National Roadside Survey of Alcohol
and Drug Prevalence of Road Users:
2025
National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments on a new information
collection.
AGENCY:

In compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), this notice announces that the
Information Collection Request (ICR)
abstracted below will be submitted to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval. The ICR
describes the nature of the information
collection and its expected burden. The
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) intends to
conduct a new information collection
for a National Roadside Survey (NRS) of
alcohol and other drug prevalence
among drivers and other road users
(ORUs; e.g., pedestrians, bicyclists,
electric scooter riders, and those with
mobility aids). NHTSA will conduct two
studies. Study 1 will focus on drivers
but include convenience sampling of
ORUs passing by the driver data
collection locations. Study 2 is a pilot
test assessing the feasibility of an NRS
specific to ORUs. Both will collect
breath and oral fluid specimens,
demographic information, and selfreport questionnaire data on roads
across the country. Participation will be
voluntary and anonymous. A Federal
Register notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the
following information collection was
published on November 20, 2024.
NHTSA received 6 comments, which we
address below.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before October 20, 2025.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection, including
suggestions for reducing burden, should
be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), a Federal
agency must receive approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) before it collects certain
information from the public and a
person is not required to respond to a
collection of information by a Federal
agency unless the collection displays a
valid OMB control number. In
compliance with these requirements,
this notice announces that the following
information collection request will be
submitted to OMB.
Title: National Roadside Survey of
Alcohol and Drug Prevalence of Road
Users: 2025.
OMB Control Number: New.
Form Numbers: NHTSA Forms #1762,
1763, 1764.
Type of Request: Request for approval
of a new information collection.
Type of Review Requested: Regular.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval: 3 years from date of approval.
Summary of the Collection of
Information: NHTSA is seeking
approval to conduct two studies. Study
1 will focus on drivers but include
convenience sampling of ORUs passing
by the data collection locations. Study
2 is a Pilot Test assessing the feasibility
of an NRS specific to ORUs. Both will
collect breath and oral fluid specimens,
demographic information, and selfreport questionnaire data on roads
across the country. Participation will be
voluntary and anonymous.
Study 1 will recruit drivers at the
roadside to test for alcohol and other
selected drugs known, or suspected, to
impair cognitive and motor skills
important for driving safety. The study
will operate data collection research
teams across the country to collect
breath samples, oral fluid specimens,
and questionnaire data to be analyzed to
achieve NHTSA’s research objectives.
The study will allow NHTSA to
estimate the population-level
prevalence of alcohol- and other drugpositive driving on roadways in the U.S.
for the selected days and times.
Information will also be requested from
other road users who pass by the Study
1 data collection locations.
Study 2 examines the viability of a
stand-alone roadside nationwide survey

focused solely on ORUs. This effort uses
20 new data collection locations,
inclusive of 4 PSUs with 5 locations in
each. This effort is to inform NHTSA on
the feasibility of such a targeted
roadside survey, and to determine the
level of effort to execute a nationwide
study of ORUs. The same procedures as
Study 1 will be used.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use of the
Information: NHTSA was established to
reduce deaths, injuries, and economic
losses resulting from motor vehicle
crashes on the Nation’s highways. As
part of this statutory mandate, NHTSA
is authorized to conduct research for the
development of traffic safety programs.
Subchapter V of Chapter 301 of Title 49
of the United States Code (U.S.C.)
authorizes the Secretary of
Transportation to conduct motor vehicle
safety research. 49 U.S.C. 30182.
Pursuant to Section 1.95 of Title 49 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
the Secretary has delegated this
authority to the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Additionally, Title 23, United States
Code, Chapter 4, Section 403 gives the
Secretary of Transportation (NHTSA by
delegation) authorization to use funds
appropriated to conduct research and
development activities. The agency
develops, promotes, and implements
educational, engineering, and
enforcement programs with the goal of
ending preventable tragedies and
reducing economic costs associated
with vehicle use and highway travel.
Current data is essential to develop
appropriate approaches to improve
traffic safety. This is especially true for
information on impaired driving, both
for alcohol, and for drug use and driving
where data is much more limited.
Drugs affect biology, perception,
psychomotor ability, and behavior. With
the exception of alcohol, however,
relatively little is known about the
prevalence of drugged driving currently
on U.S. roadways because of the
complexities associated with collecting,
analyzing, and reporting information on
other drug use. Given the number of
States legalizing medicinal and/or
recreational use of cannabis, and other
issues such as the increase in opioid use
in the U.S., more information is needed
on the level of alcohol-involved and
other drug-involved driving on the
nation’s roadways to better inform
NHTSA’s countermeasure development
efforts.
NHTSA and other traffic safety
stakeholders have sought to learn about
these issues through varied
methodological approaches. For Study
1, researchers will collaborate with State

Jkt 265001

and local officials to collect data at the
roadside at 300 roadway locations (60
primary sampling units [PSUs], also
known as ‘‘sites,’’ with 5 roadway
locations each) across the country.
Roadside surveys such as this provide
objective measures of alcohol and other
drugs in drivers’ systems at the time
they are actually driving, based on tests
results from breath samples and oral
fluid samples collected using
established sample collection methods.
All samples will then be tested, and
results confirmed by a leading forensic
toxicology laboratory. This approach
will allow for the estimation of alcohol
and other drug prevalence among the
non-crash-involved general driving
population in the U.S. for the selected
days and times studied.
Study 1 also explores whether it is
possible to collect information from
ORUs encountered at the driver data
collection locations including
individuals in transit on foot, on a
bicycle, electric scooter, or with a
mobility aid.
Study 2 is a separate test to determine
the viability of a stand-alone roadside
survey focused solely on ORUs (i.e.,
excluding drivers) to estimate the
population level prevalence of alcohol
and other drug use among other road
user types for specified days and times.
Study 2 will select 20 new data
collection locations to recruit a
convenience sample of ORUs.
The results of this project will assist
NHTSA as the agency develops its
programmatic activities aimed at
reducing crashes and fatalities that may
be associated with the use of alcohol
and/or other drugs. It is expected the
results of this study will be compared to
future studies to monitor alcohol and
other drug prevalence trends over time
on the nation’s roadways.
60-Day Notice: A Federal Register
notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting public comments on the
following information collection was
published on November 20, 2024 (89 FR
43505). Five comments were received
during the comment period; One
additional comment was received the
next day. The American Association of
Motor Vehicle Administrators
(AAMVA) expressed support for the
project, stating they are ‘‘supportive of
the opportunity to have greater
transparency into safety data that can
help roadway safety researchers and
practitioners to better understand the
prevalence of drivers with one or more
drugs in their system while driving.’’
Four comments were made by
individuals but were not relevant to the
information collection. The Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)

PO 00000

Frm 00086

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

provided comments, after the deadline,
on January 22, 2025. The IIHS expressed
support for the project, specifically, that
‘‘a 2025 survey is important for
providing up-to-date alcohol and drug
prevalence estimates among drivers’’
and ‘‘agrees that other road users such
as pedestrians, bicyclists, and electric
scooter riders will be a useful addition
to the survey, as the number of nonoccupant fatalities on U.S. roadways has
been increasing in recent years.’’ There
were no adverse comments, and no
changes were made to this information
collection in response to comments.
Affected Public: Study 1 will recruit
volunteers who are drivers of passenger
motor vehicles on active roadways at
the 300 selected sampling locations.
ORUs passing by the Study 1 data
collection locations will also be
recruited to participate. The site and
location sampling are based on
recruitment of drivers. For ORUs,
participants will be recruited to the
extent they are available at the
locations. Study 2 will focus specifically
on ORUs (i.e., excluding drivers) at 20
new sampling locations across 4 PSUs
to assess the feasibility of conducting a
stand-alone nationwide roadside survey
on these vulnerable road user
populations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
Participation in this study will be
voluntary and anonymous. Study 1
expects to contact approximately 11,750
drivers at the selected sampling
locations with 9,000 agreeing to
participate. Based on the last NRS
results, it is expected 8,000 drivers will
fully participate and 1,000 will partially
participate (i.e., stops providing
information before full data collection is
complete). Study 1 also expects to
contact 750 ORUs at the Study 1 data
collection locations with 500 fully
participating and 60 partially
participating. Study 2 of only ORUs
expects to contact approximately 750
individuals with 500 fully participating
and 60 partially participating.
Frequency: Both Study 1 and Study 2
are one-time data collections. Because 5
data collection locations are located in
each PSU, there is a remote chance an
individual could participate more than
once in either effort. Because data
collection is anonymous, it will not be
possible to know if an individual
participates more than once. However,
this is not likely and not expected, as
potential participants will not know
data collection locations or times ahead
of time, and the time at any location
will be limited.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: The total annual burden hours
for the two studies is estimated to be

E:\FR\FM\18SEN1.SGM

18SEN1

45104

Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 179 / Thursday, September 18, 2025 / Notices

531 hours. The total amount of burden
across both studies combined is
estimated to be 1,593 hours. This
includes approximately 1,500 hours for
the 9,000 participants (8,000 Study 1
drivers, 500 Study 1 ORUs, 500 Study
2 ORUs) who will fully participate. The

expected completion time for each
individual is 10 minutes. The remaining
93 hours are for the 1,120 people who
will partially participate (1,000 Study 1
drivers, 60 Study 1 ORUs, 60 Study 2
ORUs). It is expected these individuals
will spend 5 minutes on average for

partial participation. The total amount
of burden cost to respondents to
participate across both studies is
estimated to be $72,640 (see Table 1).
The total annual burden cost to
respondents is $24,213.
