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 Grants to States program is the
largest grant program administered by
IMLS, providing financial assistance to
develop library services throughout the
States, U.S. Territories, and the Freely
Associated States. To receive funds
under the Grants to States program, each
established State Library Administrative
Agency (SLAA) must submit to the
Director of IMLS a Five-Year State Plan
detailing certain goals, assurances, and
procedures for a five-year period. 20
U.S.C. 9134(a). The upcoming five-year
period will cover federal fiscal years
2023–2027, with Five-Year State Plans

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 213 / Tuesday, November 3, 2020 / Notices
due to IMLS on June 30, 2022.
Guidelines for the Five-Year State Plans
have already been developed and
approved by OMB, and this update to
the guidelines will incorporate the latest
language from the revised Museum and
Library Services Act of 2018. This
language does not substantively change
the guidelines but reflects minor
updates to the purposes of the LSTA, to
which the SLAAs must adhere when
creating goals for the new Five-Year
State Plans.
The Five-Year State Plan identifies a
State’s library needs, sets forth the
activities to be taken toward meeting the
identified needs supported with the
assistance of Federal funds made
available under the Library Services and
Technology Act (‘‘LSTA’’), and provides
assurances that the officially designated
SLAA has the fiscal and legal authority
and capability to administer all aspects
of any award under the Grants to States
program. 20 U.S.C. 9122(5). The FiveYear State Plan must also provide
assurances for establishing the State’s
policies, priorities, criteria and
procedures necessary to the
implementation of all programs under
the LSTA. 20 U.S.C. 9122(5).
This action is to renew the forms and
instructions for the IMLS Grants to
States Program Five-Year State Plan
Guidelines for State Library
Administrative Agencies for the next
three years.
