SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA

information.
    Title: Racial Profiling, State Traffic Data, and Child Booster Seat 
Grant Program.
    OMB Control Number: 2127-0653.
    Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: State Governments.
    Abstract: The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation 
Equity Act--A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), Public Law 109-59, 
authorizes several grant programs covering fiscal years (FY) 2006-2009, 
to be administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration (NHTSA). Specifically, these grant programs include the 
following: Section 1906 authorizing a grant program for States that 
enact and enforce a law that prohibits racial profiling in the 
enforcement of traffic laws on Federal-aid highways; Section 2006 
(codified at 23 U.S.C. 408) authorizing a grant program for States to 
support the development and implementation of State traffic safety 
information systems; and Section 2011 authorizing a grant program for 
States for child safety seats and child booster seats.
    Under each program, a State must indicate to NHTSA how it intends 
to obligate and expend grant funds for each fiscal year, and how grant 
funds were expended and spent each fiscal year. It is important for 
NHTSA to be notified about these activities so that it can effectively 
administer the programs and account for the expenditure of funds. To 
reduce burdens, a State will document these activities by submitting 
the information on its Uniform Safety Program Cost Summary Form (HS-
217), a form with existing PRA clearance (OMB Control Number 2127-
0003). The information is submitted electronically in the agency's 
grants tracking systems and periodically updated.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 5,130.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 56 (fifty States, the District of 
Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and 
the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands) for Section 1906; 57 
(fifty States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin 
Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 
Islands, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs) for Section 2006 (codified 
at 23 U.S.C. 408); and 52 (fifty States, the District of Columbia, and 
Puerto Rico) for Section 2011.
    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.
