National Endowment for the Arts; Proposed Collection, Comment Request ACTION: [FR Doc. 2013–10582 Filed 5–3–13; 8:45 am] Notice. 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 a baseline, comprehensive nationwide census of Local Arts Agencies (LAAs). A copy of the current information collection request can be obtained by contacting the office listed below in the address section of this notice. DATES: Written comments must be submitted to the office listed in the address section below on or before July 1, 2013. 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 technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:06 May 03, 2013 Jkt 229001 NATIONAL FOUNDATION ON THE ARTS AND THE HUMANITIES Arts Advisory Panel Meeting National Endowment for the Arts, National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities.

The EP Final Rule went into effect on December 23, 2011, with various implementation dates for the rule changes. On June 20, 2012, Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company (CYAPCO) submitted a letter, ‘‘Request for Exemption to Revised Emergency Planning Regulations’’ (ADAMS Accession No. ML12181A114), requesting exemption from specific EP requirements of Section 50.47 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) and Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 for the Haddam Neck Plant (HNP) Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). CYAPCO stated that the exemption request and its impact on the corresponding emergency plan: (1) Is authorized by law; (2) will not present an undue risk to the public health and safety; and (3) is consistent with the common defense and security in accordance with Section 50.12 of 10 CFR. CYAPCO states that its intent in submitting this exemption request is to maintain the regulatory structure in place prior to the issuance of the EP Final Rule and, therefore, does not propose any changes to its emergency plan or implementing procedures other than simple regulatory reference changes that can be implemented under 10 CFR 50.54(q). CYAPCO is holder of Facility Operating License DPR–61 for the HNP located in Middlesex County, E:\FR\FM\06MYN1.SGM 06MYN1
