SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title and OMB Number
Voting System Anomaly Reporting
and Root Cause Analysis; OMB Number
Pending.
Purpose
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 requests
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
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, the EAC
is publishing notice of the proposed
collection of information set forth in
this document.
HAVA requires that the EAC certify
and decertify voting systems. Section
231(a)(1) of HAVA (52 U.S.C. 20971)
specifically requires the EAC to
‘‘provide for the testing, certification,
decertification and recertification of
voting system hardware and software by
accredited laboratories.’’ To meet this
obligation, the EAC has created a
voluntary testing and certification
program to test voting systems to federal
voting system standards.
The program is to publish two forms.
These are to be used to collect
information concerning anomalies in
voting systems used in federal elections.
These forms will collect initial anomaly
information as reported by voting
system manufacturers and election
officials. Root cause analysis of the
anomalies, test results and findings will
also be collected. This information is
collected to improve the quality of
voting systems used in federal elections.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
EAC announces an information collection and seeks public comment on the
provisions thereof. The EAC intends to submit this proposed information
collection to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget for
approval. The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is publishing
two information collecting forms for its Voting System Testing and
Certification Program. The information collected is to be used to
improve the quality of voting systems used in federal elections.
Participation in this program is voluntary. The program is mandated by
the Help America Vote Act (HAVA).
DATES: Comments should be submitted by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, May 3, 2022.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information collection by selecting
``Currently under 60-day Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using
the search function.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul Aumayr, Senior Election
Technology Specialist, Testing and Certification Program, Washington,
DC, (301) 563-3919. All requests and submissions should be identified
by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title and OMB Number
Voting System Manufacturer Registration and Application for
Testing; OMB Number Pending.
Purpose
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 requests 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 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, the EAC is
publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth
in this document.
HAVA requires that the EAC certify and decertify voting systems.
Section 231(a)(1) of HAVA (52 U.S.C. 20971) specifically requires the
EAC to ``provide for the testing, certification, decertification and
recertification of voting system hardware and software by accredited
laboratories.'' To meet this obligation, the EAC has created a
voluntary testing and certification program to test voting systems to
federal voting system standards.
The program is to publish two forms. An initial manufacturer
registration form, and a voting system application form. These are to
be used to collect information from voting system manufacturers who
wish to participate in the program and the voting systems they intend
to submit for testing and certification. The registration form collects
information on the manufacturer ownership, contact details for certain
directors and senior staff, and
[[Page 12945]]
the manufacturers quality processes. The voting system application
collects administrative information on new or modified voting systems.
This information is collected to improve the quality of voting systems
used in federal elections.
Public Comments
We are soliciting public comments to permit the EAC to:
Evaluate whether the proposed information collection is
necessary for the proper functions of the Office of Grants Management.
Evaluate the accuracy of our estimate of burden for this
proposed collection, including the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used.
Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected.
Minimize the reporting burden on those who are to respond,
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Please note that comments submitted in response to this Notice are
public record. Before including any detailed personal information, you
should be aware that your comments as submitted, including your
personal information, will be available for public review.
Annual Reporting Burden
OMB approval is requested for 3 years.
Respondents: Voting System Manufacturers.
Annual Burden Estimates
Estimated Burden in hours--12 hours.
Estimated Burden cost--$976.
