Current Actions: This Notice proposes the clearance of the
Guidelines for IMLS Grants to States Five-Year Evaluation. 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 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. IMLS
authorizing legislation (20 U.S.C. 9134) directs SLAAs to
``independently evaluate, and report to the Director regarding, the
activities assisted under this subchapter, prior to the end of the
Five-Year Plan.'' This evaluation provides SLAAs an opportunity to
measure progress in meeting the goals set in their approved Five-Year
Plans with a framework to synthesize information across all state
reports in telling a national story. This action is to renew clearance
of the Guidelines for IMLS Grants to States Five-Year Evaluation for
the next three years. The 60-day Notice was published in the Federal
Register on June 10, 2022 (87 FR 35575).
