SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency request
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, ACL is publishing notice
of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
With respect to the following collection
of information, ACL invites comments
on: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the
proper performance of ACL’s functions,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
ACL’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology. The Protection
and Advocacy Voting Access Annual
Narrative Report from the Protection
and Advocacy Systems is required by
federal statute and regulation, the Help
America Vote Act (HAVA), Public Law
107–252, Title II, Subtitle D, Section
291, Payments for Protection and
Advocacy to Assure Access for
Individuals with Disabilities (42 U.S.C.

Community Living, Administration on
Intellectual and Developmental
Disabilities (AIDD). Each eligible

report at the end of every fiscal year by
the 31st of December. The report
addresses the activities conducted with
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the funds provided during the year. The
information collected from the annual
report will be aggregated into an annual
profile of how the P&As have utilized
the funds and review the P&As activities
carried out for each of the seven
mandated area. These areas include full
participation in the electoral process;
education, training and assistance;
advocacy and education around HAVA
implementation efforts; training and
education of election officials, poll
workers and election volunteers
regarding the rights of voters with
disabilities and best practices;
assistance in filing complaints;

assistance on voting issues. The PAVA
annual narrative report will also provide
an overview of the goals and
accomplishments for each P&A as well
as permit the Administration on
Intellectual and Developmental
Disabilities (AIDD) to track voting
progress to monitor grant activities and
create the bi-annual report to Congress.
ACL estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows: 55
Protection and Advocacy Systems (P&A)
respond annually which should be an
average burden of 20 hours per State per
year or a total of 1,100 hours for all
states annually.
