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. 
This is Rhode Island's first revision to its State plan.
    The revised State plan from Rhode Island accounts for the use of 
Fiscal Year 2008 requirements payments. In accordance with HAVA section 
254(a)(12), the State plan submitted for publication provides 
information on how the State succeeded in carrying out its previous 
State plan. The State confirms that these changes to its State plan 
were developed and submitted to public comment in accordance with HAVA 
sections 254(a)(11), 255, and 256.
    Upon the expiration of thirty days from November 10, 2008, the 
State is eligible to implement the changes addressed in the plan that 
is published herein, in accordance with HAVA section 254(a)(11)(C).
    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.
