that would allow anyone to identify
respondents.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use of the
Information—The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration’s
(NHTSA) mission is to save lives,
prevent injuries, and reduce healthcare
and other economic costs associated
with motor vehicle crashes. Over thirty
percent of all fatal crashes are estimated
to be speed-related crashes, defined as
racing, exceeding the speed limit, or
driving too fast for conditions. Speedrelated crashes resulted in 11,674 lives
lost in 2008 and an estimated cost of
$40.4 billion in 2000. In order to plan
and evaluate programs intended to
reduce speed-related crashes, NHTSA
periodically conducts telephone surveys
to update its knowledge and
understanding of the public’s attitudes
and behaviors with respect to speeding
issues.
NHTSA has conducted two previous
administrations of the National Survey
of Speeding Attitudes and Behavior—
once in 1997 and again in 2002. In the
2010 survey, NHTSA intends to
examine the extent to which drivers
speed, who the speeders are, when and
why drivers speed, and what
countermeasures are most acceptable
and effective in reducing speeding.
Furthermore, NHTSA plans to assess
whether or not self-reported behaviors,
attitudes, and perceptions regarding
speeding and associated
countermeasure strategies have changed
over time, since the administration of
the 1997 and 2002 national surveys. The
2010 survey will also include new
questions on emerging speed-related
technologies. The findings from this
proposed collection of information will
assist NHTSA in designing, targeting,
and implementing programs intended to
reduce speed on the roadways and to
provide data to States, localities, and
law enforcement agencies that will aid
in their efforts to reduce speed-related
crashes and injuries.
Description of the Likely Respondents
(Including Estimated Number, and
Proposed Frequency of Response to the
Collection of Information)—Under this
proposed effort, the Contractor would
conduct telephone interviews averaging
approximately 20 minutes in length
with 6,000 randomly selected members
of the general driving public, age 16 and
older. The respondent sample would be
selected from all 50 States and the
District of Columbia. Interviews would
be conducted with randomly selected
persons with residential phones or cell
phones. Businesses are ineligible for the
sample and would not be interviewed.
No more than one respondent would be

selected per household. Each member of
the sample would complete one
interview.
Prior to the administration of the
survey, a total of 15 pretest interviews,
averaging 20 minutes in length would
be administered to test the computer
programming of the questionnaire, and
to determine if any final adjustments to
the questionnaire are needed. Following
any revisions carried out as a result of
the pretest, the Contractor would begin
the main survey administration.
Estimate of the Total Annual
Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden
Resulting From the Collection of
Information—NHTSA estimates that
respondents will spend an average of 20
minutes each to complete the survey, for
a total of 2,005 hours for the 15 pretest
respondents and 6,000 survey
respondents. The respondents would
not incur any reporting cost from the
information collection. The respondents
also would not incur any recordkeeping
burden or recordkeeping cost from the
information collection.

Background: The data for the
Transportation of Hazardous Materials;
Highway Routing ICR is collected under
authority of 49 U.S.C. 5112 and 5125.
Specifically, 49 U.S.C. 5112(c) requires
that the Secretary, in coordination with
the States, ‘‘shall update and publish
periodically a list of currently effective
hazardous material highway route
designations.’’
Under 49 CFR 397.73, the FMCSA
Administrator has the authority to
request that each State and Indian tribe,
through its routing agency, provide
information identifying hazardous
materials routing designations within
their jurisdictions. That information is
collected and consolidated by FMCSA
and published annually, in whole or as
updates, in the Federal Register.
Title: Transportation of Hazardous
Materials, Highway Routing.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0014.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently-approved information
collection.
Respondents: The reporting burden is
shared by 50 States, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico, American
Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of
the Northern Mariana Islands and the
U.S. Virgin Islands.
Frequency: Annually.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 15 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 13 hours [51 annual respondents
× 1 response × 15 minutes per response/
60 minutes per response = 12.75 hours,
rounded to 13 hours].
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including:
(1) Whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the performance of
FMCSA’s functions; (2) the accuracy of
the estimated burden; (3) ways for the
FMCSA to enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the collected
information; and (4) ways that the
burden could be minimized without
reducing the quality of the collected
information. The Agency will
summarize or include your comments in
the request for OMB’s clearance of this
information collection.
