Notice of submission for OMB review; comment request. ACTION: The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) has submitted the following public information collection request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995: ‘‘Acknowledgment of Rights-Holder for Literature: Translation Projects Applications.’’ Copies of this ICR, with applicable supporting documentation, may be obtained by visiting www.Reginfo.gov. DATES: Comments should be sent to OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs within thirty days of this publication in the Federal Register. ADDRESSES: Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for the National Endowment for the Arts, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503 (202/395–4718). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jillian Miller, Director of Guidelines and Panel Operations, National Endowment for the Arts, at millerj@arts.gov or 202/ 682–5504. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NEA’s Literature: Translation Projects program gives grants to translators of previously written works which may be protected by copyright. The NEA typically requires that these applicants obtain from the publisher the affirmative ‘‘right to translate’’ the work (or, in cases that do not apply to this request that the work be in the public domain). Some publishers, due to industry standard practices, have refused to provide applicants with the ‘‘right to translate’’ but do not object to the work being translated. In order to ensure that these otherwise qualified applicants are eligible, the NEA proposes to use this form in which a non-applicant rightsholder affirmatively acknowledges and approves of the applicant’s project. daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:23 Jan 09, 2018 Jkt 244001 Title of Collection: Acknowledgement of Rights-Holder for Literature: Translation Projects Applications.
