ACTION: Notice; Request for Substantive
Comments.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Election Assistance
Commission (EAC) is publishing a
procedural manual for its Pilot Voting
System Testing and Certification
Program Manual for a fifteen day public
comment period. This program sets the
administrative procedures for
manufacturers seeking certification of
pilot voting systems to be used in a
federal election.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Brian Hancock, Director, Voting System
Certification, Washington, DC (202)
566–3100, Fax: (202) 566–1392.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background. HAVA requires that the
EAC certify and decertify voting systems
through testing conducted by accredited
laboratories. Section 231(a)(1) of HAVA
(42 U.S.C. 15371) specifically requires
the EAC to ‘‘* * * provide for the
testing, certification, decertification and
recertification of voting system
hardware and software by accredited
laboratories.’’ To meet this obligation,
the EAC has created a voluntary
program to test pilot voting systems to
a set of voluntary pilot certification
requirements. The Pilot Testing
Certification Program manual sets the
procedures for the pilot voting system
manufacturers to follow in order to
receive certification for their system to
VerDate Nov<24>2008

be used in a pilot project for a state or
local jurisdiction that require EAC
certification.
The Pilot Voting System Testing and
Certification program manual contains
program requirements and procedures
for the following areas:
1. Voting system manufacturer
registration.
2. When voting system intended for
use in a pilot must be submitted for
certification.
3. Certification Testing, Technical
Review and Grant of Certification for
Pilot Voting Systems.
4. Denial of Certification.
5. Pilot Program Monitoring and
Reporting.
6. Requests for Interpretations.
7. Release of Certification Program
Information.
Substantive Comments: The EAC
seeks substantive comments from the
public on its proposed procedural
manual. Please submit comments
consistent with the information below.
Comments should identify and cite the
section of the manual at issue. Where a
substantive issue is raised, please
propose a recommended change or
alternative policy. All comments
submitted will be published at the end
of the comment period on the EAC’s
Web site at https://www.eac.gov. This
publication and request for comment is
not required under the rulemaking,
adjudicative, or licensing provisions of
the Administrative Procedures Act
(APA). It is a voluntary effort by the
EAC to gather input from the public on
the EAC’s administrative procedures for
certifying voting systems to be used in
pilot projects. Furthermore, this request
by the EAC for public comment is not
intended to make any of the APA’s
rulemaking provisions applicable to
development of this or future EAC
procedural programs. However, in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, a separate notice
will be published on the Federal
Register to request comments regarding
the burden of responding to the
information collection activities of the
proposed manual; please refer to the

There are two ways to become

obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceedings for this project
should, on or before the comment date
stated below file with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426,
a motion to intervene in accordance
with the requirements of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)
and the Regulations under the NGA (18
CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list

Commission and will receive copies of
all documents filed by the applicant and
by all other parties. A party must submit

However, a person does not have to
intervene in order to have comments
considered. The second way to
participate is by filing with the
Secretary of the Commission, as soon as
possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition
to this project. The Commission will
consider these comments in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken, but the filing of a comment alone
will not serve to make the filer a party
to the proceeding. The Commission’s
rules require that persons filing
comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to
the party or parties directly involved in
the protest.
The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings of comments, protests
and interventions in lieu of paper using
the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at https://www.ferc.gov.
Persons unable to file electronically
should submit an original and 14 copies
of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC
20426.
This filing is accessible on-line at
https://www.ferc.gov, using the
‘‘eLibrary’’ link and is available for
review in the Commission’s Public
Reference Room in Washington, DC.
There is an ‘‘eSubscription’’ link on the
Web site that enables subscribers to
receive e-mail notification when a
document is added to a subscribed
docket(s). For assistance with any FERC
Online service, please e-mail
