Root Cause Analysis; OMB Numbers 

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

1Fast neutrons are highly energetic neutrons 

(ranging from 0.1 to 10 million electron volts [MeV] 

and travelling at speeds of thousands to tens of 

thousands kilometers per second) emitted during 

fission. The fast-neutron spectrum refers to the 

range of energies associated with fast neutrons. By 

contrast, thermal neutrons, such as those typically 

associated in a commercial light-water reactor, are 

neutrons that are less energetic than fast neutrons 

(more than a million times less energetic [about 

0.25eV] and travelling at speeds of less than 5 

kilometers per second), having been slowed by 

collisions with other materials such as water. The 

thermal neutron spectrum refers to the range of 

energies associated with thermal neutrons. 

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 four forms. 

These are to be used to collect key 

information concerning voting system 

manufacturers and their systems, as 

well as information regarding anomalies 

in voting systems used in federal 

elections. These forms will collect: 

• The voting system manufacturer 

registration form collects information on 

the ownership, contact details for 

certain directors and senior staff, and 

the quality processes for manufacturers 

who wish to participate in the EAC’s 

Testing and Certification program. 

• The voting system application 

collects administrative information on 

new or modified voting systems that are 

being submitted for testing by a 

registered voting system manufacturer. 

• The voting system anomaly report 

will collect initial anomaly information 

as reported by voting system 

manufacturers and election officials. 

• The root cause analysis form 

collects information on voting system 

anomalies, test results, and findings. 

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 EAC’s 

Testing and Certification Division. 

• 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. 

Respondents: State and Local Election 

Officials and Voting System 

Manufacturers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Part of the DOE mission is to ensure 

America’s security and prosperity by 

addressing its energy, environmental, 

and nuclear challenges through 

transformative science and technology 

solutions. Many commercial 

organizations and universities are 

pursuing advanced nuclear energy fuels, 

materials, and reactor designs that 

complement the efforts of DOE and its 

laboratories in advancing nuclear 

energy. These designs include thermal 

and fast-spectrum 1 reactors targeting 

improved fuel resource utilization and 

waste management and utilizing 

materials other than water for cooling. 

Development of these designs requires 

adequate infrastructure for 

experimentation, testing, design 

evolution, and component qualification. 

Existing irradiation test capabilities are 

aging and some are over 50 years old. 

The existing capabilities are focused on 

testing of materials, fuels, and 

components in the thermal neutron 

spectrum and do not have the ability to 

support the needs of fast reactor 

researchers. Only limited fast-neutronspectrum-testing capabilities, with 

restricted availability, exist outside the 

United States. To meet its obligation to 

support advanced reactor technology 

development, DOE needs to develop the 

capability for large-scale testing, 

accelerated testing, and qualification of 

advanced nuclear fuels, materials, 

instrumentation, and sensors. This 

testing capability is essential for the 

United States to modernize its nuclear
