SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
Title: National Automotive Sampling System (NASS).
OMB Number: 2127-0021.
Type of Request: Continuation.
Abstract: The collection of crash data that support the
establishment and enforcement of motor vehicle regulations that reduce
the severity of injury and property damage caused by motor vehicle
crashes is authorized under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle
Safety Act of 1966 (Pub. L. 89-563, Title 1, Sec. 106, 108, and 112).
The National Automotive Sampling System (NASS) Crashworthiness Data
System (CDS) of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
investigates high severity crashes. Once a crash has been selected for
investigation, researchers locate, visit, measure, and photograph the
crash scene; locate, inspect, and photograph vehicles; conduct a
telephone or personal interview with the involved individuals or
surrogate; and obtain and record injury information received from
various medical data sources. NASS CDS data are used to describe and
analyze circumstances, mechanisms, and consequences of high severity
motor vehicle crashes in the United States. The collection of interview
data aids in this effort.
Affected Public: Passenger Motor Vehicle Operators.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 5,605 hours.
Number of Respondents: 9,450.
ADDRESSES: Send comments, within 30 days, to the Office of Information
and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725-17th
Street NW., Washington, DC 20503, Attention NHTSA Desk Officer.
Comments are invited on: Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Department, including whether the information will have practical
utility; the accuracy of the Departments 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 technology. A comment to OMB is most effective if OMB
receives it within 30 days of publication.
Issued in Washington, DC, on August 3, 2012.

Associate Administrator for National Center for Statistics and
Analysis.
