abstracted below will be submitted to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review. A Federal Register Notice with a 60-day

No. 109/pp. 34152-34154).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: State of the Practice of Ignition Interlock Programs.
    Form No.: NHTSA Form 1450 (questionnaire) and 1451 (discussion 
guide).
    Type of Review: Regular.
    Abstract: Alcohol impairment is one of the primary causes of motor 
vehicle crashes on the Nation's highways. For example, 28 percent of 
all motor vehicle traffic fatalities in 2016 involved alcohol-
impairment. One countermeasure to alcohol-impaired driving is the 
ignition interlock, and nearly every State, the District of Columbia 
and Puerto Rico deliver interlock services for Driving While Impaired 
(DWI) offenders. Highway safety officials and traffic safety advocates 
identified a need for an

inventory of interlock programs to support program management by 
documenting lessons learned and identifying solutions to common 
problems. The collected information would be from publicly available 
sources such as program websites, and from program administrators and 
staff. Administrators would be invited to take a 15-minute online self-
administered questionnaire, and administrators and staff would be 
invited to participate in a semi-structured interview over the 
telephone, up to one hour (with one interview per program).
    Respondents: Respondents will be administrators and staff of 
alcohol ignition interlock programs. There are up to 52 interlock 
programs; with nearly one in each state, the District of Columbia, and 
Puerto Rico.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 260 (If 52 administrators and four 
staff per program were to respond).
    Estimated Time per Response: The expected average completion time 
for the questionnaire is 15 minutes, and for the group phone interview 
it is 60 minutes.
    Estimate of the Total Annual Reporting and Record Keeping Burden 
Resulting from the Collection of Information: Participants will incur 
no burden related to annual reporting or record keeping due to the 
collection of information.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours: A total of 273 hours: The 
estimated burden hours for the questionnaire is 13 hours (52 
administrators x .25 hours to take the questionnaire), and the 
estimated burden hours for the group interviews is 260 hours (260 
people x 1 hour).
    Frequency of Collection: The information collection will be 
administered a single time.
    Previous Notice: A 60-day notice in the Federal Register on August 
24, 2017 received three comments. The first comment recommended that 
the questionnaire and the topics of the group interview be provided 
ahead of time with the managers of each program's transportation 
department, to allow managers the opportunity to provide guidance to 
the staff. NHTSA concurs with this request. The second request was that 
the information collection should ``not ask for judgments'' about a 
department. NHTSA concurs with this request, as the collected 
information is on features and facts of the programs. The third comment 
was that ``other approaches to combatting impaired driving'' warrant 
support. NHTSA concurs with this comment.
    Comments are Invited: Comments are invited on whether the proposed 
collection of information is (a) necessary for the Department's 
performance; (b) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for the 
Department to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the 
information collection; and (d) ways that the burden could be minimized 
without reducing the quality of the collected information.
    A comment to OMB is most effective if OMB receives it within 30 
days of publication of this notice.

    Authority:  The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 
Section 3506(c)(2)(A).

    Issued in Washington, DC, on July 12, 2018.
