general public and federal agencies to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) [44
U.S.C. 3508 (2)(A)]. This pre-clearance
comment opportunity helps to ensure
that requested data can be provided in
the desired format, reporting burden
(time and financial resources) is
minimized, collection instruments are
clearly understood, and the impact of
collection requirements or respondents
can be properly assessed. The Institute
of Museum and Library Services is
currently soliciting comments
concerning its planned collection of
data to support discussion of current
public library evaluation practices for
summer reading programs.
A copy of the proposed information
collection request can be obtained by
contacting the individual listed below
in the addressee section of this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
addressee section below on or before
September 19, 2005.
IMLS is particularly interested in
comments that help the agency to:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collocation of information
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submissions of responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Background: The Institute of Museum
and Library Services is charged with
strengthening library services for the
benefit of the public. Under the
authority of the Library Services and
Technology Act IMLS provides formula-
PO 00000
Frm 00130
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
49683
based funds to each of the 50 state
library administrative agencies (SLAAs).
Public library summer reading programs
are common to all SLAAs and most of
the nation’s approximately 9,100 local
libraries. These programs are important
resources for education in the United
States and promote the vision of a
society in which learning is seen as a
community-wide responsibility
supported by both formal and informal
educational entities. While there is
strong conviction in the library field
that public library summer programs
foster reading skills, public libraries
collect little evaluative data.
Under its convening authority IMLS
will bring together 33 state and public
library professionals on September 8–9
to explore current evaluation practice
for public library summer reading
programs and to identify a small
number of common proxy measures for
the outcomes of library summer reading
programs. These measures will be
piloted in a Web-based data collection
and management resource for libraries
in summer 2006.
