In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), this notice announces that the Information Collection Request (ICR) summarized below will be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. This document describes a new collection of information for which NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval titled "Pulsating Stop Lamps, Flashing Lights, and Distance Perception." A Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on this information collection was published on May 26, 2026. Three comments were received in response, providing support for the research and recommending consideration for motorcycles and international regulations related to "emergency stop signals." While these topics are out of scope for this research, NHTSA plans to incorporate the recommended topics into the final report by including them in the literature review and background sections. Incorporation of these inputs into the study does not materially impact the burden on the participants, and therefore the participant burden estimate included in the 60-day notice remains unchanged.

NHTSA invites public comments about our intention to request approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a new information collection.

This document describes a collection of information for which NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval on Driver Monitoring System (DMS)--Applied Research to Develop Test Procedure for Drowsiness.
