SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 24, 2004, the U.S. Election 
Assistance Commission published in the Federal Register the original 
HAVA State plans filed by the fifty States, the District of Columbia 
and the Territories of American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. 
Virgin Islands. 69 FR 14002. HAVA anticipated that States, Territories 
and the District of Columbia would change or update their plans from 
time to time pursuant to HAVA section 254(a)(11) through (13). HAVA 
sections 254(a)(11)(A) and 255 require EAC to publish such updates. EAC 
has not previously published an update to the American Samoa State 
plan.
    The submission from American Samoa addresses material changes in 
the State budget of its previously submitted State plan and, in 
accordance with HAVA section 254(a)(12), provides information on how 
the State succeeded in carrying out its previous State plan. The 
amendment specifically focuses on using a majority of the requirements 
payments received by American Samoa to construct a new hurricane proof 
central elections office for the territory. American Samoa's new 
central election office will provide classroom space for voter 
education and election official training, expanded walkways and 
hallways, and construct elevators or ramps for easier access by voters 
with disabilities, and provide additional parking for better access by 
voters.
    Upon the expiration of thirty days from June 29, 2006, American 
Samoa will be eligible to implement the material changes addressed in 
the plan that is published herein, in accordance with HAVA section 
254(a)(11)(C).
    EAC notes that the plan published herein has already met the notice 
and comment requirements of HAVA section 256, as required by HAVA 
section 254(a)(11)(B). EAC wishes to acknowledge the effort that went 
into revising this State plan and encourages further public comment, in 
writing, to the State election official listed below.
