SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information Collection Request

    Before a Federal agency can collect certain information from the 
public, it must receive approval from the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB). In compliance with these requirements, this notice 
announces that the following information collection request has been 
forwarded to OMB.
    OMB Control Number: To be issued at time of approval.
    Title: Emergency Medical Services Sleep Health and Fatigue 
Education.
    Form Numbers: NHTSA Forms 1460, 1461, 1462, 1463, 1464, 1465, 1466, 
and 1467.
    Type of Review: New information collection.
    Abstract: NHTSA proposes to collect information from Emergency 
Medical Services (EMS) personnel who operate ambulances on the roadway 
for a one-time voluntary study to evaluate the effectiveness of a 
fatigue mitigation intervention that delivers education and training. 
Up to 200 EMS agencies across the United States will be contacted and 
screened in order to recruit a total of 30 agencies to participate in 
the study. NHTSA anticipates contacting up to 100 EMS personnel per 
participating agency (3,000 total) to screen and recruit 1,500 eligible 
participants for the study. NHTSA expects 1,200 voluntary participants 
to complete the sign-up process, including providing demographic 
information and shift schedules, and to consent to participate in the 
24-week study. Participants will complete a baseline survey that 
includes self-reported fatigue and sleepiness and will retake the 
survey halfway through the study and again at the end of the study. All 
participants will complete the ten ten-minute training modules during 
the study period. Once the study is underway, participants will be 
asked to respond to daily text messages about sleepiness and fatigue 
for eight weeks of the 24-week study. Finally, NHTSA will ask 30 of the 
1,200 participants to provide additional information by keeping a daily 
sleep diary for eight weeks and by taking a brief vigilance task test 
to measure fatigue at the beginning and end of each shift over eight 
days.
    Respondents: NHTSA anticipates contacting up to 3,000 EMS personnel 
across 30 participating agencies to recruit up to 1,200 voluntary 
respondents.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: The total estimated burden for EMS 
agency recruitment (17 hours), recruitment of EMS clinicians (250 
hours), the consenting process (250 hours), initial data collection and 
training (2,900), follow-up data collection (6,600), and additional 
data collection for assessing measurement error (124) is 10,141 hours.

II. Comment Response

    On July 14th, 2018, NHTSA published a notice in the Federal 
Register (NHTSA-2018-0060) with a 60-day public comment period to 
announce this proposed information collection. As of the closing date 
of September 17th, 2018, two comments were received in response to this 
notice.
    Both comments were positive and supportive of this information 
collection request.
