Applicants for federal indemnity under the Arts and Artifacts Indemnity Act (P.L. 94-158) are required to submit indemnity applications. Respondents include non-profit, tax-exempt organizations (primarily museums).
The number of respondents has been fewer than originally estimated, which reduces the total time burden. The total cost burden has been halved because the staff divides time between the domestic and international indemnity programs. (The international program has a separate ICR.)
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
