Paperwork Reduction Act Statement: A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information displays a current valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number for this information collection is 2127-XXXX. The information collected on this form will be used to better understand current consumer perceptions of the utility and availability of crash avoidance technologies for motorcycles, including consumer willingness to use and the impact of various contextual factors.  The information will be used to inform agency policymaking and consumer education efforts.  We estimate that it will take approximately 15 minutes to complete the survey. The information collected is voluntary.  Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to: Information Collection Clearance Officer, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave, S.E., Room W45-205, Washington, DC, 20590.
