17054 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 61 / Tuesday, March 31, 2015 / Notices 

public submit reports, keep records, or 

provide information to a third party. 

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal 

agencies to provide a 60-day notice in 

the Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension of an 

existing collection of information, 

before submitting the collection to OMB 

for approval. To comply with this 

requirement, ACL is publishing notice 

of the proposed collection of 

information set forth in this document. 

With respect to the following collection 

of information, ACL invites comments 

on: (1) Whether the proposed collection 

of information is necessary for the 

proper performance of ACL’s functions, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

ACL’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

when appropriate, and other forms of 

information technology. 

The Protection and Advocacy Voting 

Access Annual Narrative Report from 

the Protection and Advocacy Systems is 

required by federal statute and 

regulation, the Help America Vote Act 

(HAVA), Public Law 107–252, title II, 

subtitle D, section 291, Payments for 

Protection and Advocacy to Assure 

Access for Individuals with Disabilities 

(42 U.S.C. 15461). The report is 

provided in writing to the 

Administration for Community Living, 

Administration on Intellectual and 

Developmental Disabilities (AIDD). Each 

eligible Protection and Advocacy 

System (P&As) must prepare and submit 

an annual report at the end of every 

fiscal year by the 31st of December. The 

report addresses the activities 

conducted with the funds provided 

during the year. The information 

collected from the annual report will be 

aggregated into an annual profile of how 

the P&As have utilized the funds and 

review the P&As activities carried out 

for each of the seven mandated area. 

These areas include full participation in 

the electoral process; education, training 

and assistance; advocacy and education 

around HAVA implementation efforts; 

training and education of election 

officials, poll workers and election 

volunteers regarding the rights of voters 

with disabilities and best practices; 

assistance in filing complaints; 

assistance to State and other 

governmental entities regarding the 

physical accessibility of polling places; 

and obtaining training and technical 

assistance on voting issues. The PAVA 

annual narrative report will also provide 

an overview of the goals and 

accomplishments for each P&A as well 

as permit the Administration on 

Intellectual and Developmental 

Disabilities (AIDD) to track voting 

progress to monitor grant activities and 

create the bi-annual report to Congress. 

ACL estimates the burden of this 

collection of information as follows: 55 

Protection and Advocacy Systems (P&A) 

respond annually which should be an 

average burden of 20 hours per State per 

year or a total of 1,100 hours for all 

states annually.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal 

Agencies must obtain approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor. 

‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined 

in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 

1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests 

or requirements that members of the 

public submit reports, keep records, or 

provide information to a third party. 

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal 

Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in 

the Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension of an 

existing collection of information, 

before submitting the collection to OMB 

for approval. To comply with this 

requirement, we are publishing this 

notice of the proposed collection of 

information set forth in this document. 

With respect to the following 

collection of information, we invite 

comments on these topics: (1) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of our functions, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) the accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques, 

when appropriate, and other forms of 

information technology. 

Irradiation in the Production, 

Processing, and Handling of Food—21 

CFR Part 179 (OMB Control Number 

0910–0186)—Extension 

Under sections 201(s) and 409 of the 

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 

(the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 321(s) and 

348), food irradiation is subject to 

regulation under the food additive 

premarket approval provisions of the 

FD&C Act. The regulations providing for 

uses of irradiation in the production, 

processing, and handling of food are 

found in part 179 (21 CFR part 179). To 

ensure safe use of a radiation source, 

§ 179.21(b)(1) requires that the label of 

sources bear appropriate and accurate 

information identifying the source of 

radiation and the maximum (or 

minimum and maximum) energy of the 

emitted radiation. Section 179.21(b)(2) 

requires that the label or accompanying 

labeling bear adequate directions for 

installation and use and a statement 

supplied by us that indicates maximum 

dose of radiation allowed. Section 

179.26(c) requires that the label or 

accompanying labeling bear a logo and 

a radiation disclosure statement. Section 

179.25(e) requires that food processors 

who treat food with radiation make and 

retain, for 1 year past the expected shelf 

life of the products up to a maximum of 

3 years, specified records relating to the 

irradiation process (e.g., the food 

treated, lot identification, scheduled 

process, etc.). The records required by 

§ 179.25(e) are used by our inspectors to 

assess compliance with the regulation 

that establishes limits within which 

radiation may be safely used to treat 

food. We cannot ensure safe use without 

a method to assess compliance with the 

dose limits, and there are no practicable 

methods for analyzing most foods to 

determine whether they have been 

treated with ionizing radiation and are 

within the limitations set forth in part 

179. Records inspection is the only way 

to determine whether firms are 

complying with the regulations for 

treatment of foods with ionizing 

radiation. 

Description of respondents: 

Respondents are businesses engaged in 

the irradiation of food. 

We estimate the burden of this 

collection of information as follows:
