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 Southwest, and felt this would be an 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
