Request

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Endowment for the Arts, 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 (PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(A)). This program 
helps 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 National Endowment for the Arts, on behalf of the 
Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities, is soliciting comments 
concerning the Civil Rights and Section 504 Accessibility Checklists. A 
copy of the collection request can be obtained by contacting the office 
listed below in the address section of the notice.

DATES: Written comments must be submitted to the office listed in the 
ADDRESS section below on or before April 12, 1999. The National 
Endowment for the Arts 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 the use of appropriate automated, electronic, 
mechanical, or other technical collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology, e.g., permitting the electronic submission of 
response.
