SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Study for Meaningful Access 

Determination. 

OMB Control Number: NEW. 

Abstract: A court order was issued in 

American Council of the Blind v. 

Paulson, 591 F. Supp. 2d 1 (D.D.C. 

2008) (‘‘ACB v. Paulson’’) requiring the 

Department of the Treasury and BEP to 

‘‘provide meaningful access to United 

States currency for blind and other 

visually impaired persons, which steps 

shall be completed, in connection with 

each denomination of currency, not 

later than the date when a redesign of 

that denomination is next approved by 

the Secretary of the Treasury . . . .’’ 

In compliance with the court’s order, 

BEP intends to meet with blind and 

visually impaired persons and request 

their feedback about tactile features that 

BEP is considering for possible 

incorporation into the next U.S. paper 

currency redesign. 

The BEP intends to contract with a 

specialist in the field of tactile acuity to 

conduct scientific tests. The specialist 

contracted with by the BEP will conduct 

acuity testing with select groups of 

blind and visually impaired volunteers. 

The acuity tests will help either confirm 

or provide other perspectives on the 

results of BEP’s information collections 

at national conferences and 

conventions. The acuity tests will also 

help provide a scientific basis on which 

BEP determines the tactile feature to be 

incorporated into the next United States 

paper currency design. 

Type of Review: New Collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals, 

Organizations. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

The study or studies will likely 

involve up to 500 subjects. Each 

individual data collection session will 

be approximately 90 minutes long. 

Estimated Average Time per 

Respondent: 90 minutes per response. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: Approximately 750 burden 

hours. 

Request for Comments: Comments 

submitted in response to this notice will 

be summarized and/or included in the 

request for Office of Management and 

Budget approval. All comments will 

become a matter of public record. The 

public is invited to submit written 

comments concerning: (a) Whether the 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Bureau, including 

whether the information will have 

practical uses; (b) the accuracy of the

proposed information collection; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, usefulness, 

and clarity of the information to be
