SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Beginning with the fall 2007 edition, the Internet will be the basic

Agenda database.

Because publication in the Federal Register is mandated for the regulatory flexibility agendas

required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602), Institute of Mus eum and Library Services’ printed

agenda entries include only:

(1) R ules that are in the Agency’s regulatory flexibility agenda, in accordance with the Regulatory

small entities; and

(2) any rules that the Agency has identified for periodic review under section 610 of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

Printing of these entries is limited to fields that contain information required by the Regulatory

Flexibility Act’s Agenda requirements. Additional information on these entries is available in the Unified

Agenda published on the Internet. In addition, for fall editions of the Agenda, the entire Regulatory Plan

will continue to be printed in the Federal Register , as in past years, including Institute of Museum and

Library Services’ regulatory plan

Title: Implementing the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
Abstract: The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) proposes rules to implement the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). Under NEPA, each Federal department and agency conducting or supporting public works activities which affect the environment must implement the policies established under existing law. NEPA's basic policy is to assure that all branches of government give proper consideration to the environment prior to undertaking any major federal action that significantly affects the environment. These rules will ensure the NEA's integration of the NEPA process at the earliest possible time to reflect environmental values.

Title: Implementation of OMB Guidance on Drug-Free Workplace Requirements
Abstract: The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is adopting the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance on drug-free workplace requirements for financial assistance. It is removing its regulation implementing the Government-wide common rule, currently located at 45 CFR part 1155, and issuing a new regulation to adopt the OMB guidance at 2 CFR part 182. These regulatory actions constitute an administrative simplification that would make no substantive change in NEA's policy or procedures for drug-free workplace.

Title: Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Age in Federally Assisted Programs or Activities
Abstract: The purpose of these regulations is to implement provisions of the Act Discrimination Act of 1975 (the "Act"), and as required by the general, government-wide age discrimination regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services at 45 CFR part 90. The Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance. The Act also permits federally assisted programs or activities, and recipients of federal funds, to continue to use certain age distinctions and factors other than age which meet the requirements of the Act and its implementing regulations. NEH's regulations are designed to guide recipients of federal financial assistance from NEH and incorporate the basic standards set forth in 45 CFR part 90 for determining what constitutes age discrimination. NEH's regulations also discuss the responsibilities of NEH recipients and the investigations, conciliation, and enforcement procedures NEH has been using and will continue to use to ensure compliance with the Act.Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Agenda Stage of Rulemaking: Final Rule Major: No Unfunded Mandates: No

Title: Revision of Joint FOIA Regulations
Abstract: The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) proposes to revise 45 CFR part 1100, which contains IMLS's joint Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) regulations with the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities (FCAH). The proposed revision will remove any reference to the NEH, IMLS and FCAH from the joint regulations, leaving only the NEA. IMLS has proposed its own FOIA regulations through a separate regulatory action. Upon finalizing its own NEA FOIA regulations through a separate regulatory action, NEA will propose to rescind the joint FOIA regulations through a separate regulatory action.
