    Title: Pediatric Shoulder Response in Frontal Loading.
    OMB Control Number: New Collection.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Type of Request: New Information Collection.
    Type of Review: Regular.
    Abstract: NHTSA proposes to collect information from the public to 
support the development of design criteria for the mobility of the 
shoulder of a new child-size crash test dummy. Minors age 6-14 will 
participate after informed consent of the parent/guardian is received. 
After researchers measure the participant's anthropometry (height, 
weight, shoulder landmarks, etc.), the participant will undergo a fun, 
low-intensity exercise activity under the direction of the researchers 
while the parent/guardian observes. The activity will involve motion of 
the participant's shoulder while resisting forces are collected. The 
data from all participants will then be compiled to develop design 
criteria for the crash test dummy shoulder.
    Respondents: Web-based and print newspaper advertisements will be 
used to obtain respondents who are parent/guardian of minors aged 6-14 
years.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: It is estimated that a total of 24 
individuals will complete the research activity.
    Estimated Time per Response: Completion of the screening questions 
is estimated to take approximately 5 minutes for the first set and 10 
minutes for the second set. The simulator discomfort questionnaire is 
estimated to take 2 minutes per participant.
    Total Estimated Burden: 24 total hours, 1 hour per participant.
    Frequency of Collection: The data collections described will be 
performed once to obtain the target number of valid test participants.
    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.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1.95.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on April 23, 2019.
