Abstract: BEP has undertaken significant outreach efforts as part of its initiative to provide meaningful access to United States paper currency for the blind and VI community. Many of BEP's outreach efforts involve communicating directly with national organizations whose constituencies have an interest in the redesign of United States paper currency to provide for meaningful access. This obviously involves the ACB and other organizations that aim to advocate for and support members of the blind and VI community. There are other national organizations, however, with which BEP coordinates. These are industry associations whose members deal with United States currency on a daily basis; associations such as armored car operators, and vending machine and cash machine manufacturers. Any change to United States paper currency will affect those member associations. The BEP, therefore, aims to keep all interested constituencies apprised of its efforts to provide meaningful access. Many of BEP's outreach efforts take place at annual conventions and gatherings of these interested organizations.

Emergency Justfication: The Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”), on behalf of itself and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (“BEP”), respectfully requests emergency processing and approval for a collection of information to be taken during an outreach effort at the California State University Northridge (“CSUN”) Annual International Technology and Persons with Disabilities Conference, scheduled from February 27 – March 3, 2012. An Emergency Processing and Approval request is submitted because normal clearance procedures are reasonably likely to prevent or disrupt the collection of information.
