SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Generic Clearance for Meaningful Access Information Collections. OMB Control Number: 1520–0009. Type of Review: Extension without change. Description: A court order was issued in American Council of the Blind v. Paulson, 591 F. Supp. 2d 1 (D.D.C. 2008) (‘‘ACB v. Paulson’’) requiring the Department of the Treasury and BEP to ‘‘provide meaningful access to United States currency for blind and other visually impaired persons, which steps shall be completed, in connection with each denomination of currency, not later than the date when a redesign of that denomination is next approved by the Secretary of the Treasury . . . .’’ In compliance with the court’s order, BEP intends to meet with blind and visually impaired persons and request their feedback about tactile features that BEP is considering for possible incorporation into the next U.S. paper currency redesign. BEP employees will attend national conventions and conferences for disabled persons, as well as focus groups and other meetings. At those gatherings, BEP employees will invite blind and visually impaired persons to provide feedback about certain tactile features being considered for inclusion in future United States currency paper designs. In the past BEP contracted with specialists in the field of tactile acuity to develop a methodology for collecting the feedback. This same or substantially similar 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:45 Dec 16, 2024 Jkt 265001 materials. The BEP will only undertake a new collection if the OMB does not object to the BEP’s proposal. Form: None. Affected Public: Individuals and households, Businesses and other forprofits, Not-for-profit Institutions. Estimated Number of Respondents: 650. Frequency of Response: On Occasion.

Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Abstract: VA utilizes Form 26–1805 (paper form) and 26–1805–1 (digital form) for lenders to request an appraisal and assign an appraiser (i.e., ‘‘ordering’’ an appraisal), which ultimately provides PO 00000 Frm 00151 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 the appraiser with the authority to be on the property to conduct the appraisal (i.e., an engagement letter). This information collection request seeks to expand this data collection clearance to encompass a modernized, end-to-end appraisal management process. Under this ICR extension, VA will capture information from lenders around when an appraisal has been ordered (current VA Form 26–1805), but will also capture information and workflow associated with the assignment, scheduling, and review of an appraisal by VA or a lender. This process will be consistent with the rest of the mortgage industry, and will align VA’s appraisal process with the industry standard. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
