ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this notice announces that the Information 
Collection Request (ICR) abstracted below has been forwarded to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The ICR 
describes the nature of the information collection and its expected 
burden. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period 
soliciting comments on the following information collection was 
published on March 1, 1999 [64 FR 10060].

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before October 4, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David Longo, (202) 366-0456, 
Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation, 400 
Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590. Office hours are from 7:00 
a.m. to 4:00 p.m., e.t., Monday through Friday, except Federal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: No-Zone Campaign Assessment.
    Type of Request: Approval of a new information collection.
    Affected Public: Approximately 1,100 adult licensed drivers 
randomly selected from the public.
    Abstract: ``No-Zone'' is a highway safety term used to describe 
danger areas around trucks and buses where crashes are more likely to 
occur. The purpose of the No-Zone campaign is to help reduce the number 
of car-truck crashes, injuries, fatalities, and property loss by 
increasing motorists' awareness of the No-Zone. The FHWA will conduct a 
quantitative analysis of the No-Zone campaign and its messages by 
developing and administering a baseline evaluation study designed to 
quantify respondents' knowledge of truck and bus limitations; their 
knowledge of ``share the road'' issues; and their knowledge of the No-
Zone campaign and its messages. It is anticipated that a sample of 
4,000 respondents will be drawn in order to complete 1,100 interviews 
in households with telephones using a national random digit dial.
    Frequency: The survey will be conducted now for a baseline analysis 
and again in approximately three to five years to assess improvements.
    Estimated Burden: The estimated total annual burden is 92 hours 
(1,100 responses x 5 minutes per response).

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street, NW., 
Washington, DC 20503, Attention: DOT Desk Officer. 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 Department's estimate of the burden of the proposed information 
collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and 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.

    Issued on: August 30, 1999.
