Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Protection and Advocacy (P&A) Voting Access Application and 
Annual Report.
    OMB No.: 0970-0326.
    Description: This is a revision to include the application for the 
previously cleared Help America Vote Act (HAVA) Annual report.
    An application is required by Federal statute (the Help America 
Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002, Public Law 107-252, Section 291, Payments for 
Protection and Advocacy Systems, 42 U.S.C. 15461). Each State 
Protection & Advocacy (P&A) System must prepare an application in 
accordance with the program announcement. There is no application kit; 
the P&As application may be in the format of its choice. It must, 
however, be signed by the P&As Executive Director or the designated 
representative, and contain the assurances as outlined under Part I. C. 
Use of Funds. The P&As designated representatives may signify their 
agreement with the conditions/assurances by signing and returning the 
assurance document Attachment B, found in Part IV of this Instruction. 
The assurance document signed by the Executive Director of the P&A, or 
other designated person, should be submitted with the application to 
the Administration on Developmental Disabilities.
    An annual report is required by Federal statute (the Help America 
Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002, Public Law 107-252, Section 291, Payments for 
Protection and Advocacy Systems, 42 U.S.C. 15461). Each State 
Protection & Advocacy (P&A) System must prepare and submit an annual 
report at the end of every fiscal year. The report addresses the 
activities conducted with the funds provided during the year. The 
information from the annual report will be aggregated into an annual 
profile of how HAVA funds have been spent. The report will also provide 
an overview of the P&A goals and accomplishments and permit the 
Administration on Developmental Disabilities to track progress to 
monitor grant activities.
    Respondents: Protection & Advocacy Systems--All States, the 
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American 
Samoa, and Guam.
