AGENCY: Public Buildings Service (GSA).
ACTION: Notice of request for comments regarding an extension to an
existing OMB clearance.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the
[[Page 58142]]
Regulatory Secretariat will be submitting to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) a request to review and approve an extension of a
previously approved information collection requirement regarding Art-in
Architecture Program National Artist Registry (GSA Form 7437).
The Art-in-Architecture Program is the result of a policy decision
made in January 1963 by GSA Administrator Bernard L. Boudin who had
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.
Public comments are particularly invited on: whether this
collection of information is necessary and 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.
DATES: Submit comments on or before: November 19, 2012.
