SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal

public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third 
party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) 
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, ACL is publishing notice of the proposed collection 
of information set forth in this document. With respect to the 
following collection of information, ACL invites comments on: (1) 
Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of ACL's functions, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of ACL's 
estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, 
including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including through the use of automated 
collection techniques when appropriate, and other forms of information 
technology.
    The Protection and Advocacy Voting Access Annual Narrative Report 
from the Protection and Advocacy Systems is required by federal statute 
and regulation, the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), Public Law 107-252, 
title II, subtitle D, section 291, Payments for Protection and Advocacy 
to Assure Access for Individuals with Disabilities (42 U.S.C. 15461). 
The report is provided in writing to the Administration for Community 
Living, Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities 
(AIDD). Each eligible Protection and Advocacy System (P&As) must 
prepare and submit an annual report at the end of every fiscal year by 
the 31st of December. The report addresses the activities conducted 
with the funds provided during the year. The information collected from 
the annual report will be aggregated into an annual profile of how the 
P&As have utilized the funds and review the P&As activities carried out 
for each of the seven mandated area. These areas include full 
participation in the electoral process; education, training and 
assistance; advocacy and education around HAVA implementation efforts; 
training and education of election officials, poll workers and election 
volunteers regarding the rights of voters with disabilities and best 
practices; assistance in filing complaints; assistance to State and 
other governmental entities regarding the physical accessibility of 
polling places; and obtaining training and technical assistance on 
voting issues. The PAVA annual narrative report will also provide an 
overview of the goals and accomplishments for each P&A as well as 
permit the Administration on Intellectual and Developmental 
Disabilities (AIDD) to track voting progress to monitor grant 
activities and create the bi-annual report to Congress.
    ACL estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows: 55 Protection and Advocacy Systems (P&A) respond annually 
which should be an average burden of 20 hours per State per year or a 
total of 1,100 hours for all states annually.

    Dated: March 25, 2015.

Administrator and Assistant Secretary for Aging.
