SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The IACB is responsible for
promoting the development of
American Indian and Alaska Native Arts
and crafts, improving the economic
status of members of Federally
recognized Tribes, and helping to
develop and expand marketing
opportunities for arts and crafts
produced by Native American Indians
and Alaska Natives. This year, the
Secretary of the Interior has mandated
that each department complete a
Strategic Plan. In conjunction with this
plan, the Commissioners for the IACB
have requested that the IACB generate
baseline numbers that will be included
in the Strategic Plan, as well as other
statistics that will be used for evaluating
and strengthening our Congressional
mandate. The IACB has designed a
questionnaire that would produce valid
and reliable results that can be
generalized to the entire universe of
study. It is directed toward the Native
American Indian and Alaska Native
artist/artisan constituency. The
questionnaire is to be utilized at Indian
markets across the country, which is
where most artists and artisans served
by the IACB sell their work. Recently,
the IACB learned that it would be able
to participate in the Santa Fe Indian
Market, the largest event in the

excellent opportunity to utilize the
questionnaire. In order to do this, it
requested emergency approval of the
Indian Artist/Artisan Survey; OMB
approved the survey under OMB
Control Number 1085–0003. The IACB
is planning to extend the information
collection approval for the standard
three years and to add additional
surveys in other regions necessary to
establish a national baseline.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
DOI is below parity with the Relevant
Civilian Labor Force representation for
many mission critical occupations. The
Department’s Strategic Human Capital
Management Plan identifies the job
skills that will be needed in its current
and future workforce. The job skills it
will need are dispersed throughout its
eight bureaus and include, among
others, making visitors welcome to
various facilities, such as parks and
refuges, processing permits for a wide
variety of uses of the public lands,
collecting royalties for minerals
extracted from the public lands,
rounding-up and adopting-out wild
horses and burros found in the west,
protecting archeological and cultural
resources of the public lands, and
enforcing criminal laws of the United
States. As a result of this broad
spectrum of duties and services, the
Department touches the lives of most
Americans.
The people who deal with the
Department bring with them a wide
variety of backgrounds, cultures, and
experiences. A diverse workforce
enables the Department to provide a
measure of understanding to its
customers by relating to the diverse
background of those customers. By
including employees of all backgrounds,
all DOI employees gain a measure of
knowledge, background, experience,
and comfort in serving all of the
Department’s customers.
In order to determine if there are
barriers in our recruitment and selection
processes, DOI must track the
demographic groups that apply for its
jobs. There is no other statistically valid
method to make these determinations,
and no source of this information other
than directly from applicants. The data
collected is not provided to selecting
officials and plays no part in the merit
staffing or the selection processes. The
data collected will be used in summary
form to determine trends covering the
demographic make-up of applicant
pools and job selections within a given
