SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Institute of Museum and Library Services
(IMLS) is the primary source of federal support for the nation's
libraries and museums. We advance, support, and empower America's
museums, libraries, and related organizations through grant making,
research, and policy development. To learn more, visit <a href="http://www.imls.gov">www.imls.gov</a>.
Current Actions: The purpose of this collection is to facilitate
the administration of IMLS discretionary grant programs by creating a
record of all IMLS-funded project activities, results, and
accomplishments at annual intervals throughout the grant period and at
the conclusion of each award; accounts of best practices and lessons
learned; and assessments of performance measurement. Although specific
goals, objectives, and eligibility criteria vary among the agency's
grant programs, using standardized performance report forms helps
ensure consistent information collection, systematic monitoring
practices, and comparable analyses of performance. IMLS uses this
information to monitor individual grants, report to Congress and the
Office of Management and Budget about the agency's progress in
addressing its strategic goals, and to improve its grant programs. The
forms submitted for public review in this Notice are the IMLS Interim
Performance Report Form and the IMLS Final Performance Report Form.
This action is to seek approval for these two forms for the next three
years.
