SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Public Comment Procedures We are publishing notice of records schedules in which agencies propose to dispose of records they no longer need to conduct agency business. We invite public comments on these records schedules, as required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a), and list the schedules at the end of this notice by agency and subdivision requesting disposition authority. In addition, this notice lists the organizational unit(s) accumulating the records or states that the schedule has agency-wide applicability. It also provides the control number assigned to each schedule, which you will need if you submit comments on that schedule. We have uploaded the records schedules and accompanying appraisal memoranda to the regulations.gov docket for this notice as ‘‘other’’ documents. Each records schedule contains a full description of the records at the file unit level as well as their proposed disposition. The appraisal memorandum for the schedule includes information about the records. We will post comments, including any personal information and attachments, to the public docket unchanged. Because comments are public, you are responsible for ensuring that you do not include any confidential or other information that you or a third party may not wish to be publicly posted. If you want to submit a comment with confidential information or cannot otherwise use the regulations.gov portal, you may contact request.schedule@nara.gov for instructions on submitting your comment. We will consider all comments submitted by the posted deadline and consult as needed with the Federal agency seeking the disposition authority. After considering comments, we may or may not make changes to the proposed records schedule. The schedule is then sent for final approval by the Archivist of the United States. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:10 Apr 16, 2024 Jkt 262001 After the schedule is approved, we will post on regulations.gov a ‘‘Consolidated Reply’’ summarizing the comments, responding to them, and noting any changes we made to the proposed schedule. You may elect at regulations.gov to receive updates on the docket, including an alert when we post the Consolidated Reply, whether or not you submit a comment. If you have a question, you can submit it as a comment, and can also submit any concerns or comments you would have to a possible response to the question. We will address these items in consolidated replies along with any other comments submitted on that schedule. We will post schedules on our website in the Records Control Schedule (RCS) Repository, at https:// www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/rcs, after the Archivist approves them. The RCS contains all schedules approved since 1973. Background Each year, Federal agencies create billions of records. To control this accumulation, agency records managers prepare schedules proposing retention periods for records and submit these schedules for NARA’s approval. Once approved by NARA, records schedules provide mandatory instructions on what happens to records when no longer needed for current Government business. The records schedules authorize agencies to preserve records of continuing value in the National Archives or to destroy, after a specified period, records lacking continuing administrative, legal, research, or other value. Some schedules are comprehensive and cover all the records of an agency or one of its major subdivisions. Most schedules, however, cover records of only one office or program or a few series of records. Many of these update previously approved schedules, and some include records proposed as permanent. Agencies may not destroy Federal records without the approval of the Archivist of the United States. The Archivist grants this approval only after thorough consideration of the records’ administrative use by the agency of origin, the rights of the Government and of private people directly affected by the Government’s activities, and whether or not the records have historical or other value. Public review and comment on these records schedules is part of the Archivist’s consideration process. Schedules Pending 1.

    The Collections Assessment for Preservation (CAP) program allows up 
to two qualified conservators, who serve as assessors, to study all a 
museum's collections, buildings and building systems, as well as its 
policies and procedures relating to collections care. Participants who

    The purpose of this Notice is to solicit comments concerning the 
three-year approval of the seven forms necessary to support the 
administration and implementation of the IMLS Collections Assessment 
for Preservation (CAP) program. These are Application Forms to collect 
information about museums that wish to be considered for participation 
in the program; an Assessor Application Form to collect information 
necessary to determine whether potential assessors have sufficient 
qualifications to participate in the program; a Site Questionnaire to 
provide more detailed information about a museum to prepare for its 
assessment once it is accepted for participation in the program; an 
Application Feedback Form for museums to share information about how 
they heard about the program and to provide feedback about the 
application process; an Assessor Feedback Form for assessors to share 
their experiences with the CAP assessment; a Participant Feedback Form 
to help IMLS and the program administrator gain a better understanding 
of the experience of museums after participating in the program and to 
help improve the program for future years; and a Follow-Up Survey for 
CAP participants to share their longer-term experiences as a result of 
program participation to help IMLS and the program administrator make 
improvements over time.
    These forms are used by the administrator of the CAP program and 
are necessary to support the management of the program and ongoing 
improvements to the services it provides. These are web-based forms 
that can be completed online via application software and SurveyMonkey, 
allowing faster response and reducing participant burden. Paper 
versions of the forms can be made available for small museums that may

    Each application cycle to the CAP program engages new participating 
museums, therefore requiring the use of the forms for every 
participant. Assessor Application Forms need only be filled out once by
