60-Day Notice for ``Civil Rights Evaluation Tool''

AGENCY: National Endowment for the Arts.

ACTION: Notice of proposed collection; comment request.

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

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 NEA is soliciting comments concerning the 
proposed information collection of: Civil Rights Evaluation Tool, 
designed to evaluate grant recipients' compliance with federal law 
including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 45 CFR part 
1110, Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs. A copy of the 
proposed 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. The NEA is 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.
