Current Actions: This Notice proposes the approval of the IMLS Evaluation of Grant Programs Funded by the ARPA and the CARES Act. In direct response to the COVID–19 pandemic, IMLS awarded roughly $250 million in ARPA and CARES Act funds to State Library Administrative Agencies, libraries, and museums. The proposed information collection covers the four largest funding programs, which account for about 99% of funding: Grants to State ARPA State Grants, Grants to State CARES Act State Grants, CARES Act Grants for Museums and Libraries, and American Rescue Plan for Museums and Libraries. Given their more targeted focus, the American Rescue Plan for Native American/Native Hawaiian Museum and Library Services CARES Act Grants for Museums and Libraries and CARES Act Grants for Native American/Native Hawaiian Museum and Library Services programs will be studied separately from this proposed information collection with special emphasis placed on using culturally responsive evaluation methods. The proposed evaluation of IMLS’s ARPA and CARES Act grant programs will include a review of the relevant administrative processes and the distribution and use of the funds in order to improve the agency’s understanding of the effectiveness of the program and the lessons learned, identify gaps and needs in continuing post-recovery, and improve or inform future design, technical support, and distribution of special use funds as part of an overall emergency response plan. This study will include conducting 75 semi-structured interviews (73 individual interviews, 2 group interviews, totaling 75 interviews and 79 expected participants) coupled with a secondary data collection effort of reviewing library and museum administrative data, ARPA and CARES Act grant programs awardee reporting, and a literature review. The 60-day Notice was published in the Federal Register on July 28, 2023 (Vol. 88, No. 144). The agency received no comments under this notice. Agency: Institute of Museum and Library Services.
