SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
The AIA Program actively seeks to commission works from the full
spectrum of American artists and strives to promote new media and
inventive solutions for public art. The GSA Form 7437, Art in
Architecture Program National Artist Registry, will be used to collect
information from artists across the country to participate and to be
considered for commissions.
The AIA Program is the result of a policy decision made in January
1963 by GSA Administrator Bernard L. Boudin, who served on the Ad Hoc
Committee on Federal Office Space in 1961-1962.
The program has been modified over the years, most recently in
2020, to align with Executive Order (E.O.) 13934 issued July 3, 2020,
Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes. As mandated by
E.O. 13934, the AIA program prioritized the commissioning of artworks
that portray historically significant Americans or events of American
historical significance, or that illustrate the ideals upon which the
Nation was founded. Priority was to be given to public-facing monuments
to former Presidents of the United States, and to individuals and
events relating to the discovery of America, the founding of the United
States, and the abolition of slavery. Such works of art were to be
designed to be appreciated by the general public and by those who use
and interact with Federal buildings. When an artwork commissioned by
GSA was meant to depict a historically significant American, the
artwork was required to be a lifelike or realistic representation of
that person, not an abstract or modernist representation. The AIA
program has been modified in 2022 to align with E.O. 14029, Revocation
of Certain Presidential Actions and Technical Amendment, which revoked
E.O. 13934, and to support the goals of E.O. 13895, Advancing Racial
Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal
Government.
With the implementation of the 2022 policy, the AIA program
actively seeks to commission works from the full spectrum of American
artists and strives to promote new media and inventive solutions for
public art. In support of the AIA program's goal to commission the most
talented contemporary American artists to create works for the nation's
important new civic buildings, it is necessary to identify those
artists. The National Artist Registry (Registry) offers the opportunity
for artists across the country to participate and to be considered for
commissions.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Respondents: 300.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Total Responses: 300.
Hours per Response: .25.
Total Burden Hours: 75.
C. Public Comments
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register as part of final
rule FMR 2021-02, published at 87 FR 5711 on February 2, 2022. There
were three comments received on the PRA portion of the rule.
Discussion and Analysis
Two comments offered no specific suggestions. One comment provided
detailed and specific suggestions and recommendations that were
primarily outside of the mission of the Art in Architecture program,
and in a number of instances, duplicate work already being done by the
National Endowment for the Arts. In addition, the comments were
operational and are either already in place or will be addressed as
part of the management of the Art in Architecture program. For example,
the Registry form can now be submitted directly online via the AiA
website, and the site includes information on the selection process and
project timeframes.
