SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
before an agency submits a proposed collection of information to OMB 
for approval, it must first publish a document in the Federal Register 
providing a 60-day public comment period and otherwise consult with 
members of the public and affected agencies concerning each proposed 
collection of information. The OMB has promulgated regulations 
describing what must be included in such a document. Under OMB's 
regulation (at 5 CFR 1320.8(d)), an agency must ask for public comment 
on the following:
    (i) 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;
    (ii) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) How to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected;
    (iv) 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 following proposed collections of information:
    Title: 23 CFR, Part 1313, Alcohol Impaired Driving 
Countermeasures--Section 410.
    OMB Number: 2127-0501.
    Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection of 
information.

Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the 
Northern Mariana Islands.
    Abstract: An impaired driving incentive grant is available to 
States that have an alcohol fatality rate of 0.5 or less per 100 
million vehicle miles traveled as determined by using the most recent 
Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) data or that are one of the 
ten States that have the highest alcohol related fatality rates as 
determined by using the most recent FARS data. States designated as a 
high fatality rate State must submit a grant expenditures plan for 
conducting a high visibility impaired driving law enforcement program 
and a report on the previous years activities. States may also qualify 
through meeting specified program criteria. To demonstrate compliance 
using program criteria a State must submit an application that shows 
how they met three of eight criteria in FY2006, four of eight criteria 
in FY2007 and five of eight criteria in FY2008, FY2009, and beyond.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 1261 hours annually.
    Estimated Number of respondents: 49.
    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 Departments estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collection; and ways to enhance quality and 
clarity of information.
