SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for Meaningful Access Information
Collections.
OMB Control Number: 1520-0009.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Description: A court order was issued in American Council of the
Blind v. Paulson, 591 F. Supp. 2d 1 (D.D.C. 2008) (``ACB v. Paulson'')
requiring the Department of the Treasury and BEP to ``provide
meaningful access to United States currency for blind and other
visually impaired persons, which steps shall be completed, in
connection with each denomination of currency, not later than the date
when a redesign of that denomination is next approved by the Secretary
of the Treasury . . . .''
In compliance with the court's order, BEP intends to meet with
blind and visually impaired persons and request their feedback about
tactile features that BEP is considering for possible incorporation
into the next U.S. paper currency redesign. BEP employees will attend
national conventions and conferences for disabled persons, as well as
focus groups and other meetings. At those gatherings, BEP employees
will invite blind and visually impaired persons to provide feedback
about certain tactile features being considered for inclusion in future
United States currency paper designs. In the past BEP contracted with
specialists in the field of tactile acuity to develop a methodology for
collecting the feedback. This same or substantially similar methodology
will be used to continue this information collection.
Over the next three years, the BEP anticipates undertaking a
variety of new information collection activities related to BEP's
continued efforts to provide meaningful access to U.S. paper currency
for blind and visually impaired persons. Following standard OMB
requirements, for each information collection that BEP proposes to
undertake under this generic clearance, the OMB will be notified at
least two weeks in advance and provided with a copy of the information
collection instrument along with supportive materials. The BEP will
only undertake a new collection if the OMB does not object to the BEP's
proposal.
