Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 231 / Thursday, December 2, 2010 / Notices 75187 

to provide information to victims of 

transportation accidents, and/or victims’ 

family members and friends. The 

NTSB’s purpose in proposing to use the 

form is to ensure that the NTSB has 

correct contact information for family 

members and friends of victims and/or 

survivors to whom the Office of 

Transportation Disaster Assistance will 

provide information. The form will 

solicit the following information: (1) 

First and last name of family member, 

friend, or survivor who seeks to receive 

updates; (2) home, cellular, and/or other 

telephone number; (3) e-mail address; 

(4) mailing address; (5) victim’s name 

and description of requestor’s 

relationship to victim; and (6) other 

comments or instructions, if desired. 

The NTSB notes that completion of 

the form is voluntary. In addition, the 

NTSB will accept forms that are only 

partially completed; for example, some 

individuals may not wish to include 

their telephone numbers, but will 

include their e-mail addresses. The 

NTSB accepts all forms that contain any 

type of contact information, as the 

NTSB is committed to providing 

information to and coordinating services 

for family members, friends, and 

survivors of transportation accidents. 

Once a person completes the form, the 

NTSB will add their name to a list of 

individuals whom the NTSB will 

contact to provide information and 

coordinate services. 

The NTSB has carefully reviewed the 

form to ensure that it has used plain, 

coherent, and unambiguous terminology 

in its request for information. The form 

is not duplicative of other agencies’ 

collections of information. The NTSB 

believes this proposed form, given its 

brevity, will impose a minimal burden 

on respondents: the NTSB estimates that 

respondents will spend, at most, 10 

minutes in completing the form. The 

NTSB estimates that approximately 50 

respondents per year will complete the 

form, but notes that this number may 

vary, given the unpredictable nature of 

the frequency of transportation 

accidents.

SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION 

Listening Session Regarding 

Improving the Accessibility of 

Government Information 

AGENCY: U.S. Council of CIOs, SSA. 

ACTION: Notice of meeting. 

On behalf of the Accessibility 

Committee of the U.S. Council of CIOs 

29 U.S.C. 794d. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces a 

listening session being conducted in 

response to a memo dated July 19, 2010, 

from the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) on ‘‘Improving the 

Accessibility of Government 

Information.’’ Section 508 of the 

Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 794d) 

requires Federal agencies to buy and use 

electronic and information technology 

(EIT) that is accessible. The July memo 

directs agencies to take stronger steps 

toward improving the acquisition and 

implementation of accessible 

technology. In order to better 

understand the needs of diverse 

communities and provide better 

solutions, the U.S. Council of CIOs, in 

collaboration with the Chief Acquisition 

Officers Council, the GSA Office of 

Governmentwide Policy and the U.S. 

Access Board, is holding the second in 

a series of listening sessions to engage 

citizens and employees in expressing 

concerns and proposing ideas. Persons 

with disabilities, their advocates, 

technology companies, government 

employees and other interested parties 

are invited to participate. 

DATES: The listening session will be 

held on Tuesday, December 14, 2010, 

from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Standard 

Time (EST). 

Persons wishing to address the panel 

at the listening session can pre-register 

by contacting Emily Koo at (410) 965– 

4472 or Innovate.Accessibility@ssa.gov. 

Pre-registrants will be given priority in 

addressing the panel in Washington, 

DC. Registration will also be available in 

person in Washington, DC on the 

afternoon of the listening session. 

Meeting Location: The listening 

session will be held at the Marvin 

Center at George Washington 

University, 800 21st St., Washington, 

DC, in the Grand Ballroom. 

Accommodations: The listening 

session will have sign language 

interpreters; CART (real time 

captioning) services, Assistive Listening 

Devices (ALDs), microphones and 

materials will be available in Braille, 

large print and electronic formats. The 

Marvin Center is wheelchair accessible. 

Anyone needing other accommodations 

should include a specific request when 

registering in advance. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

mailto: Emily Koo at (410) 965–4472 or 

Innovate.Accessibility@ssa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1998, 

Congress amended the Rehabilitation 

Act of 1973 to require Federal agencies 

to make their electronic and information 

technology (EIT) accessible to people 

with disabilities. Inaccessible 

technology interferes with an ability to 

obtain and use information quickly and 

easily. Section 508 was enacted to 

eliminate barriers in information 

technology, open new opportunities for 

people with disabilities, and encourage 

development of technologies that will 

help achieve these goals. The law 

applies to all Federal agencies when 

they develop, procure, maintain, or use 

electronic and information technology. 

Under Section 508 (29 U.S.C. ‘794 d), 

agencies must give disabled employees 

and members of the public access to 

information that is comparable to access 

available to others. 

Effective implementation of Section 

508 is an essential element of President 

Obama’s principles of open government, 

requiring that all government and data 

be accessible to all citizens. In order for 

the goal of open government to be 

meaningful for persons with disabilities, 

technology must also be accessible, 

including digital content. In July 2010, 

the OMB took steps to assure that the 

Federal government’s progress in 

implementing Section 508 is stronger 

and achieves results more quickly. 

Section 508 requires the GSA to 

provide technical assistance to agencies 

on Section 508 implementation. GSA 

has created a number of tools, available 

at http://www.Section508.gov, to help 

agencies to develop accessible 

requirements, test the acceptance 

process, and share lessons learned and 

best practices. For example: 

• The BuyAccessible Wizard, http:// 

www.buyaccessible.gov, helps build 

compliant requirements and 

solicitations; 

• The Quick Links site, https:// 

app.buyaccessible.gov/baw/ 

KwikLinksMain.jsp, provides prepackaged Section 508 solicitation 

documents; 

• The BuyAccessible Products and 

Services Directory, https:// 

app.buyaccessible.gov/DataCenter/ 

provides a registry of companies and 

accessibility information about their 

offerings; and 

• The Section 508 blog http:// 

buyaccessible.net/blog/ provides a 

venue where stakeholders may share 

ideas and success stories, or engage in 

conversations on improving 

accessibility. 

The OMB has directed that several 

actions be taken to improve 508 

performance: 

• By Mid-January 2011, the GSA 

Office of Governmentwide Policy (OGP) 

will provide updated guidance on 

making government EIT accessible. This 

guidance will build upon existing
