The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is seeking public comments on its plan to extend and modify a currently approved information collection related to crash data studies. These studies include the Crash Investigation Sampling System (CISS) and Special Crash Investigation (SCI), aimed at enhancing motor vehicle and highway safety data collection. NHTSA intends to increase the number of data collection sites and expand its focus to include more types of crashes, such as those involving non-motorists and large vehicles. The agency estimates the total annual burden for respondents to be 17,521 hours, with no associated costs beyond labor.
Simple Explanation
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration wants to see what people think about their plan to learn more about car accidents. They want to study more car crashes in different places, including ones with big trucks and people walking or biking.
