Proposed Collection; Comment Request

ACTION: Notice.

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

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 National Endowment for the Arts is soliciting 
comments concerning the proposed information collection of: Blanket 
Justification for NEA Funding Application Guidelines and Reporting 
Requirements. 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. We are 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.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Jillian Miller, Director, Office of 
Guidelines and Panel Operations, National Endowment for the Arts, at
