In compliance with the court’s order,
BEP intends to meet with blind and

their feedback about tactile features that
BEP is considering for possible
incorporation into the next U.S. paper

attend national conventions and
conferences for disabled persons, as

of tactile acuity to develop a

methodology will be used to continue
this information collection.
Over the next three years, the BEP
anticipates undertaking a variety of new
information collection activities related
to BEP’s continued efforts to provide
meaningful access to U.S. paper
currency for blind and visually
impaired persons. Following standard
OMB requirements, for each information
collection that BEP proposes to
undertake under this generic clearance,
the OMB will be notified at least two
weeks in advance and provided with a
copy of the information collection
instrument along with supportive

a new collection if the OMB does not
object to the BEP’s proposal.
