will be made to include expertise from

organization. To be considered for the 

EAC, nominators should submit the

applicable), and relevant contact 

information (including phone, mailing 

address, and email address) of the 

individual being nominated;

publicly available sources. 

All members of the EAC will be 

independent of MCC, representing the 

views and interests of their respective 

institution or area of expertise and not 

serving as special government 

employees. All members will serve 

without compensation. The duties of the 

EAC are solely advisory and any 

determinations to be made or actions to 

be taken on the basis of EAC advice will 

be made or taken by appropriate officers 

of MCC. 

A selection team will review the 

nomination packages and make 

recommendations regarding 

membership to the MCC Vice President 

of the Department of Policy and 

Evaluation (or the person acting in such 

capacity) based on criteria including: (1) 

professional experience and knowledge; 

(2) academic field and expertise; (3) 

experience within regions in which 

MCC works; (4) contribution of diverse 

regional or technical professional 

perspectives; and (5) availability and 

willingness to serve. Based upon the 

selection team’s recommendations, the 

MCC Vice President of the Department 

of Policy and Evaluation (or the person 

acting in such capacity) will select 

representatives. 

In the selection of members for the 

EAC, MCC will seek to ensure a 

balanced representation and consider a 

cross-section of those directly affected, 

interested, and qualified, as appropriate 

to the nature and functions of the EAC. 

Nominees selected for appointment to 

the EAC will be notified by email and 

receive a letter of appointment. 

Nominations are open to all

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: IMLS is

advance, support, and empower 

America’s museums, libraries, and

www.imls.gov. 

Current Actions: This Notice proposes 

the clearance of a new information 

collection—the National Museum 

Survey (NMS). As noted in the 60-day 

notice, IMLS will be conducting a 

voluntary survey of museums that aims 

to capture the scope and scale of 

museums’ presence and reach within 

the United States over time. 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. NMS data will be useful to 

museum practitioners, policymakers at 

the federal, state, and local levels, the 

public, researchers, and journalists, and 

will be used for planning, research, 

evaluation, and policymaking. 

The 60-day Notice was published in 

the Federal Register on April 30, 2024 

[89 FR 34277 (Document Number 2024– 

09276)]. We received one comment 

under this Notice. That comment came 

from a representative of the American 

Library Association who wanted to 

ensure that museums located within 

libraries were included in, and eligible 

for, the NMS. The representative 

subsequently provided a list of such 

institutions for IMLS to cross-reference 

against the agency’s list of museums to 

whom the NMS will be administered. 

Any such institutions that were not 

already included were added to IMLS’ 

list. 

Agency: Institute of Museum and 

Library Services.

operation or by appointment.
