States and territories that submitted a Statutory Overview for 2008 will be asked to provide updates to the information above, where applicable. Needs and Uses: The EAC issues the survey to meet its obligations under the Help America Vote Act to serve as national clearinghouse and resource for the compilation of information with respect to the administration of Federal elections; to fulfill its data collection requirements under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA); and meet its National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) mandate to collect information from states concerning the impact of that statute on the administration of Federal Elections. The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) (42 U.S.C. 15322) requires the EAC to serve as a national clearinghouse and resource for the compilation of information and review of procedures with respect to the administration of Federal Elections. This includes the obligation to study and report on election activities, practices, policies, and procedures, including methods of voter registration, methods of conducting provisional voting, poll worker recruitment and training, and such other matters as the Commission determines are appropriate. In addition, under the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), the EAC is responsible for collecting information and reporting, biennially, to the United States Congress on the impact of that statute. The information the States are required to submit to the EAC for purposes of the NVRA report are found under Title 11 of the Code of Federal Regulations. States that respond to questions in this survey concerning voter registration related matters will meet their NVRA reporting requirements under 42 U.S.C. 1973gg-7 and EAC regulations. Finally, the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voters Act (UOCAVA) mandates that EAC create a standardized format for state reporting of UOCAVA voting information (42 U.S.C. 1973ff-1). Additionally, UOCAVA requires that ‘‘not later than 90 days after the date of each regularly scheduled general election for Federal office, each State and unit of local government which administered the VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:32 Sep 04, 2009 Jkt 217001 election shall (through the State, in the case of a unit of local government) submit a report to the Election Assistance Commission (established under the Help America Vote Act of 2002) on the combined number of absentee ballots transmitted to absent uniformed services voters and overseas voters for the election and the combined number of such ballots which were returned by such voters and cast in the election, and shall make such a report available to the general public.’’ States that complete and timely submit the UOCAVA section of the survey to the EAC will fulfill their UOCAVA reporting requirement under 42 U.S.C. 1973ff-1(c). In order to fulfill the above requirements, the EAC is seeking information relating to the period from the Federal general election day 2008 +1 through the November 2010 Federal general election.

On July 6, 2009, Muskingum Valley Hydro filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Muskingum Valley Hoover Dam Hydroelectric Project No. 13535, to be located at the existing Hoover Dam, on the Big Walnut River, in Franklin County, Ohio. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not authorize the permit holder to perform any land disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the owners’ express permission. The existing Hoover Dam is owned and operated by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and includes the existing reservoir, dam, outlet works, and tailrace. The proposed project would consist of: (1) The existing 85.5foot-high earth fill concrete gravity Hoover Dam equipped with a 680-footlong ogee spillway; (2) an existing 3,272-acre impoundment with a normal water surface elevation 890 feet mean sea level; (3) a new 30-foot-long by 30foot-wide powerhouse containing two turbine generator units for a total installed capacity of 3.5 megawatts; (4) a new 600-foot-long, 14.7-kilovolt transmission line; and (5) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would operate in run-of-river mode and generate an estimated average annual generation of 30,600,000 kilowatt-hours. Applicant Contact: Randall J.

and 255 require EAC to publish such updates. This is the first revision 
to the State plan for New Mexico, and the second revision to the State 
plans for Maryland and Nebraska.
    The revised State plans from Maryland, Nebraska, and New Mexico 
provide information on program accomplishments and address changes in 
the respective budgets to account for the use of Fiscal Year 2008 and 
2009 requirements payments. In accordance with HAVA section 254(a)(12), 
all the State plans submitted for publication provide information on 
how the respective State succeeded in carrying out its previous State 
plan. The States all confirm that these changes to their respective 
State plans were developed and submitted to public comment in 
accordance with HAVA sections 254(a)(11), 255, and 256.
    Upon the expiration of thirty days from September 8, 2009, the
