The Institute of Museum and Library
Services (IMLS) requests a three-year renewal clearance for the
IMLS Grant Performance Report Forms. IMLS uses standardized
performance report forms for libraries, museums, and other
organizations that receive funding through its competitive
discretionary grant programs. The forms submitted for public review
in this Notice are the Interim and Final Performance Report Forms.
The current clearance expires on March 31, 2022.
The change in burden is due to
salary increases, the increased number of respondents from 2019 to
2021, and the added requirement to report on performance
measurements. Overall, the burden estimate also represents time
savings that we deem likely to result from the ability of awardees
able to submit their reports directly online and the ability of our
system to autofill much of the metadata associated with each
award.
