This law creates the Indian Arts and Crafts Board inside the Department of the Interior. The Secretary of the Interior appoints five commissioners to staggered terms, who elect their own chairman. Commissioners serve without pay but get a per diem for expenses.

This section creates a five-member board in the Department of the Interior called the Indian Arts and Crafts Board. The Secretary of the Interior appoints the five commissioners as soon as possible after August 27, 1935. Their terms are staggered: two serve two years, one serves three years, and two serve four years, with the Secretary deciding who gets which term; after that, replacements serve four-year terms, except someone filling a vacancy only finishes out the term they're replacing. Both government officials and private citizens can serve. The Board elects one commissioner as chairman. If there are one or two vacancies, the remaining commissioners can still use all the Board's powers. Commissioners aren't paid, but each one gets a per diem for expenses, capped at the rate set in section 5703 of title 5 for unpaid government workers.
