Subject 60-Day Notice for the ``USArtists International Program 
Information Collection''

AGENCY: National Endowment for the Arts.

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 Survey of 
American Artists Participating in International Exchanges. 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.

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.
