SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: EAC Voting System Testing and 

Certification Program Manual. 

OMB Number: 3265–0004. 

Type of Review: Extension with 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Needs and Uses: HAVA requires that 

the EAC certify and decertify voting 

systems (42 U.S.C. 15371). Section 

231(a)(1) of HAVA specifically requires 

the EAC to ‘‘* * * provide for the 

certification, decertification and 

recertification of voting system 

hardware and software by accredited 

laboratories.’’ The EAC will perform this 

mandated function through the use of 

its Voting System Testing and 

Certification Program. Voting systems 

certified by the EAC will be used by 

citizens to cast votes in Federal 

Elections. Therefore, it is paramount 

that the program operates in a reliable 

and effective manner. In order to certify 

a voting system, it is necessary for the 

EAC to (1) Require voting system 

manufacturers to submit information 

about their organization and the voting 

systems they submit for testing and 

certification; (2) require voting system 

manufacturers to retain voting system 

technical and test records; and (3) to 

provide a mechanism for election 

officials to report events which may 

effect a voting system’s certification. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit institutions and state and local 

election officials. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 94 

annually. 

Total Annual Responses: 99 annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 119 hours.

SUMMARY: The Technical Guidelines 

Development Committee (the 

‘‘Development Committee’’) was 

established to act in the public interest 

to assist the Executive Director of the 

U.S. Election Assistance Commission 

(EAC) in the development of voluntary 

voting system guidelines. The 

Committee held their first plenary 

meeting on July 9, 2004. At this 

meeting, the Development Committee 

agreed to a resolution forming three 

working groups: (1) Human Factors & 

Privacy; (2) Security & Transparency; 

and (3) Core Requirements & Testing to 

gather and analyze information on 

relevant issues. These working 

subcommittees propose resolutions to 

the TGDC on best practices, 

specifications and standards. 

Specifically, NIST staff and Committee 

members will meet via the above 

scheduled teleconferences to review and 

discuss progress on tasks defined in 

resolutions passed at Development 

Committee plenary meetings. The 

resolutions define technical work tasks 

for NIST that will assist the Committee 

in developing recommendations for 

voluntary voting system guidelines. The 

Committee met in its eighth plenary 

session on March 22–23, 2007. 

Documents and transcriptions of 

Committee proceedings are available at: 

http://vote.nist.gov/ 

PublicHearingsandMeeting.html. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Technical Guidelines Development 

Committee (the ‘‘Development 

Committee’’) was established pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. 15361, to act in the public 

interest to assist the Executive Director 

of the Election Assistance Commission 

in the development of the voluntary 

voting system guidelines. The 

information gathered and analyzed by 

the working subcommittees during their 

teleconference meetings will be 

reviewed at future Development 

Committee plenary meetings.
