SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Under the PRA and its implementing regulations (5 CFR part 1320),
Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor
(e.g., contractually-required information collection by a third-party).
``Collection of information,'' within the meaning of the PRA, includes
agency requests that pose identical questions to, or impose reporting
or recording keeping obligations on, ten or more persons, regardless of
whether response to such request is mandatory or voluntary. See 5 CFR
1320.3(c); see also 44 U.S.C. 3502(3). Before seeking clearance from
OMB, agencies are generally required, among other things, to publish a
60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning any proposed
information collection and provide an opportunity for comment. See 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1).
II. Proposed New Information Collection Request
The Access Board is providing notice of its intent to seek approval
of a new information collection regarding requests for training by
members of the public and state and local governments. The Access Board
provides training and technical assistance on the guidelines and
standards that it promulgates, including design criteria for the built
environment, transit vehicles, public rights-of-way, information and
communication technology, and medical diagnostic equipment under the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Architectural Barriers Act
of 1968, and other laws. By practice, the Access Board provides in-
person and virtual training to organizations across the United States,
to include State and local agencies. The Access Board receives email
requests for training which currently result in multiple communications
with the requestor to determine if the Access Board is able to
[[Page 57389]]
provide the training requested. The Access Board is proposing to
streamline this process for both the requestor and the Board by
creating a form for the agency website to allow requestors to submit
all of the necessary information at one time so the Board can review
the request and make a determination whether the training can be
provided. The online form will be used unless the requestor expresses a
preference for another format (e.g., discussion by telephone).
OMB Control Number: X.
Title: Technical Assistance Training Request Form.
Type of Request: New Collection.
Abstract: The proposed information collection activity enables
members of the public, including state and local agencies, to request
technical assistance training on the standards and guidelines issued by
the Access Board. This collection will allow for streamlining the
process and decreasing wait times for responses to these requests.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households; Businesses
and Organizations; State, Local or Tribal Government.
Burden Estimates: In the table below (table 1), the Access Board
provides estimates for the annual reporting burden under this proposed
information collection. The Access Board does not anticipate incurring
any capital or other direct costs associated with this information
collection. Nor will there be any costs to respondents, other than
their time.

(Note: Total burden hours per collection rounded to the nearest full hour.)
Request for Comment: The Access Board seeks comment on any aspect
of the proposed new information collection, including: (a) whether it
is necessary for the Access Board's performance of the functions of the
agency; (b) whether the information will have practical utility; (c)
the accuracy of the estimated burden; (d) ways for the Access Board to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collections; and (e) ways that the burden could be minimized without
reducing the quality of the collected information. Comments will be
summarized and included in our request for OMB's approval of the new
information collection.
Christopher Kuczynski,
General Counsel.
