-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Disability Rights 
Section, will be submitting the following information collection 
request to the Office of Management and Budget for review and approval 
in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The information 
collection extension is published to obtain comments from the public 
and affected agencies. This proposed information collection was 
previously published in the Federal Register on March 2, 2010, Volume 
75, Number 50, Page 9433, allowing for a 60-day public comment period.
    The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for 
public comment. Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until June 
17, 2010. This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.10.
    Written comments and/or suggestions regarding the item(s) contained 
in this notice, especially regarding the estimated public burden and

and Budget (OMB), Office of Regulatory Affairs, Attention: Department 
of Justice Desk Officer, Washington, DC 20503. Additionally, comments 
may be submitted to OMB via facsimile to (202) 395-5806.
    Written comments and/or suggestions are requested from the public 
and affected agencies concerning the extension of a currently approved 
collection of information. Your comments should address one or more of 
the following four points:
    (1) Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the function of the agency, including whether 
the information will have practical utility;
    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology (e.g., permitting electronic 
submission of responses).
    Overview of the information collection is listed below:
    (1) Type of information collection. Extension of Currently Approved 
Collection.
    (2) The title of the form/collection. Nondiscrimination on the 
Basis of Disability in State and Local Government Services (Transition 
Plan).
    (3) The agency form number and applicable component of the 
Department sponsoring the collection. No form number. Disability Rights 
Section, Civil Rights Division, U.S. Department of Justice.
    (4) Affected public who will be asked to respond, as well as a 
brief abstract: Primary: State, Local or Tribal Government. Under title 
II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, State and local governments 
are required to operate each service, program, or activity so that the 
service, program, or activity, when viewed in its entirety, is readily 
accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities (``program 
accessibility''). If structural changes to existing facilities are 
necessary to accomplish program accessibility, a public entity that 
employs 50 or more persons must develop a ``transition plan'' setting 
forth the steps necessary to complete the structural changes. A copy of 
the transition plan must be made available for public inspection.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: 3,000 
respondents at 8 hours per transition plan.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: 24,000 hours annual burden.
