ACTION:
Notice.
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 (PRA95). 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 on arts
participation in the U.S.: Clearance
Request for NEA 2018–2019 Annual
Arts Basic Survey. Copies of this ICR,
with applicable supporting
documentation, may be obtained by

Management and Budget, Room 10235,
Washington, DC 20503, 202/395–7316.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) 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.

Title: 2018–2019 Annual Arts Basic
Survey.
OMB Number: New.
Frequency: Annually, in years the
Survey of Public Participation in the
Arts is not conducted.
Affected Public: American adults.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
36,000.
Estimated time per respondent: 4.0
minutes.
Total burden hours: 2,000 hours.
Total annualized capital/startup
costs: 0.
Total annual costs (operating/
maintaining systems or purchasing
services): 0.
Description: This request is for
clearance of the 2018 and 2019 Annual
Arts Basic Surveys (AABS). These
surveys will be conducted by the U.S.
Census Bureau as a supplement to the
Bureau of Labor Statistic’s Current
Population Survey. The AABS will be
conducted in February 2018 and
February 2019 and are expected to
conducted annually thereafter in years
that the National Endowment for the
Arts’ (NEA) Survey of Public
Participation in the Arts (SPPA) is not
conducted. One of the strengths of the
AABS surveys is that they will both

complement and supplement the
information collected in the SPPA. The
SPPA is the field’s premiere repeated
cross-sectional survey of individual
attendance and involvement in arts and
cultural activity, and is conducted
approximately every five years. The
AABS questionnaires are much shorter
than the SPPA, consisting of 12 to 14
questions that will be used to track arts
participation over time. As with the
SPPA, the AABS data will be circulated
to interested researchers and will be the
basis for a range of NEA reports and
independent research publications.
Reports on these data will be made
publicly available on the NEA’s Web
site. The AABS will provide annual
primary knowledge on the extent and
nature of participation in the arts in the
United States. These data will also be
used by the NEA as a contextual
measure for one of the strategic goals
identified in its FY 2014–FY 2018
strategic plan.

of 30 months (5 U.S.C. 552a(o)(2)(D). In
order to qualify for the renewal, both
parties must certify to the RRB Data
Integrity Board, three months prior to
the expiration of the agreement that:
(1) The program will continue to be
conducted without change, and
(2) Each party certifies to the board in
writing that the program has been
conducted in compliance with the
agreement.
The number of matches conducted
with each state during the period of the
match will vary from state to state, but
