DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

[Docket No. DOT-NHTSA-2015-0051]

Notice and Request for Comments

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice and Request for Comments.

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

SUMMARY: The DOT invites public comments about our intention to request
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for new information

collection. Before a Federal agency can collect certain information
from the public, it must receive approval from OMB. Under procedures
established by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, before seeking OMB
approval, Federal agencies must solicit public comment on proposed
collections of information, including extensions and reinstatement of
previously approved collections.
    In compliance with these requirements, this notice announces that
the following information collection request has been forwarded to OMB.
A Federal Register Notice with a 60 day comment period soliciting
comments on the following information collection was published on June
17, 2015 (79 CFR14922). No comments were received on this matter during
the first public review on that notice. OMB will accept comments from
the public during the 30 day review and approval period.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by February 4, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding the burden estimate, including
suggestions for reducing the burden, to the Office of Management and
Budget, Attention: Desk Officer for the Secretary of Transportation,
725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20503. (Identify by Docket No. DOT-
NHTSA-2015-0051).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan McHenry,<PHONE_NUMBER>, Office
of Emergency Medical Services, National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: New.
    Title: National Emergency Medical Services Information System
(NEMSIS)--State Submission to National Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
Database.
    Type of Review: New Information Collection.
    Abstract: NHTSA supports and funds NEMSIS to further its goal of
reducing death and disability on the Nation's roadways. The NEMSIS
Technical Assistance Center (TAC) assists State and local EMS agencies
and software vendors in implementing NEMSIS Version 3.0 (and higher)-
compliant EMS data systems and the corresponding XML standard to
support data transmission and interoperability. NHTSA also maintains
the National EMS Database and a national reporting system. NHTSA
supported the initial development of the National EMS Information
System, including the supporting Data Dictionary and technology
infrastructure, at the request of the National Association of State EMS
Officials. This effort developed the first-ever standardized EMS
patient care reporting mechanism, which would provide essential
information that could lead to improved patient care at local, State
and national levels. Both the Senate and House included NEMSIS language
in FY05 NHTSA Appropriations, directing NHTSA to continue
implementation of NEMSIS and the National EMS Database. Congress has
continued to support funding for the NEMSIS TAC and the National EMS
Database.
    The information collected in the National EMS Database will be used
to: (1) Better describe EMS across the country, (2) provide information
that will help NHTSA better understand the serious injuries sustained
as a result of motor vehicle crashes, (3) inform the NHTSA Office of
EMS on changes in clinical practices/protocols, medications and other
factors that impact National EMS Education Standards, developed by
NHTSA, (4) support EMS research, and (5) support a comprehensive set of
local and State EMS Performance Measures that are currently under
development, with support of NHTSA.
    The National EMS Database is populated by collecting data from
State EMS databases. State EMS databases are populated with patient
care records from local or regional EMS agencies. The most complete
report is the local EMS electronic patient care report completed for
each EMS response. A subset of each the local EMS report is submitted
electronically to the State EMS database and the State EMS office
electronically transmits a smaller subset of all the local data to the
NEMSIS TAC for inclusion in the National EMS Database. The data at the
national level contains no personally identifiable information, and is
reported in the aggregate.
    Affected Public: State and territory EMS offices, and, in some
cases, EMS software vendors.
    Estimated number of Respondents: 56.
    Frequency: Through web services, within a few hours of when the
State receives the local record.
    Number of Responses: Depends on each State and how many patient
calls are responded to. All transmissions are machine to machine.
    Total Annual Burden: Estimate total annual burden to be
approximately12 hours per respondent and cumulative total of 672 hours.
    Form Numbers: No forms.
    Public Comments Invited: You Are Asked To Comment On Any Aspect Of
This information collection, including (a) whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the Department's
performance; (b) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for the
Department to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the
information collection; and (d) ways that the burden could be minimized
without reducing the quality of the collected information. The agency
will summarize and/or include your comments in the request for OMB's
clearance of this information collection.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1:48.

    Issued on: December 29, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 10, 2020, NHTSA published an
ANPRM to obtain public comments on whether any test procedure for any
FMVSS may be a candidate for replacement, repeal, or modification, for
reasons other than for considerations relevant only to automated
driving systems (ADS) (85 FR 79456). The ANPRM provided examples of
test procedures found in FMVSS Nos. 103, 104, 105/135, 121, and 126 to
facilitate responses and asked commenters to consider whether the
agency should make changes to these test procedures or to any other
test procedure. The ANPRM also asked commenters to provide research,
evidence, and data to support why such change may be necessary. The
ANPRM stated that the closing date for comments was February 8, 2021.
    NHTSA received on January 14, 2021 a petition from Auto Innovators
for a 30-day extension of the comment period. The request states that
additional time is necessary to permit Auto Innovators to conduct a
comprehensive review of the extensive number of regulations and FMVSS
that contain detailed test procedures, including standards that
reference industry standards. Auto Innovators also notes that its
efforts to organize group meeting have been hampered by working
inefficiencies induced by COVID meeting restrictions. The request can
be found in the docket for the ANPRM identified in the heading of this
document.
    In accordance with NHTSA's rulemaking procedures in 49 CFR part
553, subpart B, the agency is granting this request to reopen and
extend the comment period. We have determined that the requestors have
shown good cause for an extension, and that the extension is consistent
with the public interest (49 CFR 553.19). A 30-day reopening and
extension appropriately balances NHTSA's interest in providing the
public with sufficient time to comment on the notice with its interest
in proceeding with this rulemaking in a timely manner. Accordingly,
NHTSA is reopening and extending the comment period to the date shown
in the DATES section of this document.

    Issued in Washington, DC pursuant to authority delegated in 49
CFR 1.95 and 501.8.

Associate Administrator for Rulemaking.
