industry and the U.S. exporting 

community, as well as experts from 

academia and public policy 

organizations.

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, NIST

Access to Voting,1 the right to vote is the 

foundation of American democracy.

people with disabilities. 

This RFI outlines the information 

NIST is seeking from the public to 

inform the development of 

recommendations regarding both the 

Federal Voter Registration Form and 

other barriers it has identified that 

prevent people with disabilities from 

exercising their fundamental rights and 

the ability to vote privately and 

independently. 

Request for Information 

The following statements are not 

intended to limit the topics that may be 

addressed. Responses may include any 

topic believed to have implications for 

the development of recommendations to 

promoting access to voting for people 

with disabilities, regardless of whether 

the topic is included in this document. 

All relevant responses that comply with 

the requirements listed in the DATES and 

ADDRESSES sections of this RFI and set 

forth below will be considered. 

Comments containing references, 

studies, research, and other empirical

submit confidential business 

information, or otherwise sensitive or 

protected information. Comments that 

contain profanity, vulgarity, threats, or 

other inappropriate language or content 

will not be considered. NIST requests

ability, only submit attachments that are 

accessible to people who rely upon 

assistive technology. A good resource 

for document accessibility can be found 

at: section508.gov/create/documents. 

NIST is seeking the following 

information from voting technology 

vendors, election officials, persons with 

disabilities, disability advocacy groups, 

assistive technology vendors and 

professionals, non-partisan voting 

promotion groups, and other key 

stakeholders for the purpose of 

gathering information to foster greater 

voter access for people with disabilities: 

1. Describe concerns regarding 

accessing the right to vote privately and 

independently for people with 

disabilities.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration 

[RTID 0648–XB127] 

Fishing Capacity Reduction Program 

for the Southeast Alaska Purse Seine 

Salmon Fishery 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration, 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice that the 2021 season fee 

rates will not change. 

SUMMARY: NMFS performs an annual 

evaluation of the Southeast Alaska 

Purse Seine Salmon Fishing Capacity 

Reduction (Buyback) Loans. Our 

analysis reveals Loan A (or BBSA– 

001A) is currently ahead of schedule 

and Loan B (or BBSA–001B) is 2 years, 

or approximately $410,000, behind its 

scheduled amortization. Due to the 

impact of the Covid–19 pandemic, 

NMFS has determined it is in the best 

interest of the fishery to keep the annual 

Buyback fee rates for both Loan A and 

Loan B at 1 percent for 2021. 

Maintaining the current fee rates will 

minimally impact Loan A and Loan B 

will receive approximately $30,000 

more than the scheduled annual 

amortized amount. The 2021 fishing 

season runs from June 1, 2021 through 

December 31, 2021.
