To facilitate the administration of
the IMLS application and review processes for its discretionary
grants and cooperative agreements, IMLS uses standardized
application forms for eligible libraries, museums, and other
organizations to apply for its funding. The forms submitted for
public review in this Notice are the IMLS Library-Discretionary
Program Information Form, the IMLS Museum Program Information Form,
and the IMLS Supplementary Information Form. Beginning in FY2020,
IMLS implemented the eGMS (Electronic Grants Management System)
originally developed by the National Endowment for the Humanities
and now used also by the National Endowment for the Arts and IMLS.
The IMLS Library-Discretionary Program Information Form, the IMLS
Museum Program Information Form, and the IMLS Supplementary
Information Form are each included in one or more of the Grants.gov
application packages associated with IMLS grant programs, and they
automatically transmit data into eGMS through a system-to-system
interface. In this clearance submission (3137-0092) and
justification, IMLS requests approval of non-substantive changes to
a previously approved clearance for the Grant Application Forms.
The changes consist of: • Minor copy-edits to reflect updated goals
and objectives and related conditional logic in the forms.
The change in burden for
respondents reflects a more accurate assessment of the time
required to prepare each form, the integration of information
formerly requested via two forms into a single but more detailed
form, and increases in the mean hourly wage for library staff and
museum curators.
