Current Actions: This notice proposes the clearance of the IMLS
Grants to States Program State Reporting System, Including Site Visit
Checklist. The Grants to States program is the largest source of
Federal funding support for library services in the U.S. Using a
population-based formula, more than $160 million is distributed among
the State Library Administrative Agencies (SLAAs) every year. SLAAs are
official agencies charged by the Library Services and Technology Act
(20 U.S.C. 9121 and 20 U.S.C. 9141) with the extension and development
of library services, and they are located in each of the 50 States of
the United States, the District of Columbia, the five Territories of
Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth
of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the
three Freely Associated States of Federated States of Micronesia,
Republic of Palau, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands.
Each State Library Administrative Agency (SLAA) is required, under
20 U.S.C. 9101 et seq. (in particular 20 U.S.C. 9134), to submit a plan
that details library services goals for a five-year period, along with
associated certifications. Pursuant to 20 U.S.C. 9134 (c), each SLAA
that receives an IMLS grant under the Grants to States program is
required to evaluate and report on all funded project activities to
IMLS, prior to the end of the execution of its five-year plan. Each
SLAA receives IMLS funding to support activities for the five-year
period through a series of overlapping two-year grant awards. Each SLAA
must file interim and final financial reports, and final performance
reports for each of these two-year grants through IMLS's State Program
Report (SPR) system. This action is to incorporate a Site Visit
Checklist as a stand-alone form in the SPR system, which has an OMB
Control Number of 3137-0071, expiring 8/31/2024. The 60-day Notice was
published in the Federal Register on May 3, 2022 (87 FR 26231). The
