National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities September 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Institute of Museum and Library Services 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 of 1995 (PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3508(2)(A)]. This 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. Currently the Institute of Museum and Library Services is soliciting comments concerning the proposed study of museums and libraries providing youth development services under grants funded by IMLS. A copy of the proposed information collection request can be obtained by contacting the individual listed below in the addressee section of this notice.

The Institute of Museum and Library Services announces the following information collection has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). A copy of this proposed information collection request, with applicable supporting documentation, may be obtained by contacting the person as indicated in the Addresses section of the notice. The Institute of Museum and Library Services is seeking clearance for a collection of application information for Partnership for a Nation of Learners projects within the National Leadership Grant program.
