Certificates of Indemnity submitted to
the Federal Council on the Arts and the
Humanities, for exhibitions beginning
on or after March 21, 2022. Because the
meeting will consider proprietary
financial and commercial data provided
in confidence by indemnity applicants,
and material that is likely to disclose
trade secrets or other privileged or
confidential information, and because it
is important to keep the values of
objects to be indemnified and the
methods of transportation and security
measures confidential, I have
determined that that the meeting will be
closed to the public pursuant to
subsection (c)(4) of section 552b of title
5, United States Code. I have made this
determination under the authority
granted me by the Chairman’s
Delegation of Authority to Close

The Institute of Museum and
Library Services (IMLS), as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to
provide the general public and federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act. This pre-clearance
consultation program helps to ensure
that requested data can be provided in
the desired format, reporting burden
(time and financial resources) is
minimized, collection instruments are
clearly understood, and the impact of
collection requirements on respondents
can be properly assessed. The purpose
of this Notice is to solicit comments

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. To
learn more, visit www.imls.gov.
II. Current Actions
IMLS began making awards to
improve core services in Native
American and Native Hawaiian libraries
in 1998 and to sustain heritage, culture,
and knowledge in Native American and
Native Hawaiian communities through
museum services in 2005. The proposed
evaluation of IMLS’s four grant
programs specifically designed and
congressionally mandated to serve
Native American, Native Hawaiian, and
Alaska Native communities will be the
first comprehensive consideration of
this suite of grant programs. The
evaluation will employ a mixed
methods approach to assess the fit
between these IMLS grant programs and
the expressed needs of the communities
they are serving; identify gaps in
reaching potential grant applicants;
examine the differences among those
who apply and are funded, those who
apply and are not funded, and those
who do not apply; assess the impact of
IMLS’s grant programs on awardees; and
assess the performance of IMLS as a
federal grant-maker and how well it
aligns with White House and
Congressional priorities.
