    Abstract: NHTSA develops, promotes and implements effective 
educational, engineering, and enforcement programs toward ending 
preventable tragedies and reducing economic costs associated with 
vehicle use and highway travel. Executive Order 12862 mandates that 
agencies survey their customers to identify the kind and quality of 
services they want and their level of satisfaction with existing 
services. Other requirements include the Governmental Performance and 
Results Act (GPRA) of 1993 which promotes a new focus on results, 
service quality, and customer satisfaction. As NHTSA continuously works 
to ensure that its programs are effective and meet its customer's 
needs, NHTSA seeks to obtain OMB approval of a generic clearance to 
collect qualitative feedback from its customers on NHTSA service 
delivery. Surveys will be undertaken to understand customer needs, 
satisfaction with products and services, perspectives on highway safety 
problems, forecast safety trends and achieve the agency's goals. This 
feedback will provide insight into customer or stakeholder perception, 
provide an early warning of issues with products or services, and focus 
attention on areas of communication in operations that might improve 
the delivery of products or services.
    ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding the burden estimate, including 
suggestions for reducing the burden, to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB), Attention: Desk Officer for Department of Transportation, 
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Office of Information 
and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th 
Street, NW., Docket Library, Room 10102, Washington, DC 20503, or by e-
mail at oira_submission@omb.eop.gov, or fax: 202-395-5806.
    Comments Are Invited On: Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Department of Transportation, including whether the information 
will have practical utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimate 
of the burden of the proposed information collection; ways to enhance 
the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; 
and ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information
