    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.
