SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Institute of Museum and Library
Services is the primary source of federal
support for the nation’s libraries and
museums. We advance, support, and
empower America’s museums, libraries,
and related organizations through grant
making, research, and policy
development. Our vision is a nation
where museums and libraries work
together to transform the lives of
individuals and communities. To learn
more, visit www.imls.gov.
II. Current Actions
The Museum Grants for African
American History and Culture (AAHC)
program is one of these six OIMLS
Office of Museum Services (OMS) grant
programs, and it was created by an Act
of Congress in 2003—the same act that
created the Smithsonian National
Museum of African American History
and Culture. This legislation directed
IMLS to create a grant program to
improve operations, care of collections,
and development of professional
management at African American
museums. Now in its 13th year of
funding grants, AAHC funds projects
that nurture museum professionals;
builds institutional capacity; and
increases access to museum and
archival collections at African American
museums and Historically Black
Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
Museums of all sizes and geographic
areas whose primary purpose, as
reflected in their mission is African
American art, life, history, and culture,
are eligible to apply for an AAHC grant.

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 166 / Tuesday, August 27, 2019 / Notices
The agency now seeks to undertake a
systematic assessment to evaluate the
performance of the AAHC grant
program. The proposed evaluation
approach is intended to provide a
reasonable balance between scientific
considerations for valid and reliable
evidence with stakeholder utilization of
the acquired knowledge. This
investigation is tended to inform IMLS
decision-making for current and future
grant-making in this grant program, as
well as for practices in this segment of
the museum sector.
This action is to create the survey
forms and instructions for the
assessment for the next three years.

II. Current Actions
Pursuant to Public Law 107–279, this
State Library Administrative Agencies
Survey has been conducted by the
Institute of Museum and Library
Services under the clearance number
3137–0072, which expires 01/31/2020.
State Library Administrative Agencies
(‘‘SLAAs’’) are the official agencies of
each state charged by state law with the
extension and development of public
library services throughout the state (20
U.S.C. 9122.) The purpose of this survey
is to provide state and federal
policymakers with information about
SLAAs, including their governance,
allied operations, developmental
services to libraries and library systems,
support of electronic information
networks and resources, number and
types of outlets, and direct services to
the public. Through the FY 2010
collection, the SLAA Survey was
conducted annually; beginning with the
FY 2012 collection, the survey is
conducted biennially. Because the FY
2020 collection will not begin until
early 2021, we are carrying over the
documentation and estimated burden
associated with the FY 2018 data.
This action is to create the survey
forms and instructions for the
assessment for the next three years.
