    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Assessing Potential Benefits 
of Accessible Web Content for Individuals Who Are Blind.

    Abstract: DOJ's Civil Rights Division, Disability Rights Section, 
is requesting PRA approval of a new information collection to assess 
potential benefits of accessible Web content to individuals who are 
blind and to inform future rulemaking under the Americans with 
Disabilities Act. DOJ proposes to have respondents who are blind 
interact with Web content that has high accessibility and low 
accessibility to assess any time savings that people who are blind 
experience when interacting with accessible Web content. The collection 
will also request additional information regarding challenges, if any, 
experienced by respondents while interacting with inaccessible Web 
content.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 30 
respondents will participate at three hours per respondent. All of the 
respondents will fully complete the collection.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated public burden associated with this 
collection is 90 hours. It is estimated that respondents will take an 
average of three hours to complete the process. The burden hours for 
collecting respondent data sum to 90 hours (30 respondents x 3 hours = 
90 hours).
