SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA and its implementing 
regulations (5 CFR part 1320), 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,'' 
within the meaning of the PRA, includes agency requests that pose

obligations on, ten or more persons, regardless of whether response to 
such request is mandatory or voluntary. See 5 CFR 1320.3(c); see also

of 1968 (ABA) by investigating complaints from members of the public 
concerning particular buildings or facilities, i.e., those that are: 
constructed or altered by or on behalf of the United States; leased 
with Federal funds; or constructed or altered with funds from a Federal 
grant or loan. Over 90% of complaints the Access Board receives each 
year are submitted using the standardized, user-friendly, and 
accessible Online ABA Complaint Form; the remainder are submitted in 
writing, without the need to use a hard-copy complaint form, by email, 
mail, or fax. The Online ABA Complaint Form allows complaints to be 
filed 24 hours per day, seven days per week, and allows for greater 
efficiency, clarity, and timeliness in the complaint filing process and 
resolution of complaints.
    The Online ABA Complaint Form prompts complainants to provide the 
information the Access Board needs to investigate their complaint. 
First, complainants must complete the form fields for at least the name 
of the building or facility and the city and state in which it is 
located. Second, complainants must describe each barrier to 
accessibility they have found at the building or facility. Third, 
complainants are given the option, but are not required, to provide 
personal information, including their name, address, telephone 
number(s), and email address. Where provided, personal information is 
not disclosed outside the agency without the written permission of the 
complainant. Complainants are also given the option to upload 
electronic files containing pictures, drawings, or other documents 
relevant to their complaint. Once any additional information and the 
complaint is submitted, the system provides complainants confirmation 
that their complaint has been submitted successfully, a complaint 
number for them to use when making inquiries about the status of their 
complaint, and an option to print their complaint. Complainants also 
receive an automatically generated email (if they have provided an 
email address) confirming the submission of their complaint.
    Description of Respondents: Individual members of the public.
    Estimated Total Annual Number of Responses: Approximately 200 
individuals submit complaints using the Online ABA Complaint Form each 
year.

accessibility barriers, regardless of the number of barriers 
encountered.

per online complaint; the time burden may vary depending on the number 
of accessibility barriers identified in a complaint. There is no 
financial burden on respondents.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: Approximately 100 hours 
annually.
    Request for Comment: Comments are again invited on: (a) whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for performance of the 
Access Board's work; (b) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways 
for the Access Board to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information collection; and (d) ways that the burden could be 
minimized without reducing the quality of the collected information. If
