Abstract: This request is for clearance of the 2022 Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA) to be conducted by the Census Bureau in July 2022 as a supplement to the Bureau of Labor Statistic’s Current Population Survey (CPS). The SPPA is the field’s premiere cross-sectional survey of individuals’ attendance and involvement in arts and cultural activity. The data are circulated to interested researchers, and they are the basis for a range of NEA reports and independent research publications. The SPPA provides primary knowledge on the extent and nature of participation in the arts in the United States. Earlier SPPA surveys were conducted in 1982, 1985, 1992, 1997, 2002, 2008, 2012, and 2017, all of which were conducted by the Census Bureau except the 1997 study, which was conducted by a private contractor, Westat Inc.
