Institute of Museum and Library Services April 2, 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance 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. This action is to create the overall evaluation plan, survey and data collection instruments and instructions for the various evaluation techniques to be used at different points in the development and implementation of the MDL pilot initiative for the next two years. A copy of the proposed information collection request can be obtained by contacting the individual listed below in the ADDRESSES section of this notice.
