A court order was issued in American Council of the Blind v. Paulson, 591 F. Supp. 2d 1 (D.D.C. 2008) ("ACB v. Paulson") requiring the Department of the Treasury and BEP to "provide meaningful access to United States currency for blind and other visually impaired persons, which steps shall be completed, in connection with each denomination of currency, not later than the date when a redesign of that denomination is next approved by the Secretary of the Treasury * * * ." In compliance with the court's order, BEP intends to meet individually with blind and visually impaired persons and request their feedback about tactile features that BEP is considering for possible incorporation into the next U.S. paper currency redesign. BEP employees will attend national conventions and conferences for disabled persons. At those gatherings, BEP employees will invite blind and visually impaired persons to provide feedback about certain tactile features being considered for inclusion in future United States currency paper designs.

An increase of 249 burden hours is an adjustment due to the increase of the average time per response from 20 to 30 minutes. The increase in the estimated time per response is due to the fact subsequent testing may initially include a larger set of samples as we ask the B&VI community to review proposed denomination scheme prototypes and not just the single scheme from earlier engagements. Additionally, this estimated time is consistent with our observations during the last testing.
