SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For the
nation’s 123,000 school, public,
research and academic libraries and the
millions of Americans that they serve, it
is vital that libraries have the high speed
internet connections the public
demands for educational, cultural,
health and workforce information and
services. Presidential initiatives like
Connect-Ed and the FCC Chairman’s
call for modernization of the E-rate
program have put a spotlight on the
urgency to equip schools and libraries
with high speed broadband connections.
The Institute of Museum and Library
Services (IMLS) has primary
responsibility for the development and
implementation of policy to ensure the
availability of museum, library and
information services adequate to meet
the essential information, education,
research, economic, cultural and civic
needs of the people of the United States.
See 20 U.S.C. Section 9103(c)(1). In
carrying out this responsibility, IMLS is
authorized to engage with Federal,
State, and local government agencies
and private entities in assessing current
needs and coordinating the
development of plans, policies, and
activities to meet such needs effectively.
Id. at Section (c)(2). Pursuant to the
authority granted in 20 U.S.C. Section
9110, IMLS is conducting this public
hearing for the purpose of establishing
a public record specifically focused on
the need for and impact of high speed
broadband connectivity in America’s
libraries.
The Institute will hear from witnesses
on the following topics:
Panel One: The Vision, What’s
Working: This panel will explore
innovative practices and partnerships

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
Research Performance Progress
Report Updates
AGENCY:
National Science Foundation
(NSF).
ACTION:
Request for public comment.
The Research Performance
Progress Report (RPPR) for use with
interim progress reports resulted from
an initiative of the Research Business
Models (RBM) Subcommittee of the
Committee on Science (CoS), a
committee of the National Science and
Technology Council (NSTC). The
updated RPPR will directly benefit
award recipients by making it easier for
them to administer Federal grant and
cooperative agreement programs
through standardization of the types of
information required in interim and
final performance reports—thereby
reducing their administrative effort and
costs. The RPPR will also make it easier
to compare the outputs, outcomes, etc.
of research programs across the
government.
SUMMARY:
Comments must be received by
May 12, 2014.
