The Advisory Committee developed the collection tool to ensure its language is accessible and understandable to advocates; its questions will result in collection of data needed to identify gaps in knowledge and skills; and its structure is streamlined to ease burden. The information will be used by NCVLI to determine what training and technical assistance (TTA) is needed to ensure that communities have collaborative partnerships between community-based and system-based advocates and other service professionals in order to provide trauma-informed and survivor-centered services regarding victims’ rights. This information will be used by OVW to ensure grantees are received targeted, informed training and technical assistance from NCVLI to ensure that grantees’ professional and community needs are being met. The collection will be national in scope and will inform the development of TTA for NCVLI’s national Project as well as future OVW criminal justice response programs. The affected public are victim advocates (both system-based and community-based). jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES Explain Why Information Is Necessary, How It Will Be Collected (Electronically), How It Will Be Used (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond/reply: It is estimated that it will take the hoped for 150 respondents approximately 10 minutes each to complete this one-time online survey, which will ask respondents about their knowledge of existing victims’ rights laws as well as to evaluate their collaborative relationships.

Affected Public: State art agency staff members. Estimated Number of Respondents: 62. Total Burden Hours: 279 hours (62 responses, average of 4.5 hours). Total annualized capital/startup costs: 0. Total annual costs (operating/ maintaining systems or purchasing services): $45,000 (one-time costs). The planned data collection is a new information collection request, and the data to be collected are not available elsewhere unless obtained through this information collection. A web-based survey of state arts agencies and regional arts organizations is planned to be administered once during summer 2021, contingent upon OMB approval. Knowledge gained through this information collection will enable the Arts Endowment to collect information on emergency relief funding provided by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) to state-level and regional subgrantees from the Arts Endowment. Currently, the Arts Endowment does not collect any information from state arts agencies or regional arts organizations related to the benefits of the CARES Act funding awarded to states and regions. The National Endowment for the Arts is compelled by Congress to obligate 40 percent of its program budget to state arts agencies and regional arts organizations through Partnership Agreements (20 U.S.C. 954(g)). In turn, state arts agencies and regional arts organizations use these funds to support state and regional grantmaking and other programming, ‘‘developing projects and productions in the arts in such a manner as will furnish adequate programs, facilities, and services in the arts to all the people and communities in each of the several States.’’ (20 U.S.C. 954. (g)(1)). For regular Partnership Agreements, states, jurisdictions and regions are required to report subgrantee data to the National Endowment for the Arts. As part of the stimulus package passed by Congress in April 2020, the CARES Act appropriated $75 million to the Arts Endowment for emergency relief. 40 percent of these funds were directed to state arts agencies and regional arts organizations to be distributed for emergency grantmaking. After the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies (NASAA) conducted a listening session on June 24, 2020 with executive directors of state arts agencies, based on OMB guidance to federal PO 00000 Frm 00100 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 agencies in administering and implementing relief funding, the administration emphasized minimal burden to expedite implementing funding decisions, which gave agencies leeway in determining appropriate transparency and accountability mechanisms. With this guidance, the National Endowment for the Arts determined that there would be no additional reporting requirements associated with these emergency funds in order to minimize burdens of during the pandemic. CARES funds were administered to state arts agencies and regional art organizations via amendments to FY 2019 partnership agreements, which are reported to the Arts Endowment annually in Final Descriptive Reports (OMB Control Number 3135–0140). However, Final Descriptive Reports do not contain data describing jobs and facility or infrastructure investments, which were the primary purpose of CARES Act dollars to state arts agencies. In an effort to understand the benefits and outcomes of emergency relief funds going to the 56 states and jurisdictions, and six regions, the Arts Endowment partnered with NASAA to survey state arts agencies and regional arts organizations to collect data on the how subgrantees used CARES Act funding. The NEA intends to examine the outcomes of CARES Act funding on subgrantees of state arts agencies and regional arts organizations to understand how these funds were used to support arts organizations and benefit the public. The Arts Endowment’s Office of Research & Analysis decided to survey state arts agencies and regional arts organizations because it would fill a gap in knowledge of the 40 percent of CARES Act funding allocated to states and regions. The questions in the survey will capture the jobs subgrantees were able to maintain or create, and the amount invested in infrastructure, as a result of CARES Act emergency relief. The survey will also provide an opportunity to share any additional qualitative or quantitative subgrantee data related to CARES Act funding that state arts agencies have collected. NASAA will report the survey data to the public in the aggregate and the Arts Endowment will include an analysis of subgrantee data along with direct grantee data to understand and track outcomes on CARES Act funding. The primary indicators will be the number of jobs created or maintained by grantees and subgrantees (full time and part time), and the facilities/ infrastructure supported with CARES Act dollars.
