I. Abstract
This notice is for renewal of information collection.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulations at 5 CFR part
1320, which implement the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq., require that interested members of the public and
affected agencies have an opportunity to comment on information
collection and recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR 1320.8(d)).
The Source Directory of American Indian and Alaska Native Owned and
Operated Arts and Crafts Businesses (Source Directory) is a program of
the Indian Arts and Crafts Board that promotes American Indian and
Alaska Native arts and crafts. The Source Directory is a listing of
American Indian and Alaska Native-owned and-operated arts and crafts
businesses that may be accessed by the public on the Indian Arts and
Crafts Board's Web site: http://www.doi.gov/iacb.
The service of being listed in this directory is provided free-of-
charge to members of federally recognized Tribes. Businesses listed in
the Source Directory include American Indian and Alaska Native artists
and craftspeople, cooperatives, Tribal arts and crafts enterprises,
businesses privately-owned and-operated by American Indian and Alaska
Native artists, designers, and craftspeople, and businesses privately-
owned and -operated by American Indian and Alaska Native merchants who
retail and/or wholesale authentic Indian and Alaska Native arts and
crafts. Business listings in the Source Directory are arranged
alphabetically by State.
The Director of the Indian Arts and Crafts Board uses this
information collected in information collection 1085-0001 to determine
whether an individual or business applying to be listed in the Source
Directory meets the requirements for listing. If approved, the
application will be included in the Source Directory. The Source
Directory is updated annually to include new businesses and to update
existing information.
To be listed in the Source Directory, interested individuals and
businesses must submit: (1) A draft of their business information in a
format like the other Source Directory listings, (2) a copy of the
individual's or business owner's Tribal enrollment card; and for
businesses, proof that the business is organized under Tribal, state,
or federal law; and (3) a certification that the business is an

Alaska Native group.
