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 
can be 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 
can be properly assessed. Currently, the NEA is soliciting comments 
concerning the proposed information collection for the Evaluation of 
the Poetry Out Loud Program (POL). 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: Submit comments on or before June 5, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to: Sunil Iyengar, National Endowment for the 
Arts, 400 7th Street SW., Washington, DC 20506-0001, telephone (202) 
682-5424 (this is not a toll-free number), fax (202) 682-5677, or send 
via email to [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NEA is particularly interested in 
comments which:

 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
 Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submissions of responses.
