SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By this notice, IMLS is soliciting comments concerning a plan to conduct a needs assessment study entitled ‘‘Measures SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00094 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 that Matter: Assessing Public Library Activities Related to Workforce Development.’’ The study is intended to develop a meaningful approach to measuring the contributions of librarybased workforce development activities. It also is intended to assess whether this approach could be used to measure additional library activities that seek to contribute to other dimensions of social wellbeing in the nation’s communities. A copy of the proposed information collection request can be obtained by contacting the individual listed in the ADDRESSES section of this notice. 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 In partnership with the Chief Officers of State Library Associations (COSLA), IMLS launched Measures that Matter in 2016, an initiative for coordinating conversations about existing approaches to gathering and using data to improve alignment of public library services, programs, and collections with communities’ needs and emerging opportunities. An outgrowth of this effort, this proposed 18-month assessment seeks to pilot an approach for measuring the contributions of library-based workforce development activities and also for ascertaining whether this approach can be used for measuring other library activities intended to influence various dimensions of community wellbeing. This proposed investigation will identify a representative sample of libraries and complete case studies about them using a mix of research methods involving reviews of secondary and administrative data, surveys, interviews and focus groups. 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 collection of information E:\FR\FM\20AUN1.SGM 20AUN1
