the Poetry Out Loud Program’’
Proposed Collection; Comment
Request
National Endowment for the
Arts, National Foundation of the Arts

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
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. 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 for the
Evaluation of the Poetry Out Loud
Program (POL). Copies of this ICR, with
applicable supporting documentation,
may be obtained by visiting
www.Reginfo.gov.
DATES: Comments should be sent to the
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–
7316, within 30 days from the date of
this publication in the Federal Register.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) 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,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
Agency: National Endowment for the
Arts.
Title: Evaluation of the Poetry Out
Loud Program.
OMB Number: New.
Frequency: One Time.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
32,690.
Total burden hours: 8,627 hours.
Total annualized capital/startup

Description: This study is a new data
collection request, and the data to be
collected are not available elsewhere

collection activities are planned for July
2018 through June 2019. The study will
provide the National Endowment for the
Arts (NEA) a better understanding of
student-level outcomes associated with
the Poetry Out Loud program. Poetry
Out Loud is a national arts education
program supported by the NEA, the
Poetry Foundation, and state and
jurisdictional arts agencies, which
encourages high school students to learn
about poetry through memorization and
recitation, helping students master
public speaking skills, build selfconfidence, and learn about literary
history. Now in its twelfth year, POL
serves more than 3 million students and
50,000 teachers from 10,000 schools in
every state plus Washington, DC, the
U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.
The current evaluation study will be the
first since 2008. The study supports the
Agency’s FY 2018–2022 Strategic Plan,
which seeks in part to ‘‘expand and
promote evidence of the value and
impact of the arts for the benefit of the
American people’’ (Strategic Objective
3.2).
