SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: On-line 

Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) 

Complaint Form. 

OMB Number: 3014–NEW. 

Expiration Date of Approval: Not 

applicable. 

Type of Request: New information 

collection. 

Abstract: The Architectural and 

Transportation Barriers Compliance 

Board (Access Board) is seeking to make 

the process for submitting complaints 

under the Architectural Barriers Act 

(ABA) easier to use, more efficient, and 

timely. Complainants will be able to 

submit a complaint on-line using a 

standardized web-based complaint form 

which will prompt them to provide 

pertinent data necessary for the Access 

Board to investigate an ABA complaint. 

You may view the electronic data 

collection instrument on-line at http:// 

cts.access-board.gov/formsiq/

form.do?formset_id=2&ds=fdd&

reload=true or obtain a copy of the 

instrument from Ms. Fairhall. 

Use of the Information 

The Access Board enforces the ABA 

by investigating complaints submitted 

by members of the public concerning 

particular buildings or facilities 

designed, altered, or built, by or on 

behalf of, or leased by, federal agencies, 

or financed by federal funds. 

Complaints can currently be submitted 

by email, mail or fax. The proposed online complaint form will allow 

complainants to submit ABA 

complaints electronically and receive 

notification that their complaint has 

been received, together with the 

complaint number for them to use when 

making inquiries about the status of 

their complaint. The Access Board is 

not requiring all complaints to be 

submitted using the on-line complaint 

form; the Access Board will continue to 

accept complaints submitted by email, 

mail, or fax. 

Complainants must submit in writing 

the name and address of the building or 

facility and a brief description of each 

barrier to accessibility they have found 

at the building or facility. Additional 

information about the facility, such as 

when it was built or known sources of 

federal funding, is helpful but not 

necessary. Personal information, 

including the complainant’s name, 

address, phone number and email 

address is optional and, where 

provided, is not disclosed without 

written permission from the 

complainant. The new on-line 

complaint form will prompt 

complainants to provide the information 

necessary for Access Board staff to 

initiate an investigation into a 

complaint. In addition, complainants 

will be able to attach electronic files 

containing pictures, drawings, or other 

relevant documents to the on-line 

complaint form when it is filed. The 

Access Board anticipates that use of the 

on-line complaint form will improve the 

completeness of the information 

included in complaints that are 

submitted for investigation, and this 

will expedite processing of complaints. 

In addition, complainants will be able to 

submit complaints 24 hours a day, 

seven days a week and receive 

electronic notification that their 

complaint has been received. 

Estimate of Burden 

Public reporting burden for this 

collection of information is estimated to 

average less than 30 minutes to 

complete the on-line complaint form, 

depending on the number of alleged 

barriers the complainant identifies. 

There is no financial burden on the 

complainant. Use of the on-line form 

should relieve much of the burden that 

the current practice of mailing paper 

complaints puts on complainants. The 

Access Board is not requiring all 

complaints to be submitted using the 

on-line complaint. The Access Board 

will continue to accept complaints 

submitted by email, mail, or fax. 

Respondents 

Individuals. Approximately 200 

individuals file accessibility complaints 

with the Access Board each year. 

Estimated Number of Responses 

Assuming all complainants choose to 

file complaints using the on-line 

complaint form, approximately 200

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 243 / Tuesday, December 18, 2012 / Notices 74827 

individuals would use the on-line 

complaint form annually. 

Frequency of Responses 

Complainants need only submit one 

on-line form for each building or facility 

at which they have found accessibility 

barriers, regardless of the number of 

barriers they found. Most complainants 

file only one ABA complaint. 

Complainants will need to submit a 

separate form for each additional 

building or facility at which they have 

found an accessibility barrier. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents 

Approximately 30 minutes per 

respondent total time is all that will be 

needed to complete the on-line 

complaint form, for a total of 100 hours 

annually. 

Comments 

Comments are invited on (a) whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden of the proposed 

collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information from respondents; 

and (d) ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 9, 

2012, the President signed into law the 

Food and Drug Administration Safety 

and Innovation Act (Pub. L. 112–144, 

126 Stat. 993). Section 904 of the Act 

authorizes the Access Board to convene 

a stakeholder working group to develop 

best practices for making information on 

prescription drug container labels 

accessible to people who are blind or 

visually impaired. See 29 U.S.C. 792 

note. The Act exempts the working 

group from the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act. The Board has formed 

an 18-member working group with 

equal representation from national 

organizations representing blind and 

visually-impaired individuals, the 

elderly, and industry groups 

representing retail, mail order, and 

independent community pharmacies to 

develop best practices for pharmacies 

on providing independent access to 

prescription drug container labels. The 

working group will explore various 

alternatives, including braille, large 

print labels, and various auditory 

technologies such as ‘‘talking bottles’’ 

and radio frequency identification tags.
