Notice and Request for Comments

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 
Department of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Transportation (DOT) invites public comments 
about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) approval to renew an information collection. Before a Federal 
agency can collect certain information from the public, it must receive 
approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Under 
procedures established by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, before 
seeking OMB approval, Federal agencies must solicit public comment on 
proposed collections of information, including extensions and 
reinstatement of previously approved collections.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 21, 2018.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments [identified by Docket No. DOT-NHTSA-
2018-0075] through one of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: The National Survey of the Use of Booster Seats.
    OMB Control Number: 2127-0644.
    Type of Request: Collection of observed child restraint use data.
    Abstract: The National Survey of the Use of Booster Seats is 
conducted to respond to Section 14(i) of the Transportation Recall 
Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation (TREAD) Act of 2000. The 
Act directs the Department of Transportation to reduce deaths and 
injuries (among children in the 4- to 8-year old age group that are 
caused by failure to use a booster seat) by twenty-five percent. 
Conducting the National Survey of the Use of Booster Seats provides the 
Department with invaluable information on use and non-use of booster 
seats, helping the Department to improve its outreach programs to 
ensure that children are protected to the greatest extent possible when 
they ride in motor vehicles. The OMB approval for this survey is 
scheduled to expire on 5/31/19. NHTSA seeks an extension to this 
approval to obtain this important survey data, save more children, and 
help to comply with the TREAD Act requirement.
    Affected Public: Motorists in passenger vehicles at gas stations, 
fast food restaurants, and other types of sites frequented by children 
during the time in which the survey is conducted.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: Approximately 4,800 adult 
motorists in passenger vehicles at gas stations, fast food restaurants, 
and other types of sites frequented by children during the time in 
which the survey is conducted.
    Frequency: Every other year.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 340 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: $8,276.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is 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. The agency 
will summarize and/or include your comments in the request for OMB's 
clearance of this information collection.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 
chapter 35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1:48.
