Summary of steps (these steps are available
in Grants.gov during registration):
STEP 1: Obtain DUNS Number
Same day. If requested by phone (1–866–
705–5711) DUNS is provided immediately. If
your organization does not have one, you
will need to go to the Dun & Bradstreet Web
site at https://fedgov.dnb.com/webform to
obtain the number.
STEP 2: Register with SAM
Three to five business days or up to two
weeks. If you already have a TIN, your SAM
registration will take 3–5 business days to
process. If you are applying for an EIN please
allow up to 2 weeks. Ensure that your
organization is registered with the System for
Award Management (SAM) at System for
Award Management (SAM). If your
organization is not, an authorizing official of
your organization must register.
STEP 3: Establish an Account in

Notice and request for

ACTION:
The Department of the
Treasury, on behalf of itself and the
United States Bureau of Engraving and
Printing (BEP) and as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, invites the
SUMMARY:

general public and other Federal
agencies to comment on one new
proposed information collection, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, Public Law 104–13 (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). The BEP has
requested and received approval for a
generic clearance to conduct conference
studies and focus groups. This generic
clearance has allowed the BEP to collect
information from attendees of
conferences and gatherings for persons
who are blind and visually impaired
about which tactile features most
effectively provide meaningful access to
denominate United States paper
currency. The new clearance will allow
the BEP to engage in a scientific study
that will help gauge the acuity with
which blind and visually impaired
persons can denominate United States
paper currency using various, tactile
features currently being evaluated.
Initially, the BEP had planned to request
a second generic clearance for the
scientific study, allowing flexibility for
multiple iterations and different
protocols. However, given the results of
research and the smaller studies
conducted with the first generic
clearance, BEP will request a standalone clearance for a more focused
study. The 60-day notice for the initial
generic clearance was published in the
Federal Register on January 30, 2012
(77 FR 4626). No comments were
received.
DATES: Written comments should be
received on or before June 10, 2013 to
be assured of consideration.
ADDRESSES: Comments regarding these
information collections should be
addressed to the BEP Contact listed
below and to the Treasury Department
PRA Clearance Officer, Department of
the Treasury, Room 11000, 1750
Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington,
DC 20220.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Copies of the submission(s) may be

Deputy Chief Counsel, United States
Department of the Treasury, Bureau of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Study for Meaningful Access
Determination.
OMB Control Number: NEW.
Abstract: A court order was issued in
American Council of the Blind v.
Paulson, 591 F. Supp. 2d 1 (D.D.C.
2008) (‘‘ACB v. Paulson’’) requiring the
Department of the Treasury and BEP to
‘‘provide meaningful access to United
States currency for blind and other
PO 00000

Fmt 4703

27295
visually impaired persons, which steps
shall be completed, in connection with
each denomination of currency, not
later than the date when a redesign of
that denomination is next approved by
the Secretary of the Treasury . . .’’
In compliance with the court’s order,
BEP intends to meet individually with
blind and visually impaired persons and
request their feedback about tactile
features that BEP is considering for
possible incorporation into the next U.S.
paper currency redesign. BEP
employees will attend national
conventions and conferences for
disabled persons.
The BEP intends to contract with a
specialist in the field of tactile acuity to
conduct scientific tests. The specialist
contracted with by the BEP will conduct
acuity testing with select groups of
blind and visually impaired volunteers.
The acuity tests will help either confirm
or provide other perspectives on the
results of BEP’s information collections
at national conferences and
conventions. The acuity tests will also
help provide a scientific basis on which
BEP determines the tactile feature to be
incorporated into the next United States
paper currency design.
The BEP’s information collection
activities at national conferences may
use identical methodologies or
otherwise share a common element as
those employed by a specialist
contracted with by BEP to perform a
scientific acuity study.
Type of Review: New Collection.
Affected Public: Individuals,
Organizations.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
The study will likely involve up to
500 subjects. Each individual data
collection session will be approximately
60 minutes long.
Estimated Average Time per
Respondent: 60 minutes per response.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: Approximately 500 burden
hours.
Request for Comments: Comments
submitted in response to this notice will
be summarized and/or included in the
request for Office of Management and
Budget approval. All comments will
become a matter of public record. The
public is invited to submit written
comments concerning: (a) Whether the
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Bureau, including

of the Treasury . . .''
In compliance with the court's order, BEP intends to meet
individually with blind and visually impaired persons and request their
feedback about tactile features that BEP is considering for possible
incorporation into the next U.S. paper currency redesign. BEP employees
will attend national conventions and conferences for disabled persons.
The BEP intends to contract with a specialist in the field of
