1. This ICR
revises information that has been collected in 2127-0627 (on
alcohol-impaired driving) and in 2127-0615 (on seat belt use). It
also adds other collections. 2. Because of the clearance conditions
below, approval is for two years. 3. Since households with only a
cell phone cannot be sampled with the current design, DOT shall
continue to assess potential solutions to this problem. The next
extension or revision of this collection shall report on progress.
4. DOT has agreed to continue to examine potential non-response
bias and to report its findings to OMB. They have also agreed th at
reports of survey results shall note both sampling and non-
sampling error. 5. Because of the sensitive nature of asking survey
respondents about driving after having too much to drink, DOT is
strongly en- couraged to explore the use of innovative techniques
to ask such sensitive questions, such as Telephone
Computer-Assisted Self Interviews (T-CASI) and Interactive Voice
Response (IVR). OMB will provide expedited review for tests of such
innovative tech- niques. 6. The National Surveys are approved as
specified. 7. The State Surveys are given GENERIC CLEARANCE, which
requires approval of specific instances of these types of surveys.
Each survey instance shall, for approval, be specified to include:
(1) the exact questionnaire to be used; (2) designated survey
popula- tion and sampling design; (3) whether or not the sample
will be s tratified and, if so, how; (4) specific sample sizes; (5)
the scheduling of each survey instance; (6)the goals of each survey
instance; and (7) how the data will be analyzed. OMB will re- view
the complete specification of each survey instance within 15
business days. 8. The Regional Demonstrations (also referred to as
Demonstratio n Surveys) are also given GENERIC CLEARANCE, under the
same de- tailed terms of item 7 above.
