BILLING CODE 7537–01–P
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) [44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(A)]. 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 to evaluate
methods of assessing student learning
arts education programs. A copy of the
current information collection request
can be obtained by contacting the office
listed below in the ADDRESSES section of
this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
address section below on or before
March 5, 2009. The NEA 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
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Title: Study of Outdoor Arts Festivals.
OMB Number: New.
Frequency: One time.
Affected Public: Festival organizers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
7769.
Estimated Time Per Respondent: 16.0
minutes.
Total Burden Hours: 2071 hours.
Total Annualized Capital/Startup
Costs: 0.
Total Annual Costs (Operating/
Maintaining Systems or Purchasing
Services): 0.
Description: The National Endowment
for the Arts plans to conduct a study of
outdoor arts festivals in the United
States. There currently is no single,
comprehensive research publication or
database that describes the range and/or
impact of arts festivals in this country.
The study proposed here is a twopronged research effort to describe the
U.S. outdoor festival community—
among other characteristics, its number,
types, financing, staffing, regional
distribution, and artist employment
patterns. The first prong of the study is
a national on-line survey of the universe
of outdoor arts festivals, and the second
is a series of seven case studies of
festivals involving site visits, audience
surveys, interviews with festival
administrators, focus groups of artists,
and focus groups of volunteers.
Festivals in the study may be one-day or
season-long programs, multidisciplinary or discipline-specific, and
funded by non-profit or for-profit
organizations. The activities include
collecting uniform data from festival
organizers while still keeping data
collection burdens to a minimum.
