agencies concerning each proposed collection of information. OMB has promulgated regulations describing what must be included in such a document. Under OMBs regulation at 5 CFR 1320.8d, an agency must request public comment on the following: a Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; b the accuracy of the agencys estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; c how to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and d how to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g. permitting electronic submission of responses. In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA asks for public comments on the extension of the following collection of information for which the agency is seeking approval from OMB.
Title: Automated Driving Systems 2.0:
A Vision for Safety.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently-approved information collection.
OMB Control Number: 21270723.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review Requested: Regular.
Requested Expiration Date of Approval: Three years from date of approval.
Summary of the collection of Information: In September 2017, NHTSA published a policy document titled, Automated Driving Systems 2.0: A Vision for Safety ADS
2.0. Recognizing the potential that Automated Driving Systems ADSs have to enhance safety and mobility, this policy document set out an approach to enable the safe deployment of Automated Driving Systems SAE
Automation Levels 3 through 5
Conditional, High, and Full Automation Systems as defined in SAE J3016.1
Consistent with its statutory purpose to reduce traffic crashes and deaths and injuries resulting from traffic accidents,2
NHTSA has recommended disclosure of information via a Voluntary Safety SelfAssessment VSSA related to ADS

technologies by vehicle manufacturers and other entities as described in ADS
2.0. In the section of ADS 2.0 titled, Voluntary Guidance for Automated Driving Systems hereafter referred to as Voluntary Guidance, NHTSA
recommended that manufacturers and other entities assess their ADS-equipped vehicle against specific safety elements, summarize that assessment, and then voluntarily disclose that summary to the public.3 The Voluntary Guidance outlines recommended best practices, many of which should be commonplace in the industry, for the safe predeployment design, development, and testing of ADSs prior to commercial sale or operation on public roads.
Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use of the Information: To assist States and the public in understanding how safety is being considered by manufacturers and other entities developing and testing ADSs, NHTSA has encouraged disclosures that aid in that mission. The burden estimates contained in this notice are based on the Agencys understanding of the ADS market and the time associated with generating a self-assessment and voluntarily making a summary of that self-assessment public. The estimates in this notice are adjustments from the previous information collection request ICR
demonstrating a decrease in the burdenhour estimate.
The manner by which NHTSA
encourages ADS manufacturers and other entities to disclose information is through a VSSA. The VSSA summarizes how the manufacturer or other entity has considered the safety elements contained in the Voluntary Guidance as shown below:
System Safety Operational Design Domain Object and Event Detection and Response Fallback Minimal Risk Condition Validation Methods Human Machine Interface Vehicle Cybersecurity Crashworthiness Post-Crash ADS Behavior Data Recording Consumer Education and Training Federal, State and Local Laws The Agency believes the work associated with consideration of the safety element in the Voluntary Guidance to be an extension of good and safe engineering practices already in place. It therefore believes that manufacturers and other entities will have access to all the information 3 https www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.dot.gov/files/
