NATIONAL FOUNDATION ON THE 

ARTS AND THE HUMANITIES 

National Endowment for the Arts; 

Proposed Collection, Comment 

Request 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The National Endowment for 

the Arts (NEA), as part of its continuing 

effort 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 (PRA95) [44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(A)]. 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 a baseline, 

comprehensive nationwide census of 

Local Arts Agencies (LAAs). 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 on or before July 

1, 2013. 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.
