Issuing agencies

Abstract

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) announces that the following information collection request has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This annual survey will collect statistically valid data on the U.S. museum sector, which does not currently exist. The data will describe the scope, scale and nature of museums' presence and reach within the U.S. This 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. The purpose of this Notice is to solicit comments about this assessment process, instructions, and data collections. This is the second notice for public comment. A copy of the proposed information collection request can be obtained by contacting the individual listed below in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this Notice.
