CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request: All-Terrain Vehicle
Exposure Survey
AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.
[[Page 35789]]
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In the April 15, 1997, Federal Register (62 FR 18333), the
Consumer Product Safety Commission published a notice in accordance
with provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35) to announce the agency's intention to seek approval of a
collection of information to determine consumer exposure to the hazards
associated with the use of All-Terrain Vehicles (``ATVs''). The
Commission now announces that it has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget a request for approval of that collection of
information.
The collection of information consists of a national telephone
survey of households. Information obtained from ATV-owning households
will have two primary uses. First, the results of the survey will be
compared to those of earlier ATV exposure surveys (conducted in 1986
and 1989) to evaluate changes in the characteristics and use patterns
of non-occupational ATV drivers over time. Second, data from the survey
will be analyzed with data obtained from in-depth investigations of
persons who were injured using ATVs for non-occupational purposes to
determine and quantify ATV risk factors. This risk analysis will reveal
current risk patterns and how they have changed since the late 1980s.
Results of the collection of information will assist the Commission
in determining what, if any, action it should take with regard to ATVs
after April 28, 1998, when Final Consent Decrees signed by five major
distributors of ATVs will expire.
