to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information in accordance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and financial
resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact
of collection requirements on respondents can be properly assessed. Currently, the
NEA is soliciting comments concerning the proposed information collection on arts
participation in the U.S. A copy of the current information collection request can be
obtained by contacting the office listed below in the address section of this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be submitted to the office listed in the address section
below within 60 days from the date of this publication in the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Sunil Iyengar, National Endowment for the Arts, via
email (research@arts.gov).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NEA is particularly interested in comments
which:

•

Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;

•

Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information including the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;

•

Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

•

Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond,
including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses.
