SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Older Driver Rearview Video Systems.
    Type of Request: New information collection requirement.
    Abstract: A 2014 final rule by NHTSA requires rear visibility 
technology in all new vehicles under 10,000 pounds by May 2018, but the 
anticipated safety gains strongly depend on the extent to which drivers 
understand and use the technology as intended. The purpose of this 
study is to assess the driving performance of adults 60 and older using 
traditional mirrors as compared to using a rearview video system (RVS) 
during backing tasks; and to develop, implement, and assess the 
effectiveness of an RVS training protocol.
    Study staff will invite drivers 60 and older from residential 
communities, senior centers, and/or service or faith-based 
organizations in southeast Pennsylvania to a public meeting to describe 
the opportunity including inclusion and exclusion criteria. The project 
plans to recruit a total of 200 participants for the study: 80 for 
Segment 1 and 120 for Segment 2. Segment 1 participants will complete a 
series of backing tasks in an instrumented vehicle as directed by a 
driving evaluator. The 120 participants assigned to Segment 2 will 
complete a 30-minute training session, which will be based on 
participant errors and comments during Segment 1, before completing the 
backing tasks in the same manner as the Segment 1 participants. 
Participants will receive compensation for study participation at the 
completion of the backing tasks.
    Findings will provide information about whether people ages 60 and 
older differ in backing performance when using RVS versus traditional 
inside traditional mirrors, which elements of RVS use are particularly 
difficult for this cohort, and whether RVS training improves older 
drivers' ability to use RVS to avoid obstacles while backing. NHTSA 
will use the information to inform recommendations to the public 
regarding backing practices for the purpose of reducing crashes.
    Affected Public: Participants will include 200 licensed drivers 60 
and older.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: The total burden for data collection 
would be 360 hours.
    Comments are invited 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 Department's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collection;
    (iii) ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
    (iv) 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 of this 
notice.

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