members of federally recognized tribes. Businesses listed in the Source Directory include American Indian and Alaska Native artists and craftspeople, cooperatives, tribal arts and crafts enterprises, businesses privately-owned-and-operated by American Indian and Alaska Native artists, designers, and craftspeople, and businesses privately owned-and-operated by American Indian and Alaska Native merchants who retail and/or wholesale authentic Indian and Alaska Native arts and crafts. Business listings in the Source Directory are arranged alphabetically by State.

The Director of the Board uses this information to determine whether an individual or business applying to be listed in the Source Directory meets the requirements for listing. The approved application will be printed in the Source Directory. The Source Directory is updated as needed to include new businesses and to update existing information. There is one type of application form, with a box to check what type of listing they are applying for: (1) New businesses--group; (2) new businesses--individual; (3) businesses already listed--group; and (4) businesses already listed--individual.

The authorities for this action are the Indian Arts and Crafts Act (25 U.S.C. 305) and the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.).

Meridith Z. Stanton,

Director, Indian Arts and Crafts Board.
