60-Day Notice for the ``Evaluation of the Our Town Program'' 
Proposed Collection; Comment Request

AGENCY: National Endowment for the Arts, National Foundation of the 
Arts and the Humanities.

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 Our Town Program. 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 
ADDRESSES section below within 60 days from the date of this 
publication in the Federal Register.

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.
