hours) and 60 traffic safety representatives for the program case study interviews (79 hours) is 129 hours. When NHTSA last received approval of this collection, the estimated total burden was 375 hours. The decrease in total burden of 246 hours for the proposed collection is a result of significantly reducing the number of structured interviews because NHTSA is only collecting responses for one planned edition of Countermeasures At Work instead of the two editions that were included in the last ICR. Additional reduction is a result of reducing the collection time required to complete the feedback survey as the current survey will use a computerized survey delivery system instead of a phone survey.

Short Statement:
This is a reinstatement of an information collection supporting NHTSA's behavioral traffic safety research program and the agency's efforts to improve motorcyclist safety. It requires a program change to add 43 annual hours to existing burden, which is 332 hours less than the previously approved collection due to fewer structured interviews, electronic collection for the survey, and spreading the collection over three years.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$155,729
