SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB
Number: Federal Post Card Application
(FPCA), Standard Form 76 (SF–76);
OMB Control Number 0704–0503.
Needs and Uses: The information
collection requirement is necessary to
fulfill the requirement of the Uniformed
and Overseas Absentee Voting Act
(UOCAVA), 46 U.S.C. 1973ff wherein
the Secretary of Defense is to prescribe
an official postcard form, containing an
absentee voter registration application
and an absentee ballot request
application for use by the States. The
Department of Defense, Under Secretary
of Defense (Personnel and Readiness),
Federal Voting Assistance Program,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:27 Nov 17, 2014
Jkt 235001
revised the SF 76, Federal Post Card
Application and SF 76A, Federal Post
Card Application (Electronic) to comply
with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households.
Annual Burden Hours: 300,000
Number of Respondents: 1,200,000
Responses per Respondent: 1
Average Burden per Response: 15
minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondents are UOCAVA citizens
who desire to apply for voter
registration and/or request an absentee
ballot from their State of residency. The
information provided by these citizens
is used by the States to determine if the
citizen is a resident of a jurisdiction
within that State, and therefore eligible
to vote within that jurisdiction and to
provide absentee ballots to these
citizens for Federal elections held
within each calendar year. This form is
mandated by 42 U.S.C. 1973ff. The
Department of Defense does not receive,
collect nor maintain any data provided
on the form by these citizens; this data
is collected and maintained by the
individual States. The burden in the
collection of this data resides in the
individual States. If the form is not
provided, UOCAVA citizens may not be
able to register to vote in their State of
residency nor be able to request
absentee ballots and thus, may be
disenfranchised from their right as a
U.S. citizen to participate in the
electoral process. The previous Federal
Post Card Application is the edition
dated 08–2013. The form had been
updated for usability and consistency.
The most significant changes to the form
were the addition of the Agency
Disclosure Statement, Block 1
classification options, and affirmation.
Comments are invited on the usability
of the SF 76, Federal Post Card
Application. Interested parties should
locate the PDF form in the docket where
it is available for download and testing.
