This request is for clearance of the Annual Arts Benchmarking Survey (AABS) to be conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau as a supplement to the Bureau of Labor Statistic's Current Population Survey. The AABS would be conducted for the first time in February 2013, and annually thereafter in years that the National Endowment for the Arts' (NEA) Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA) is not conducted. One of the strengths of the AABS survey is that it will both complement and supplement the information collected in the SPPA. The SPPA is the field's premiere repeated cross-sectional survey of individual attendance and involvement in arts and cultural activity, and conducted approximately every five years. The AABS questionnaire will be much shorter than the SPPA, consisting of ten to twelve questions that will be used to track arts participation over time. As with the SPPA, the AABS data will be circulated to interested researchers and will be the basis for a range of NEA reports and independent research publications. The AABS will provide annual primary knowledge on the extent and nature of participation in the arts in the United States.

The increase in burden occurred, because this is a request for a new collection. The NEA, pursuant to its mandate "to support projects and productions that will encourage public knowledge, education, understanding and appreciation of the arts" (USC2O, Section 954 (5)) and "to develop and implement a practical system of national information and data collection and public dissemination on the arts and their audiences, including trends in audience participation" (USC 20, Section 954 (q)), has entered into an interagency agreement with the Census Bureau to conduct the Annual Arts Benchmarking Survey (AABS). The Census Bureau is authorized to collect data under Title 13, United States Code, Section 182 (see Attachment A). As a national survey, the AABS will serve as a sound basis on which to make annual estimates of participation rates in the various art forms asked on the survey. National data from the AABS will supplement SPPA data which appear regularly in the Statistical Abstract of the United States. The AABS data will also provide information on the characteristics of the population participating in the arts. In addition, the AABS gathers information on the characteristics of adults not participating in the arts. Given that the AABS will be collected on an annual basis, the AABS will provide trend data that will help policymakers and arts administrators make decisions using more reliable and recent information.
