Description

    This request is for clearance of the 2022 Arts Supplement to the 
General Social Survey (GSS) to be conducted by the National Opinion 
Research Center on behalf of the National Science Foundation. The Arts 
Supplement to the GSS will provide important data on the impact the 
COVID-19 pandemic has had on recent arts participation. The survey data 
will also complement data collected through the planned 2022 Survey of 
Public Participation in the Arts. The data are circulated to interested 
researchers, and they are the basis for a range of NEA reports and 
independent research publications. An arts supplement to the GSS was 
also conducted in 2012 and 2016. 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). These data will also be used by the NEA as 
a contextual measure for one or more of its strategic goals.

    Dated: May 3, 2022.
