BILLING CODE 3110-01-P NATIONAL FOUNDATION ON THE ARTS AND THE HUMANITIES 60-Day Notice for the “NEA Applicant Survey” AGENCY: National Endowment for the Arts. ACTION: Notice of proposed collection; comment request. 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.
This program helps to ensure that requested data is 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 is properly assessed. Currently, the NEA is soliciting comments concerning the proposed information collection of an NEA applicant survey. 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** . The NEA is particularly interested in comments that: • 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 • Can help the agency minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the electronic submission of responses.
