Agency: National Endowment for the Arts. Title: Regional and State Arts Agency ARP Funding Survey. OMB number: 3135–0144. Frequency: One-time web survey.

Total annualized capital/startup Costs: $0. Total annual costs (operating/ maintaining systems or purchasing services): $25,000. Description 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. The web-based survey is planned to be administered once during winter 2023, contingent upon OMB approval. Knowledge gained through this information collection will enable the NEA to collect information on emergency relief funding provided by the American Rescue Plan (ARP) to state and regional subgrantees from the NEA. Currently, the NEA does not collect any information about the benefits of ARP funding awarded to states and regions. The NEA 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)). ARP funds were administered to state arts agencies and regional art organizations via amendments to FY 2021 Partnership Agreements.

However, Final Descriptive Reports do not request data related to jobs and infrastructure investments, which were the primary purpose of ARP funds to state arts agencies and regional arts organizations. In an effort to understand the benefits and outcomes of emergency relief funds going to the 56 states and jurisdictions, and six regions, the NEA is partnering with National Assembly of State Arts Agencies (NASAA) to collect data on the how subgrantees used ARP funds. The Regional and State Arts Agency ARP Funding Survey is modeled after the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) Funding Survey approved by OMB under this OMB Control Number (see ICR Ref. No. 202105–3135–001) and administered by the NEA in partnership with NASAA in 2020. The two surveys are identical with the exception that programmatic information, like grant program name and description, has been updated in the Regional and State Arts Agency ARP Funding Survey to include ARP, not CARES Act information. The intent of both surveys is to assess how federal Covid–19 relief funding from the NEA supported the continuation or creation of jobs and investment in infrastructure for state and regional subgrantees. Administering the survey will allow the NEA to again report on the outcomes of the relief funds that were distributed to states arts agencies and regional arts organizations. The NEA’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 ARP 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 ARP emergency relief. The survey will also provide an opportunity for state arts agencies and regional arts organizations to share additional qualitative or quantitative subgrantee data related to ARP funding they collected. The information will allow the NEA to examine the outcomes of ARP funds 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. NASAA will report the survey data to the public in the aggregate and include an analysis of subgrantee data along with direct grantee data to understand and track outcomes of ARP funding.

Description

    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. The web-based 
survey is planned to be administered once during winter 2023, 
contingent upon OMB approval. Knowledge gained through this information

relief funding provided by the American Rescue Plan (ARP) to state and

    For regular Partnership Agreements, states and regional 
jurisdictions are

Descriptive Reports (OMB Control Number 3135-0140). However, Final 
Descriptive Reports do not request data related to jobs and

data to understand and track outcomes of ARP funding. The primary 
indicators will be the number of jobs created or maintained by grantees 
and subgrantees (full-time and part-time), and the infrastructure 
supported with ARP funds.
