Title: National Survey of Drinking and Driving Attitudes and
Behaviors: 1997.
OMB No.: 2127-0580.
Type of Request: Revision of a Currently Approved Collection.
Affected Public: Non-institutionalized population of the U.S.--Ages
16 and older living in telephone households.
Abstract: In 1991, NHTSA conducted the first in a series of
biennial surveys of the driving-age public (16 or older) to identify
patterns and trends in public attitudes and behaviors towards drinking
and driving. The proposed study will collect data on topics included in
the first three studies (and several additional topics), including:
frequency of drinking and driving and of riding with an impaired
driver, ways to prevent drinking and driving, enforcement of drinking
driving including the use of sobriety checkpoints, understanding of BAC
levels and legal limits, and crash and injury experience.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 1,333 hours.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 4,000.
Need: The findings will assist NHTSA in addressing the problem of
alcohol-impaired driving and in formulating programs and
recommendations to Congress. NHTSA will use the findings to identify
areas to target current programs and activities to achieve the greatest
benefit, to develop new programs to decrease the likelihood of drinking
and driving behaviors, and to provide informational support to states,
localities, and law enforcement agencies that will aid them in their
efforts to reduce drinking and driving crashes and fatalities.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725-17th Street, NW.,

technology.
