GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

[OMB Control No. 3090-0274]


Public Buildings Service; Submission for OMB Review; Art-in-
Architecture Program National Artist Registry

AGENCY: Public Buildings Service, (GSA).

ACTION: Notice of request for comments regarding a renewal to an 
existing OMB clearance.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the General Services Administration will be 
submitting to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request to 
review and approve an extension of a previously approved information 
collection requirement regarding Art-in Architecture Program National 
Artist Registry. A request for public comments was published in the 
Federal Register at 74 FR 31278, on June 30, 2009. No comments were 
received.
    The Art-in-Architecture Program is the result of a policy decision 
made in January 1963 by GSA Administrator Bernard L. Boudin who had 
served on the Ad Hoc Committee on Federal Office Space in 1961-1962.
    The program has been modified over the years, most recently in 2000 
when a renewed focus on commissioning works of art that are an integral 
part of the building's architecture and adjacent landscape was 
instituted. The program continues to commission works of art from 
living American artists. One-half of one percent of the estimated 
construction cost of new or substantially renovated Federal buildings 
and U.S. courthouses is allocated for commissioning works of art.
    Public comments are particularly invited on: whether this 
collection of information is necessary and whether it will have 
practical utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this 
collection of information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions 
and methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected.

DATES: Submit comments on or before: February 16, 2010.
