The information requested will aid those who commission site specific art for Federal buildings by giving specific examples and background information of artists' experiences and artworks.
The annual number of responses has been reduced to 300, which yields an annual time burden of 75 hours. The number of responses is somewhat random and depends on the number of potential commissions announced in FedBizOpps, mention of the Artists Registry by other entities, which may prompt more submissions, and is not the result of programmatic or policy change generally people submit the registry forms in response to GSA's announcing a construction project in FedBizOps. There are few new projects so limited number of new artists will be submitting materials.
