Abstract: The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA),
enacted in December 2007, included a requirement that the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) develop a consumer
information and education campaign to improve consumer understanding of
automobile performance with regard to fuel economy, Greenhouse Gases
(GHG) emissions and other pollutant emissions; of automobile use of
alternative fuels; and of thermal management technologies used on
automobiles to save fuel. A critical step in developing the consumer
information program is to conduct proper market research to understand
consumers' knowledge surrounding these issues, evaluate potential
consumer-facing messages in terms of clarity and understand the
communications channels in which these messages should be present. The
research will allow NHTSA to refine messaging to enhance comprehension
and usefulness and will guide the development of an effective
communications plan. NHTSA proposes a multi-phased research project to
gather the data and apply analyses and results from the project to
develop the consumer information program and education campaign.
Affected Public: Passenger vehicle consumers.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 128.
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.
