-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Disability Rights 
Section, will be submitting the following information collection 
request to the Office of Management and Budget for review and approval 
in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The information 
collection extension is published to obtain comments from the public 
and affected agencies. Comments are encouraged and will be accepted 
until May 3, 2010. This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR 
1320.10.
    We request written comments and suggestions from the public and 
affected agencies concerning the extension of a currently approved 
collection of information. Your comments should address one or more of 
the following four points:
    (1) Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the function of the agency, including whether 
the information will have practical utility;
    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the collection of information;
    (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology (e.g., permitting electronic 
submission of responses).
    Comments and/or suggestions regarding the item(s) contained in this 
notice, especially regarding the estimated public burden and associated 
response time should be directed to John Wodatch (phone number and 
address listed below). If you have additional comments, suggestions, or 
need a copy of the proposed information collection instrument with 
instructions, or additional information, contact John Wodatch, Chief,

Line), or write him at U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights 
Division, Disability Rights Section--NYA, 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20530.
    The information collection is listed below:
    (1) Type of information collection. Extension of Currently Approved 
Collection.
    (2) The title of the form/collection. Nondiscrimination on the 
Basis of Disability in State and Local Government Services (Transition 
Plan).
    (3) The agency form number and applicable component of the 
Department sponsoring the collection. No form number. Disability Rights 
Section, Civil Rights Division, U.S. Department of Justice.
    (4) Affected public who will be asked to respond, as well as a 
brief abstract: Primary: State, Local or Tribal Government. Under title 
II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, State and local governments 
are required to operate each service, program, or activity so that the 
service, program, or activity, when viewed in its entirety, is readily 
accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities (``program 
accessibility''). If structural changes to existing facilities are 
necessary to accomplish program accessibility, a public entity that 
employs 50 or more persons must develop a ``transition plan'' setting 
forth the steps necessary to complete the structural changes. A copy of 
the transition plan must be made available for public inspection.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: 3,000 
respondents at 8 hours per transition plan.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: 24,000 hours annual burden.
