The TGDC unanimously approved to
recommend VVSG 2.0 Requirements on
February 7, 2020, and sent the
Requirements to the EAC Acting
Executive Director via the Director of
the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST), in the capacity of
the Chair of the TGDC on March 9,
2020. Upon adoption, the VVSG 2.0
would become the fifth iteration of
national level voting system standards.
The Federal Election Commission
published the first two sets of federal
standards in 1990 and 2002. The EAC
then adopted Version 1.0 of the VVSG
on December 13, 2005. In an effort to
update and improve version 1.0 of the
VVSG, on March 31, 2015, the EAC
commissioners unanimously approved
VVSG 1.1.
The full agenda will be posted in
advance on the EAC website: https://
www.eac.gov.
Status: This hearing will be open to
the public.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Purpose of the Workshop
Over the past decade, federal and
private investments in the scaling-up of
integrated biorefineries have exceeded
$2 billion. A majority of these facilities
have either been shut down or are
struggling to have reliable and
continuous operations. Furthermore,
mathematical models representing the
total system of an integrated biorefinery
do not exist currently. Through the use
of highly instrumented bench-, pilot-,

and demonstration-scaled facilities
along with high performance
computing, artificial intelligence, and
machine learning it may be possible to
reduce technology uncertainty and
accelerate scale-up. The purpose of this
workshop is to understand how
modeling tools can be effectively
utilized in conjunction with operational
data to augment and accelerate scale-up
and integration efforts.

Extension
U.S. Energy Information
Administration (EIA), U.S. Department
of Energy (DOE).
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
DOE submitted an
information collection request for
extension as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. The information
collection requests a three-year
extension of DOE’s Form FE–746R,
Import and Export of Natural Gas under
OMB Control Number 1901–0294. Form
FE–746R collects information from
import and export authorization holders
that enables DOE’s Office of Fossil
Energy (FE) to monitor natural gas trade
under the United States Mexico Canada
Agreement (USMCA) and other trade
activity falling outside the parameters of
USMCA, and supports various market
and regulatory analyses done by FE.
DATES: Comments on this information
collection must be received no later
than July 6, 2020. Written comments
and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to https://www.reginfo.gov/
public/do/PRAMain. Find this
particular information collection by
selecting ‘‘Currently under 30-day
Review—Open for Public Comments’’ or
by using the search function. Send a
copy of your comment to DOE by email
to: marc.talbert@hq.doe.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Request for additional information or
copies of the forms and instructions
should be directed to Mr. Marc Talbert
at (202) 586–7991, or by email
marc.talbert@hq.doe.gov. The forms are
available online at https://
www.energy.gov/fe/articles/changes-fe746-data-collection. Additional
information is available at https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection request contains:

(1) OMB No.: 1901–0294;
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: Natural Gas Import and Export
Data Submissions;
(3) Type of Request: Three-year
extension with changes;
(4) Purpose: DOE’s Office of Fossil
Energy (FE) has the delegated authority
to regulate natural gas imports and
exports under section 3 of the Natural
Gas Act of 1938, 15 U.S.C. 717b. To
carry out its delegated responsibility, FE
requires individuals seeking to import
or export natural gas to file an
application providing basic information
on the scope and nature of the import/
export activity. Once an importer or
exporter receives authorization from FE,
they are required to submit monthly
reports of their natural gas import and
export transactions on Form FE–746R.
In addition, a subset of authorization
holders—including those that hold longterm import authorizations from any
source, long-term export authorizations
to both countries that do and do not
have a free trade agreement with the
United States requiring national
treatment of natural gas and with which
trade is not prohibited by U.S. law or
policy (FTA and non-FTA countries),
and short-term authorizations to export
to non-FTA countries—must file
additional information beyond the
required filings on FE–746R. This
additional information, including
supply and delivery contracts, changes
in control or ownership, and semiannual reports that provide information
on the status of the relevant proposed or
existing LNG export facilities, provides
input DOE needs to assess both the state
of the U.S. import and export markets
and the adequacy of energy resources to
meet near and long term domestic
demands. This information also assists
FE in determining whether
authorization holders are complying
with the terms and conditions of their
authorization.
Together with the data reported on
FE–746R and the additional information
required for certain types of
authorization holders outlined above,
DOE is able to perform market and
regulatory analyses to improve the
capability of industry and the
government to respond to any future
energy-related supply problems, and to
keep the general public informed on
international natural gas trade.
(4a) Proposed Changes to Information
Collection: FE seeks to include
supplementary data reporting items
under OMB Control Number 1901–0294.
FE proposes to collect this additional
information from both long-term import
and export authorization holders that
have authority to import or export to
