Claybrook: Subject: comments on the Agency's Plan to Evaluate the Occupant Crash Protection Standard (CED-80-70) _J We have reviewed the Evaluation Plan for Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208--Occupant Crash Protection pre- pared by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Enclosed are our comments and suggestions on that plan which we are submitting for inclusion in Docket No. 74-14; Notice 15. Our comments are being provided in response to the Safety Administration's announcement of publication and request for comments in the Federal Register on October 22, 1979 (vol. 44, no. 205, pp. 60771-60774). The announcement referred to the prior GAO recommendation calling for such an evaluation. Our consultant, Dr. Lindsay I. Griffin III, Manager of the Traffic Accident Research and Evaluation Program, Texas A&M University, assisted ifi our review and analysis of the plan. We limited our review to an over- view of the potential for making the evaluation and of the data sources to be used and did not review the specific evaluation methodology to be used to assess the effective- ness of the standard. We commend the Safety Administration for its diligent efforts in developing this plan to assess the effectiveness of one of its most significant motor vehicle safety.stand- ards. We belee the successful attainment of the objectives of this project will prove extremely beneficial to the high- way safety community and will' enhance the Safety Adminis- tration's credibility in its r lemaking functions.
