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 rights-holder affirmatively acknowledges and approves of 
the applicant's project.
    Title of Collection: Acknowledgement of Rights-Holder for 
Literature: Translation Projects Applications.
    Type of Review: Regular.
    Affected Public: Individuals.
    Total Estimated Number of Respondents Across All Three Years: 300.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 100.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 1 hour.
    Total Annual Burden Hours: 100.
    Total Annualized Capital/Startup Costs: 0.
    Total Annual Costs (Operating/Maintaining Systems or Purchasing

    Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice 
will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB approval. The 
OMB is particularly interested in comments which: (1.) 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; (2.) 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; (3.) Enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information 
to be collected; (4.) 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; and (5.) Estimate the 
capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and 
purchase of services to provide information.
    Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources 
expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide 
information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed 
to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize 
technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and 
verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and 
disclosing and providing information; to train personnel and to be able 
to respond to a collection of information, to search data sources, to 
complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or 
otherwise disclose the information.
