SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    The Art-in-Architecture Program actively seeks to commission works 
from the full spectrum of American artists and strives to promote new 
media and inventive solutions for public art. The GSA Form 7437, Art-
in-Architecture Program National Artist Registry, will be used to 
collect information from artists across the country to participate and 
to be considered for commissions.
    The Art-in-Architecture Program is the result of a policy decision 
made in January 1963 by GSA Administrator Bernard L. Boudin, who served 
on the Ad Hoc Committee on Federal Office Space in 1961-1962.
    The program has been modified over the years, most recently in 
2009, when a requirement was instituted that all artists who want to be 
considered for any potential GSA commission must be included on the 
National Artists Registry, which serves as the qualified list of 
eligible artists. The program continues to commission works of art from 
living American artists. One-half of one percent of the estimated 
construction cost of new or substantially renovated Federal buildings 
and U.S. courthouses is allocated for commissioning works of art.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 300.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Total Responses: .25.
    Hours per Response: .25.
    Total Burden Hours: 75.

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
functions of the FAR, whether it will have practical utility; whether 
our estimate of the public burden of this collection of information is 
accurate, and based on valid assumptions and methodology; ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and ways in which we can minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, through the use 
of appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.
