The ICR describes the nature of the information collection and its expected burden. This document describes a collection of information for which NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval to conduct research on safety-related aspects of voice command interfaces (VCIs), specifically how VCIs affect distracted driving behavior and cognitive workload.

Study improvements resulting from comments received do not affect the burden calculation.
