    Title: 2008 National Survey of Drinking and Driving Attitudes and 
Behavior.
    OMB Number: 2127-New.
    Type of Request: New information collection requirement.
    Abstract: The National Survey of Drinking and Driving Attitudes and 
Behavior is conducted on a periodic basis for the National Highway 
Traffic Safety Administration to obtain a status report on attitudes, 
knowledge, and self-reported behavior related to alcohol-impaired 
driving. It is a national telephone survey administered to a randomly 
selected sample of approximately 6,000 persons age 16 and older. Topics 
covered by the survey include drinking behavior, drinking and driving 
behavior, avoidance of drinking and driving, use of a designated 
driver, preventing others from drinking and driving, perceived risks to 
drinking and driving, perceptions and attitudes about enforcement of 
drinking and driving laws, knowledge of legal BAC limits, and perceived 
effectiveness of intervention strategies. The proposed survey is the 
eighth in the series, which began in 1991. The 2008 survey will repeat 
many of the questions included in the preceding surveys in order to 
monitor change over time. The survey will also include new questions 
that address emergent issues in the area of drinking and driving. The 
data will be applied to strategic planning to combat the drinking and 
driving problem, and provide guidance to current programs.
    Affected Public: Randomly selected members of the general public 
aged sixteen and older in telephone households.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 2,006 hours (18 pretest interviews 
averaging 20 minutes per interview, followed by 6,000 interviews 
averaging 20 minutes per interview administered to the final survey 
sample).
    Comments Are Invited on: Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Department, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize 
the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including 
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology. A Comment to OMB is most effective if OMB 
receives it within 30 days of publication.

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A).
