Annual Report.
OMB No.: 0970-0326.
Description: This is a revision to include the application for the
previously cleared Help America Vote Act (HAVA) Annual report.

Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002, Public Law 107-252, Section 291, Payments for
Protection and Advocacy Systems, 42 U.S.C. 15461). Each State
Protection & Advocacy (P&A) System must prepare an application in
accordance with the program announcement. There is no application kit;
the P&As application may be in the format of its choice. It must,
however, be signed by the P&As Executive Director or the designated
representative, and contain the assurances as outlined under Part I. C.
Use of Funds. The P&As designated representatives may signify their
agreement with the conditions/assurances by signing and returning the
assurance document Attachment B, found in Part IV of this Instruction.
The assurance document signed by the Executive Director of the P&A, or
other designated person, should be submitted with the application to
the Administration on Developmental Disabilities.

Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002, Public Law 107-252, Section 291, Payments for
Protection and Advocacy Systems, 42 U.S.C. 15461). Each State
Protection & Advocacy (P&A) System must prepare and submit an annual
report at the end of every fiscal year. The report addresses the
activities conducted with the funds provided during the year. The
information from the annual report will be aggregated into an annual
profile of how HAVA funds have been spent. The report will also provide
an overview of the P&A goals and accomplishments and permit the
Administration on Developmental Disabilities to track progress to
monitor grant activities.
