ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to sections 

254(a)(11)(A) and 255(b) of the Help 

America Vote Act (HAVA), Public Law 

107–252, the U.S. Election Assistance 

Commission (EAC) hereby causes to be 

published in the Federal Register

material changes to HAVA State plans 

previously submitted by Arkansas, 

Illinois, Nebraska and North Dakota.

DATES: This notice is effective upon 

publication in the Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Submit Comments: Any comments 

regarding the plans published herewith 

should be made in writing to the chief 

election official of the individual States 

at the address listed below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 

24, 2004, the U.S. Election Assistance 

Commission published in the Federal 

Register the original HAVA State plans 

filed by the 50 States, the District of 

Columbia and the Territories of 

American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, 

and the U.S. Virgin Islands. 69 FR 

14002. HAVA anticipated that States, 

Territories and the District of Columbia 

would change or update their plans 

from time to time pursuant to HAVA 

section 254 (a)(11) through (13). HAVA 

sections 254(a)(11)(A) and 255 require 

EAC to publish such updates. 

The submissions from Arkansas, 

Illinois, Nebraska and North Dakota 

address material changes to the original 

State plans and, in accordance with 

HAVA section 254(a)(12), provide 

information on how the State succeeded 

in carrying out the previous State plan. 

Arkansas has received its 2003 and 2004 

HAVA requirements payments, but is 

submitting updates to its previous State 

plan, primarily to address a change in 

the State’s plans for procuring HAVA 

compliant voting systems. Illinois and 

North Dakota are submitting material 

changes to their previous State plans 

that address, among other matters, the 

expected 2004 HAVA requirements 

payments, which is a prerequisite to 

receiving these funds. (Illinois’

certification for its 2003 requirements 

payment is pending; North Dakota has 

received its 2003 requirements 

payment.) Nebraska has received its 

2003 HAVA requirements payment but 

is submitting material changes, among 

which are those addressing the 

increased amount of the 2004 

requirements payment expected by the 

State and an increase in the amount set 

aside by the State for the 5% match, 

required by HAVA section 253(b)(5) to 

receive such funds. 

Upon the expiration of 30 days from 

December 22, 2004, the States whose 

plans are published herein will be 

eligible to implement any material 

changes addressed therein, in 

accordance with HAVA section 

254(a)(11)(C). At that time, in 

accordance with HAVA section 253(d), 

Illinois and North Dakota also may file 

a statement of certification to obtain the 

fiscal year 2004 requirements payments 

for which the States did not previously 

qualify under HAVA section 253(b)(1) 

and Nebraska may also file a statement 

of certification to obtain its fiscal year 

2004 payment for which it did not 

previously qualify under HAVA section 

253(b)(5). These statements of 

certification must confirm that the 

jurisdiction is in compliance with all of 

the requirements referred to in HAVA 

section 253(b) and must be provided to 

the Election Assistance Commission in 

order for the State to receive a 

requirements payment under HAVA 

Title II, Subtitle D. 

EAC notes that plans published 

herein include only those that have 

already met the notice and comment 

requirements of HAVA section 256, as 

required by HAVA section 254(a)(11)(B). 

EAC wishes to acknowledge the effort 

that went into the revising the State 

plans and encourages further public 

comment, in writing, to the chief 

election official of the individual States 

at the address listed below.
