ACTION:

Notice; request for comment.

As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burdens, and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA), the U.S. Election
Assistance Commission (EAC) gives
notice that it is requesting from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approval for the extension of the
information collection EAC Budget
Expenditures Worksheet (EAC–BEW)
and Instructions. The EAC proposes to
identify and collect budget and expense
activity data for HAVA. EAC will use
this data to ensure grantees are
proceeding in a satisfactory manner in
meeting the approved goals and purpose
of the project.

SUMMARY:

Comments must be received by
5 p.m. Eastern on Monday, August 18,
2025.

DATES:

Comments on the proposed
form should be submitted electronically
via https://www.regulations.gov (docket
ID: EAC–2025–0006).
Written comments on the proposed
information collection can also be sent
to the U.S. Election Assistance
Commission, 633 3rd Street NW, Suite

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:

Title and OMB Number
EAC Budget Expenditures Worksheet
(EAC–BEW); OMB Number: 3265–0023.
Purpose
This proposed information collection
was previously published in the Federal
Register on Wednesday, May 14, 2025,
and allowed 60 days for public
comment. In compliance with Section
3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, EAC has
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) a request for review
and approval of the information
collection listed below. The purpose of
this notice is to allow an additional 30
days for public comment from all
interested individuals and
organizations.
The EAC Office of Grants
Management (EAC/OGM) is responsible
for awarding, distributing, monitoring,
and providing technical assistance to
states and grantees on the use of federal
funds. EAC/OGM also reports on how
the funds are spent, negotiates indirect
cost rates with grantees, and resolves
audit findings on the use of HAVA
funds.

The EAC–BEW is to be employed for
all formula grants issued under HAVA
authority. The EAC–BEW will directly
benefit award recipients by making it
easier for them to monitor budgets and
expenses on their federal grant and
cooperative agreement programs
through standardization of the types of
information found in the worksheet—
thereby reducing their administrative
effort and costs.
The requirement for grantees to report
on performance is OMB grants policy.
Specific citations are contained in Code
of Federal Regulations TITLE 2, PART
200—w, COST PRINCIPLES, AND
AUDIT REQUIREMENTS FOR
FEDERAL AWARDS.

• Ways to enhance the quality, utility,

from respondents, including using
automated collection techniques or

and
• Ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

record. Before including any detailed
personal information, you should be
aware that your comments as submitted,
including your personal information,
will be available for public review.
