The National Foundation for the Arts and the Humanities 2015 – 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 (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 proposed information collection to enable the museum community and members of the public to provide input into IMLS's ongoing effort to provide accurate information about currently operating museums throughout the United States. A copy of the proposed information collection request can be obtained by contacting the individual listed below in the ADDRESSES section of this notice.
