Application To Export Electric Energy; J.P. Morgan Commodities Canada Corporation, 26667-26668 [E9-12921]

Download as PDF PWALKER on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 105 / Wednesday, June 3, 2009 / Notices Part 1 Chapter 3 of the TGDC Recommendations, with the exception of Chapter 3’s performance benchmark requirements. Part 1 Chapter 3 of the TGDC Recommendations is primarily a maintenance level upgrade to the 2005 VVSG with minor modifications, clarifications, and a few additions including performance and poll worker usability requirements. (The VSS 2002 contained almost no usability, accessibility, and privacy requirements. As a result, the 2005 VVSG Section 3 was mostly new material based on research, best practices, and standards relating to human factors and the design of user interfaces as they apply to voting systems.) 7. System Security Documentation Requirements—Security documentation requirements in Volume II Section 2.6 (Security Documentation) of the 2005 VVSG are revised with requirements from Part 2 Section 3.5 (System Security Specification) of the TGDC Recommendations. The new requirements include high-level security descriptions of the voting system and specific areas including • Access control, • Software installation security, • System event logging, • Physical security, • Setup inspection, and • Cryptography. 8. Electronic Records—Section 2.4.4 (Electronic Records) has been added to Volume I Section 2 (Functional Requirements) of the 2005 VVSG; it contains requirements from Part 1 Chapter 4.3 (Electronic Records) of the TGDC Recommendations. These requirements cover the electronic reports generated by the voting system, including specific reports for tabulators and Election Management Systems (EMS). 9. Voter Verified Paper Audit Trails (VVPAT)—VVPAT requirements in Volume I Sections 7.9.1 through 7.9.4 (Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail Requirements) are replaced with requirements from Part 1 Chapter 4.4.2 (VVPAT) of the TGDC Recommendations. 10. Cryptography—Cryptography requirements in the 2005 VVSG are revised with requirements from Part 1 Section 5.1 (Cryptography) of the TGDC Recommendations. When cryptography is used in a voting system, the requirements call for the use of a level 1 FIPS 140 validated cryptographic module (which allows software as well as hardware implementations, whereas the TGDC Recommendations allowed only hardware implementations). In addition, the new requirements require the use of NIST approved cryptographic VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:08 Jun 02, 2009 Jkt 217001 algorithms at the 112-bit security strength or higher. 11. External Interface Requirement— Volume I Section 7.4.6 (Software Setup Validation) of the 2005 VVSG are revised with newly developed requirements to allow an alternative method to validate software on voting systems. The requirements state that voting systems must support one of the two verification methods specified in the requirements. The current software verification method allows software to be verified after software has been installed. The alternative software verification method verifies software as it is being installed on the voting system and requires voting systems to have mechanisms to protect the software once installed. 12. EAC Requests for Interpretation (RFI) decisions—Requirements and discussion throughout the 2005 VVSG are revised based on the current set of EAC RFI decisions, from 2007–01 through 2008–12, located at https:// www.eac.gov/program-areas/votingsystems/voting-system-certification/ interpretations. 13. General Edits—Several sections of the VVSG were revised to improve the consistency of wording or fix errors in the 2005 VVSG. In addition, several sections were revised to recognize the creation of the EAC’s Testing and Certification Program which was not in place at the time of adoption of the 2005 VVSG. DATES: Comments must be received on or before 4 p.m. EST on September 28, 2009. Submission of Comments: The public may submit comments through one of the three different methods provided by the EAC: (1) Online electronic comment form at https://www.eac.gov, (Please note that the electronic comment tool will not be immediately available.

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. Donetta L. Davidson, Commissioner, U.S. Election Assistance Commission. [FR Doc.
