SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background: The purpose of this study is to quantify and assess 
consumer awareness of the HHG Consumer Information Program. The study 
will determine the interstate moving public's recognition or knowledge 
of the Program's activities or messages, such as the ``Protect Your 
Move'' campaign. The data will be collected through a telephone survey. 
Results of the study will not be published, but used for internal 
research purposes by FMCSA in developing future HHG campaign materials, 
identifying target audiences, and determining distribution strategies 
to provide better consumer information to the public.
    Title: Household Goods Consumer Information Program Assessment 
Study.
    OMB Control Number: 2126-0045.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently-approved ICR.
    Respondents: Public/consumers who have moved household goods from 
one State to a different State in the U.S. (Interstate Household Goods 
Shippers).
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,500.
    Estimated Time per Response: The estimated average burden per 
response is 15 minutes.
    Expiration Date: July 31, 2011.
    Frequency of Response: This information collection will occur twice 
within the three year effective period of the OMB clearance; once in 
the initial year of approval and again two years following the initial 
data collection.
    Estimated Average Total Annual Burden: 250 hours [1,500 respondents 
x 15 minutes/60 minutes per response x 2 telephone interviews/3 year 
ICR approval timeframe = 250].
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this information collection, including: (1) Whether the proposed 
collection is necessary for the performance of FMCSA's functions; (2) 
the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for FMCSA to enhance the 
quality, usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and (4) 
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of 
the collected information. The agency will summarize or include your 
comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information
