This program helps to ensure the 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 NEA is soliciting comments concerning the proposed information collection on arts participation in the U.S.: Clearance Request for NEA 2022 Survey of Public Participation in the Arts. Copies of this ICR, with applicable supporting documentation, may be obtained by visiting www.Reginfo.gov.

Description: This request is for clearance of the 2022 Survey of
Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA) to be conducted by the Census
Bureau in July 2022 as a supplement to the Bureau of Labor Statistic's
Current Population Survey. The SPPA is the field's premiere repeated
cross-sectional survey of individual attendance and involvement in arts
and cultural activity. The data are circulated to interested
researchers, and they are the basis for a range of NEA reports and
independent research publications. The SPPA provides primary knowledge
on the extent and nature of participation in the arts and leisure in
the United States. Earlier SPPA surveys were conducted in 1982, 1985,
1992, 1997, 2002, 2008, 2012, and 2017, all of which were conducted by
the Census Bureau except the 1997 study, which was conducted by a
private contractor, Westat Inc. Reports on these data will be made
publicly available on the NEA's website. The data will be made
available to the public through the agency's data archive, the National
Archive of Data on Arts and Culture (NADAC). The SPPA will provide
primary knowledge on the extent and nature of participation in the arts
in the United States. These data will also be used by the NEA as a
contextual measure for one or more of its strategic goals.
