3948. INDEMNITIES UNDER THE ARTS AND ARTIFACTS INDEMNITY ACT

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  20 USC 971 to 977

CFR Citation:  45 CFR 1160

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Arts and Artifacts Indemnity Act authorizes the Federal 
Council on the Arts and the Humanities to enter into indemnification 
agreements for exhibitions of items determined by the Federal Council 
to be of educational, cultural, historical, or scientific value, the 
exhibition of which is certified by the Director of the United States 
Information Agency as being in the national interest. The regulations 
permit the indemnification of eligible items from outside the United 
States while on exhibition in the United States. However, under current 
regulations, U.S.-owned loans may be indemnified only when exhibited 
abroad.
The Federal Council is considering an amendment that would permit the 
indemnification of eligible items from the United States while in this 
country in connection with an exhibition of eligible items from outside 
of the United States. The proposal is not intended to bring about a 
major shift in emphasis of the current policy or practice of the 
indemnity program. Specifically, exhibitions consisting solely of 
domestic items on exhibition within the United States would continue to 
be ineligible for indemnification.

Timetable: Next Action Undetermined

Small Entities Affected: Undetermined

Government Levels Affected: Undetermined
