ELECTION ASSISTANCE COMMISSION


Proposed Rule of Agency Procedure No. 1: Procedures for Voting by 
Circulation Version 2.0

AGENCY: U.S. Election Assistance Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for public comment on Proposed Rule of 
Agency Procedure No. 1: Procedures for Voting by Circulation Version 
2.0.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) seeks public 
comment on Proposed Rule of Agency Procedure No. 1: Procedures for 
Voting by Circulation Version 2.0. EAC's current Proposed Rule of 
Agency Procedure No. 1: Procedures for Voting by Circulation provide 
the public with the process, including timelines on how EAC 
Commissioners vote to approve matters requiring formal Commission 
action that has not been placed on a meeting agenda. The policy 
requires action within specified time periods to allow a thorough and 
predictable time period for EAC Commissioners to consider the matter. 
Because of the firm deadlines, the current policy limits EAC's ability 
to address the rare situations that require swift action. The proposed 
policy amends the Rule of Agency Procedure No. 1: Procedures for Voting 
by Circulation to provide for unforeseeable circumstances that may 
require deviation from the default timelines indicated.

DATES: Written comments must be submitted on or before 4 p.m. EDT on 
June 1, 2010.
    Comments: Public comments are invited on the information contained 
in the policy. Comments on the proposed policy should be submitted 
electronically to [email protected]. Written comments on the 
proposed policy can also be sent to the U.S. Election Assistance 
Commission, 1201 New York Avenue, NW., Suite 300, Washington, DC 20005, 
ATTN: Proposed Rule of Agency Procedure No. 1: Procedures for Voting by 
Circulation Version 2.0.
