To Obtain a copy of the TGDC Draft Recommendations of the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines: Due to the fact that the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines are more than 550 pages in length, the entire draft document has not been attached to this notice. A complete copy of the TGDC draft recommendations of the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines is available from the EAC in electronic format. An electronic copy can be downloaded in PDF format or read in HTML version on EAC’s Web site, http;://www.eac.gov. In order to obtain a paper copy of the TGDC draft recommendations please mail a written request to Voluntary Voting System Guidelines Comments, U.S. Election Assistance Commission, 1225 New York Ave., NW., Suite 1100, Washington, DC 20005. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew Masterson, Phone (202) 566– 3100, e-mail votingsystemstandards@eac.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Prior to the passage of HAVA, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) published the 2002 Voting System Standards (VSS). HAVA mandated that the EAC update the VSS. In December of 2005 the EAC adopted the 2005 VVSG. The 2005 VVSG used many of the same requirements as the 2002 VSS but it expanded the security, accessibility, and usability sections. On March 29, 2006, the TGDC held its first meeting to discuss the next iteration of the VVSG. Since that time, the TGDC has held numerous public meetings and subcommittee conference calls to create a set of draft guidelines for recommendation to the EAC (all TGDC meeting materials can be found at https://www.vote.nist.gov). On August 17, 2007, the TGDC voted to complete final edits of their recommendations and submit them to the Executive Director of the EAC. The EAC received the draft guidelines from the TGDC on August 31, 2007. The recommended guidelines currently consist of an Introduction and three distinct Parts. The Introduction is an overview of the requirements and explanations of new or expanded materials. Part 1 contains the equipment requirements including upgraded requirements for security and new usability benchmarks for voting machines. Part 2 details the documentation requirements for both the manufacturers and the Voting System Test Laboratories (VSTL). Part 2 also includes a section on the VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:55 Nov 05, 2007 Jkt 214001 submission of the Technical Data Package and requirements for full system user documentation. Part 3 contains the testing requirements for voting machines. This includes new material on open ended vulnerability testing and new benchmarks for performance testing. In addition to the introduction and the three parts, the guidelines contain (1) an appendix for ‘‘definitions of words with special meaning’’ specific to the requirements and (2) an appendix detailing all references and end notes. Now that the TGDC has submitted its draft recommendations to the EAC for publication in the Federal Register, the EAC will begin its review and development process. This is a four phase plan: Phase I—EAC will submit the TGDC’s draft document to the Federal Register and provide a public comment feature on www.eac.gov. The public comment period will last for 120 days and all comments will be made available for public review. This public comment period is not required by law; however, the EAC thought it was extremely important to receive public input before proceeding with the process. During this public comment period the EAC will conduct public hearings regarding the TGDC’s draft recommendations. The TGDC draft is currently available at https://www.eac.gov. Phase II—EAC will collect and review all public comments submitted on the TGDC draft. After consideration of all public comments, the EAC will then perform an internal review. Phase III—Based upon public comment and internal review of the TGDC document, the EAC will develop and publish its draft version in the Federal Register. The public will have another 120 days to comment on the EAC draft version. EAC will conduct public hearings to discuss its draft version. Phase IV—EAC will collect and review all comments submitted and make final modifications. The final version of the VVSG will be adopted by vote of the Commission at a public meeting and then published in the Federal Register. Thomas R. Wilkey, Executive Director, U.S. Election Assistance Commission.
