Justification for Non-Substantive Change EO 14168

Non-Substantive Change Request

OMB Control Number: 2127-0644

National Survey of the Use of Booster Seats

Date Submitted: March 14, 2025

Summary of Request

The Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, is requesting a non-substantive change request to revise wording to align with Executive Order (EO) 14168, Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government. The data collection is also transitioning from paper forms to an electronic collection. There is no change to the burden.

Description of Changes Requested

This request updates the use of paper forms to collect data to an electronic device in Supporting Statements: Part A and Supporting Statement: Part B. To comply with the EO, this request also updates the word gender to sex in Supporting Statement: Part B and NHTSA Form 1010.

Request includes revision of an existing question(s)

Description of Changes to Burden

There is no change to the burden.

Other Considerations

Data collectors can select “DK” (don’t know) under sex. This is intended to be used for when the data collector can observe that there is a person in a vehicle, but they cannot see the person well enough to determine sex due potential issues like dark window tinting or sun glare. The final dataset only includes “male” and “female” responses because all DK’s responses are imputed to either male or female. The imputation method is described in the PRA.
