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 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). 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. By this notice, IMLS is soliciting comments concerning a primary reference source of reliable, comprehensive data on the museum sector and to provide the public, policy makers, researchers and the museum field itself with quality data for strategic decision-making. A copy of the proposed information collection request can be obtained by contacting the individual listed below in the ADDRESSES section of this notice.
