Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 43 / Monday, March 8, 2021 / Notices participants by the States 6,676 hours, for reading of the invitation by potential participants 1,400 hours, for pilot testing of all surveys 36 hours and for 4,500 participants to complete the survey 3,542 hours is 11,654 total hours.
Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use of the Information: NHTSA was established to reduce deaths, injuries, and economic losses resulting from motor vehicle crashes on the Nations highways. As part of this statutory mandate, NHTSA
is authorized to conduct research for the development of traffic safety programs.
While motorcycles account for less than one percent of vehicle miles traveled, in 2017 they accounted for 14 percent of all traffic fatalities.2 Data about motorcyclists may suggest that they are a disproportionally risk-taking population. Twenty-nine percent of motorcyclists killed in collisions were operating without a valid drivers license, which is higher than the 13
percent for passenger car drivers.
Thirty-two percent of all motorcyclist fatalities involved speeding, compared to 18 percent for passenger car drivers.
Twenty-eight percent of motorcyclist fatalities had a blood alcohol concentration BAC at or above 0.08 g/
dL; this number increased to 42 percent at night.
However, motorcyclists are not a homogeneous group, varying in their reasons for riding, the type of
motorcycle they own or ride, the places and times they ride, the personal protective equipment they use, and their risk-taking behaviorall of which impact their safety and risk for certain collision outcomes. NHTSA has identified five segments of the riding population for which risk-taking can be better understood. A data-driven approach to assessing risk-taking will enable NHTSA to strategically and costeffectively target interventions that can improve motorcyclist safety.
Affected Public: For segments 1, 2, 4, and 5, surveys will be sent only to people in the respective State DMV
database who have a motorcycle endorsement, have received citations related to the particular segment i.e., driving while impaired, speeding, or failure to wear a helmet, have the specific type of motorcycle specific to the segment e.g., sport bike, are the defined sex for the segment, and fall within the age range for the segment.
For Segment 3, participants will be females in attendance at a large-scale motorcycle event.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
4,545.
Participation in this study will be voluntary, and approximately 40,000
participants will be invited to take the four rider-segment surveys and approximately 2,000 participants will be recruited to take the female passenger intercept survey. It is estimated that 1,000 participants will complete the
survey for each of the four rider segments total of 4,000 participants and 500 participants will complete the female passenger survey. In addition, 9
participants from each segment will be invited to take the pilot surveys, for a total of 45 pilot participants.
Frequency: This survey is a one-time information collection, and there will be no recurrence.
Estimated Total Burden Hours Estimated Burden Hours for Participating States The estimated time for States to send invitation letters to all possible respondents is 10 minutes per person.
Therefore, multiplying the number of minutes per invitation by the number of invitations to send per segment and rounding, there are 2 hours spent per segment in the pilot 9 invitations 10
min./60 = 1.5 and 1,667 hours per segment for the full survey 10,000
invitations 10 min./60 = 1,666.7. The total rounded burden hours for all segments that involve sending an invitation Segments 1, 2, 4, and 5 is 6,676 hours 8 hours for the pilot 2
hours 4 and 6,668 hours for the full survey 1,667 hours 4. Each segment will be divided across two States with each State sending surveys to no more than two segments. The total hours per segment for participating States are detailed in Table 2.

Max hours per State1,670.

Each State will send survey invitations to half of the sample size of a segment for up to two segments e.g., 5,000 participants in Segment 1
and 5,000 participants in Segment 2.

The labor cost associated with this collection of information for participating States is derived by 1
applying the appropriate average hourly labor rate published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2 dividing by 0.619

61.9% 3 for state and local government workers, to obtain the total cost of compensation, and 3 multiplying by the estimated burden hours for each segment. To arrive at the cost per segment for each State, the total segment cost must be divided in half since survey invitations for each segment will be divided across two States, with each
State sending surveys to no more than two segments. Labor costs associated with States to send invitation letters are estimated to be $28.09 per hour for Mail Clerks and Mail Machine Operators, Except Postal Service,
