information collection has been
classified as a revision, because the
agency is clarifying questions and
disclosures. The Black Lung Benefits
Act authorizes this information
collection. See 30 U.S.C. 922.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1240–0020. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. New
requirements would only take effect
upon OMB approval. For additional
substantive information about this ICR,
see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on October 13, 2017
(82 FR 47772).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within thirty (30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB Control Number
1240–0020. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• 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 collection 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 submission of
responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Telephone Point of Purchase Survey
(TPOPS) information collection. The
BLS administers the survey quarterly
via a computer-assisted-telephoneinterview. This survey is flexible and
creates the possibility of introducing
new products into the CPI in a timely
manner. The data collected in this
survey are necessary for the continuing
construction of a current outlet universe
from which locations are selected for
the price collection needed for
calculating the CPI. Furthermore, the
TPOPS provides the weights used in
selecting the items that are priced at
these establishments. This sample
design produces an overall CPI market
basket that is more reflective of the
prices faced and the establishments
visited by urban consumers. The BLS
Authorizing Statute authorizes this
information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 2.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is

and displays a currently valid OMB

obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1220–0044. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
March 31, 2018; however, the DOL
notes that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.

I. Background
The Institute of Museum and Library
Services is the primary source of federal
support for the nation’s approximately
120,000 libraries and 35,000 museums
and related organizations. Our mission
is to inspire libraries and museums to
advance innovation, lifelong learning,
and cultural and civic engagement. Our
grant making, policy development, and
research help libraries and museums

II. Current Actions
This action is to renew the forms and
instructions for the IMLS Grants to
States Program ‘‘Five Year State Plan

The Grants to States program is the
largest source of Federal funding
support for library services in the U.S.
Using a population based formula, more
than $150 million is distributed among
the State Library Administrative
Agencies (SLAAs) every year. SLAAs
are official agencies charged by law with
the extension and development of
library services, and they are located in:
• Each of the 50 States of the United
States, and the District of Columbia;
• The Territories (the Commonwealth
of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands,
Guam, American Samoa, and the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands); and
• The Freely Associated States (the
Republic of the Marshall Islands, the
Federated States of Micronesia, and the
Republic of Palau).
Each year, over 1,500 Grants to States
projects support the purposes and
priorities outlined in the Library
Services and Technology Act (LSTA).
(See 20 U.S.C. 9121 et seq.) SLAAs may
use the funds to support statewide
initiatives and services, and they may
