Notice and request for comments on a request for approval of a new information collection.
Summary
In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), this notice announces that the Information Collection Request (ICR) summarized below will be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. The ICR describes the nature of the information collection titled "Crash Avoidance Warning System Human-Machine Interface Research" and its expected burden. This ICR is to request approval to conduct 6 new voluntary information collections as part of a one-time research study of drivers' interactions with crash avoidance technology with different human-machine interface (HMI) characteristics. This research will inform NHTSA's vehicle safety efforts and decisions regarding rulemaking activities. A Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following information collection was published on November 7, 2024. Two comments were received during the comment period: one in full support of the collection, the other acknowledging the exclusion of motorcycles and requesting future studies include non-4-wheeled vehicles. This notice includes a discussion of the comments and responses. No changes to the study nor burden calculations are necessary as a result of the comments.
