Information Collection; Public Buildings Service; Art-in-
Architecture Program National Artist Registry, GSA Form 7437

AGENCY: Public Buildings Service, General Services Administration 
(GSA).

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

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

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the 
Regulatory Secretariat Division 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, GSA 
Form 7437.
    The Art-in-Architecture Program is the result of a policy decision 
made in January 1963 by GSA Administrator Bernard L. Boudin, who served 
on the Ad Hoc Committee on Federal Office Space in 1961-1962.
    The program has been modified over the years, most recently in 
2009, when a requirement was instituted that all artists who want to be 
considered for any potential GSA commission must be included on the 
National Artists Registry, which serves as the qualified list of 
eligible artists. 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.

DATES: Submit comments on or before February 22, 2016.

Chief Architect, Art-in-Architecture & Fine Arts Division (PCAC), 1800
