3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand the 

Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. ED is 

soliciting comments on the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) that 

is described below. The Department of 

Education is especially interested in 

public comment addressing the 

following issues: (1) Is this collection 

necessary to the proper functions of the 

Department; (2) will this information be 

processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 

(4) how might the Department enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (5) how 

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including through the use 

of information technology. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records. 

Title of Collection: Cancer Treatment 

Deferment. 

OMB Control Number: 1845–0154. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or Households . 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 5,000. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 833. 

Abstract: The Department of 

Education (Department) is requesting an 

extension of the current Cancer 

Treatment Deferment Form information 

collection, OMB Control Number 1845– 

0154. This collection is used to obtain 

information from federal student loan 

borrowers to determine eligibility for a 

deferment of repayment of their federal 

student loan while receiving cancer 

treatment and for the 6-month period 

after such treatment. Section 309 of the 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019, 

(Pub. L. 115–245) included a provision 

for the Department to implement this 

circumstance as a basis for deferment. 

Due to the effects of the COVID–19 

pandemic and the suspension of the 

collection of loans, the Department 

lacks sufficient data to allow for updates 

to the usage of these forms.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title and OMB Number 

Voting System Anomaly Reporting 

and Root Cause Analysis; OMB Number 

Pending. 

Purpose 

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 

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, the EAC 

is publishing notice of the proposed 

collection of information set forth in 

this document. 

HAVA requires that the EAC certify 

and decertify voting systems. Section 

231(a)(1) of HAVA (52 U.S.C. 20971) 

specifically requires the EAC to 

‘‘provide for the testing, certification, 

decertification and recertification of 

voting system hardware and software by 

accredited laboratories.’’ To meet this 

obligation, the EAC has created a 

voluntary testing and certification 

program to test voting systems to federal 

voting system standards. 

The program is to publish two forms. 

These are to be used to collect 

information concerning anomalies in 

voting systems used in federal elections. 

These forms will collect initial anomaly 

information as reported by voting 

system manufacturers and election 

officials. Root cause analysis of the 

anomalies, test results and findings will 

also be collected. This information is 

collected to improve the quality of 

voting systems used in federal elections. 

Public Comments 

We are soliciting public comments to 

permit the EAC to: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

information collection is necessary for 

the proper functions of the Office of 

Grants Management. 

• Evaluate the accuracy of our 

estimate of burden for this proposed 

collection, including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used. 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

• Minimize the reporting burden on 

those who are to respond, including the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

Please note that comments submitted 

in response to this Notice are public 

record. Before including any detailed 

personal information, you should be 

aware that your comments as submitted, 

including your personal information, 

will be available for public review.

years. 

Respondents: State and Local Election 

Officials and Voting System 

Manufacturers.

Estimated Burden in hours—165 

hours.
