SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In this notice, EAC seeks comments 

on the paperwork burdens contained in 

the current version of the Voting System 

Testing and Certification Program 

Manual, Version 1.0 OMB Control 

Number 3265–0004 only. Version 1.0 is 

the original version of the Manual 

without changes or updates. EAC is 

requesting an emergency extension for 

Version 1.0 and will abandon its 

Paperwork Reduction Act request for 

version 2.0 of the Manual at this time. 

When EAC drafted Version 1.0 of the 

Manual in 2006, the agency sought 

input from experts and stakeholders. 

Specifically, EAC conducted meetings 

with representatives from the voting 

system test laboratory and voting system 

manufacturing community. The 

Commission also held a public hearing 

in which it received testimony from 

State election officials, the National 

Institute of Standards and Technology, 

academics, electronic voting system 

experts, public interest groups, and the 

public at large. 

In a notice dated November 30, 2010, 

EAC previously requested comments on 

a proposed new version of the Manual, 

Version 2.0. After EAC published its 

request for comments on Version 2.0, 

the agency lost its quorum. As a result, 

EAC has chosen to postpone 

implementing Version 2.0 of the Manual 

until such time as the Commission has 

a quorum again. At that point, EAC will 

start the Paperwork Reduction Act 

process from the beginning on Version 

2.0 of the Manual. Soliciting comments 

through an emergency extension will 

permit EAC to continue to use the 

Control Number assigned to Version 1.0. 

Current Information Collection 

Request, Version 1.0 

Title: Voting System Testing and 

Certification Program, Version 1.0. 

OMB Number: 3265–0004. 

Type of Review: Emergency 

Extension. 

Needs and Uses: Section 231(a) of the 

Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA), 

42 U.S.C. 15371(a), requires EAC to 

‘‘provide for the testing, certification, 

decertification, and recertification of 

voting system hardware and software by 

accredited laboratories.’’ To fulfill this 

mandate, EAC has developed and 

implemented the Voting System Testing 

and Certification Program Manual, 

Version 1.0. This version is currently in 

use under OMB Control Number 3265– 

0004. EAC had hoped to finalize a 

revised Manual prior to the expiration 

of the current manual’s control number. 

However, due to lack of a quorum, EAC 

will continue using the existing manual, 

version 1.0, necessitating this action. 

Although participation in the program is 

voluntary, adherence to the program’s 

procedural requirements is mandatory 

for participants. 

Affected Public: Voting system 

manufacturers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 8. 

Total Annual Responses: 8. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 200 hours.
