The National Foundation for the Arts and the Humanities November 2011 – 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 the impacts of the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Grant Program. A copy of the proposed information collection request can be obtained by contacting the individual listed below in the addressee section of this notice.
