I. Abstract

    This notice is for renewal of information collection.
    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulations at 5 CFR part 
1320, which implement the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq., require that interested members of the public and 
affected agencies have an opportunity to comment on information 
collection and recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR 1320.8(d)).
    The Source Directory of American Indian and Alaska Native Owned and 
Operated Arts and Crafts Businesses (Source Directory) is a program of 
the Indian Arts and Crafts Board that promotes American Indian and 
Alaska Native arts and crafts. The Source Directory is a listing of 
American Indian and Alaska Native-owned and-operated arts and crafts 
businesses that may be accessed by the public on the Indian Arts and 
Crafts Board's Web site: http://www.doi.gov/iacb.
    The service of being listed in this directory is provided free-of-
charge to members of federally recognized Tribes. Businesses listed in 
the Source Directory include American Indian and Alaska Native artists 
and craftspeople, cooperatives, Tribal arts and crafts enterprises, 
businesses privately-owned and-operated by American Indian and Alaska 
Native artists, designers, and craftspeople, and businesses privately-
owned and -operated by American Indian and Alaska Native merchants who 
retail and/or wholesale authentic Indian and Alaska Native arts and 
crafts. Business listings in the Source Directory are arranged 
alphabetically by State.
    The Director of the Indian Arts and Crafts Board uses this 
information collected in information collection 1085-0001 to determine 
whether an individual or business applying to be listed in the Source 
Directory meets the requirements for listing. If approved, the 
application will be included in the Source Directory. The Source 
Directory is updated annually to include new businesses and to update 
existing information.
    To be listed in the Source Directory, interested individuals and 
businesses must submit: (1) A draft of their business information in a 
format like the other Source Directory listings, (2) a copy of the 
individual's or business owner's Tribal enrollment card; and for 
businesses, proof that the business is organized under Tribal, state, 
or federal law; and (3) a certification that the business is an 
American Indian or

Alaska Native-owned and-operated cooperative, Tribal enterprise, or 
nonprofit organization, or that the owner of the enterprise is an 
enrolled member of a federally recognized American Indian Tribe or 
Alaska Native group.
    The following information is collected in a single-page form that 
is distributed by the Indian Arts and Crafts Board. Although listing in 
the Source Directory is voluntary, submission of this information is 
required for inclusion in the Directory.
