SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Institute of Museum and Library
Services (IMLS) is an independent
Federal grant-making agency and is the
primary source of federal support for the
Nation’s 123,000 libraries and 35,000
museums. IMLS provides a variety of
grant programs to assist the Nation’s
museums and libraries in improving
their operations and enhancing their
services to the public. IMLS is
responsible for identifying national
needs for and trends in museum,
library, and information services;
measuring and reporting on the impact
and effectiveness of museum, library
and information services throughout the
United States, including programs
conducted with funds made available by
IMLS; identifying and disseminating
information on the best practices of
such programs; and developing plans to
improve museum, library, and
information services of the United
States and strengthen national, State,
local, regional, and international

communications and cooperative
networks (20 U.S.C. Chapter 72, 20
U.S.C. 9108).
II. Current Actions
Pursuant to Public Law 107–279, this
Public Libraries Survey collects annual
descriptive data on the universe of
public libraries in the United States and
the Outlying Areas. Information such as
public service hours per year,
circulation of library books, number of
librarians, population of legal service
area, expenditures for library collection,
programs for children and young adults,
staff salary data, and access to
technology, etc., would be collected.
The Public Libraries Survey has been
conducted by the Institute of Museum
and Library Services under the
clearance number 3137–0074, which
expires December 31, 2016.
Agency: Institute of Museum and
Library Services.
Title: Public Libraries Survey, 2016–
2018.
OMB Number: 3137–0074.
Agency Number: 3137.
Affected Public: State and local
governments, State library agencies, and
public libraries.
Number of Respondents: 56.
Note: 56 is the number of State
Library Administrative Agencies
(SLAAs) that are responsible for the
collection of this information and for
reporting it to IMLS. In gathering this
information, the SLAAs will request
that their sub-entities (i.e., public
libraries in their respective States and
Outlying Areas) provide information to
the respective SLAA. As the number of
sub-entities and questions varies from
SLAA to SLAA, it is difficult to assess
the exact number of burden hours and
costs.
Frequency: Annually.
Burden hours per respondent: 91.32.
Total burden hours: 5,113.92.
Total Annualized capital/startup
costs: n/a.
Total Annual Costs: $142,882.92.
Dated: August 11, 2016.
