We have approved
this information collection package for three years. This OMB
approval number applies both to the FY 93 and 94 Visual Arts
Guidelines as well as the US/Japan Artist Exchange Program for FY
93. The latter package was inadvertently approved under this
number, which had formerly been dedicated to the Visual Arts
Guidelines. NEA will separate the US/Japan Program package when
next submitted for approval
