Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

    Proposed Projects:
    Title: Protection and Advocacy (P&A) Voting Access Annual Report.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: An annual report is required by Federal statute (the 
Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002, Public Law 107-252, Section 291, 
Payments for Protection and Advocacy Systems, 42 U.S.C. 15461). Each 
State Protection & Advocacy (P&A) System must prepare and submit an 
annual report at the end of every fiscal year. The report addresses the 
activities conducted with the funds provided during the year. The 
information from the annual report will be aggregated into an annual 
profile of how HAVA funds have been spent. The report will also provide 
an overview of the P&A goals and accomplishments and permit the 
Administration on Developmental Disabilities to track progress to 
monitor grant activities.
    Respondents: Protection & Advocacy Systems--All States, the 
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American 
Samoa, and Guam.
