SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
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
(e.g., contractually-required information
collection by a third-party). ‘‘Collection
of information,’’ within the meaning of
the PRA, includes agency requests that
pose identical questions to, or impose
reporting or recording keeping
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 44 U.S.C.
3502(3). Before seeking clearance from
OMB, agencies are generally required,
among other things, to publish a 60-day
notice in the Federal Register
concerning any proposed information
collection and provide an opportunity
for comment. See 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1).
II. Proposed New Information
Collection Request
The Access Board is providing notice
of its intent to seek approval of a new
information collection regarding
requests for training by members of the
public and state and local governments.
The Access Board provides training and
technical assistance on the guidelines
and standards that it promulgates,
including design criteria for the built
environment, transit vehicles, public
rights-of-way, information and
communication technology, and
medical diagnostic equipment under the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990,
the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968,
and other laws. By practice, the Access
Board provides in-person and virtual
training to organizations across the
United States, to include State and local
agencies. The Access Board receives
email requests for training which
currently result in multiple
communications with the requestor to
determine if the Access Board is able to
