SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Under the PRA and its implementing regulations (5 CFR part 1320),
Federal agencies must obtain approval from 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). In July 2024, the Access Board
published a 60-day notice concerning the proposed new information
collection for a technical assistance training request form. We
received one comment that did not address the proposed new information
collection request.
II. Proposed New Information Collection Request
The Access Board is providing notice that it has requested OMB
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 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 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:
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 streamline the process and
decrease 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 performance of the agency's functions; (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.

General Counsel.
