## Abstract

This document adopts uniform criteria for State seat belt use surveys, previously published as an interim final rule, with one clarifying change in response to a comment. The criteria are used by the States to determine their seat belt use rates under a new Federal grant program, which directs the Secretary of Transportation to allocate funds to States whose seat belt use rates meet certain requirements, based on measurement criteria established by the Secretary.
