SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Institute of Museum and Library Services 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.

II. Current Actions
Pursuant to Public Law 107-279, the State Library Administrative
Agency (SLAA) Survey collects biennial descriptive data on the universe
of SLAAs in the United States. SLAAs are the official agencies of each
state charged by state law with the extension and development of public
library services throughout the state. (20 U.S.C. Chapter 72, Sec.
9122). This survey aims to provide state and federal policymakers with
information about SLAAs, including their governance, allied operations,
developmental services to libraries and library systems, support of
electronic information networks and resources, number and types of
outlets, and direct services to the public. Because the FY 2022
collection will not begin until early 2023, we are carrying over the
documentation and estimated burden associated with the FY 2020 data.
This action is to request a new three-year clearance of the State
Library Administrative Agency (SLAA) Survey for FY 2022-FY 2024.
