Abstract: This request for regular clearance will enable the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies (NASAA), in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), to implement an online survey that will be used to support reporting on the outcomes of relief funding provided by the American Rescue Plan (ARP) to state-level subgrantees from the NEA. This package requests the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) regular clearance for one-time data collection. As part of the stimulus package passed by Congress in March 2021, the ARP appropriated $135 million to the NEA for emergency relief. Forty percent of these funds were directed to state arts agencies and regional arts organizations to be distributed for grantmaking. Stemming from an effort to understand the benefits and outcomes of relief funds going to states and jurisdictions, the NEA will partner with NASAA to survey regional arts organizations and state arts agencies to collect data on the how the subgrantees used NEA ARP funding. The ARP funding survey is modeled after the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) funding survey approved by OMB under the same OMB Control Number (see ICR Ref. No. 202105-3135-001) and administered by the NEA in partnership with NASAA in 2020. The intent of both surveys is to assess how federal Covid-19 relief funding from the NEA supported the continuation or creation of jobs and supported investment in infrastructure for state and regional subgrantees. It captures how many jobs grantees were able to maintain or create and the dollar amount invested in facilities. Additionally, it collects any other data state arts agencies are gathering related to ARP funds. The administration of the survey will allow the NEA to again report on the outcomes of the relief funds that were distributed to states. The two surveys are identical with the exception that programmatic information regarding relief dollars, like grant program name and description, is updated in the ARP funding survey. The online survey will be delivered to 62 state arts agencies and regional arts organizations who received NEA ARP funding. It will take approximately 4.5 hours per response with 15 questions and skip patterns built into the survey.
