Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 95 / Tuesday, May 16, 2000 / Notices 31195

located at 200 Constitution Avenue

NW., Washington, DC. The meeting is

open to the public and will begin at 9:00

a.m. lasting until approximately 4 p.m.

However, if work is completed earlier

on the draft report the committee will be

working on, the meeting may end

sooner.

During this November 1998 meeting,

NACOSH decided that one of its areas

of activity over the next two years

would be to study OSHA’s standards

development process. The Committee

has now completed its study after

holding panel discussions during the

last four meetings involving internal

staff and members of the public who

were involved with the OSHA standards

setting process. This included people

who had been involved with the

development of the methylene chloride

standard; those who had served on two

types of advisory committees;

representatives of consensus standards

setting organizations and other

professional associations; and

representatives of other Federal

regulatory agencies. During its June 6

meeting, the committee will be going

over the final draft report and

recommendations in full detail. It is

difficult to estimate how long this will

take.

The only other agenda item will be an

overview of current activities of the

Occupational Safety and Health

Administration (OSHA) and the

National Institute for Occupational

Safety and Health (NIOSH) which will

be the first agenda item.

Written data, views or comments for

consideration by the committee may be

submitted, preferably with 20 copies, to

Joanne Goodell at the address provided

below. Any such submissions received

prior to the meeting will be provided to

the members of the Committee and will

be included in the record of the

meeting. Because of the need to cover a

wide variety of subjects in a short

period of time, there is usually

insufficient time on the agenda for

members of the public to address the

committee orally. However, any such

requests will be considered by the Chair

who will determine whether or not time

permits. Any request to make an oral

presentation should state the amount of

time desired, the capacity in which the

person would appear, and a brief

outline of the content of the

presentation. Individuals with

disabilities who need special

accommodations should contact Veneta

Chatmon (phone: 202–693–1912; FAX:

202–693–1634) one week before the

meeting.

An official record of the meeting will

be available for public inspection in the

OSHA Technical Data Center (TDC)

located in Room N2625 of the

Department of Labor Building (202–

693–2350). For additional information

proposed collection of information

including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used;

• Enhance the quality, utility and

clarity of the information to be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Institute of Museum and Library

Services is an independent Federal

grant-making agency. The IMLS

provides a variety of grant programs to

assist the nation’s museums and

libraries in improving their operations

and enhancing their services to the

public. Museums and libraries of all

sizes and types may receive support

from IMLS programs. The Museum and

Library Services Act of 1996 includes a

strong emphasis on supporting library

services through the use of technology

and on assisting museums in their

educational role and in modernizing

their methods and facilities. This

solicitation is to develop plans to collect

information to assist IMLS in

understanding the current status and

capacity of museums and libraries to

participate in national networks to

deliver educational resources to

students, life-long learners, underserved

populations, and the general public.

II. Current Actions

The core duties of the Institute of

Museum and Library Services, as stated

in its strategic plan, are to promote

excellence in library services and to

promote access to museum and library

services for a diverse public. This goal

will be accomplished in part by

promoting access to learning and

information resources held by museums

and libraries through electronic

linkages. IMLS is seeking assistance in

developing specific plans to collect

information from the US library and

museum communities to assess the

digitization readiness and capacity of

libraries and the technological readiness

and capacity of museums. These

information collections will be

developed based on the varying

characteristics of each community. A

great deal of information has been

collected on the internet access of

libraries for internal and public access.

The information IMLS collects should

build on but not duplicate existing or

ongoing collections.
