SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Institute of Museum and Library Services 
is the primary source of federal support for the Nation's 123,000 
libraries and 35,000 museums. The Institute's mission is to inspire 
libraries and museums to advance innovation, learning and civic 
engagement. The Institute works at the national level and in 
coordination with state and local organizations to sustain heritage, 
culture, and knowledge; enhance learning and innovation; and support 
professional development. IMLS is responsible for identifying national 
needs for and trends in museum, library, and information services; 
measuring and reporting on the impact and effectiveness of museum, 
library and information services throughout the United States, 
including programs conducted with funds made available by IMLS; 
identifying, and disseminating information on, the best practices of 
such programs; and developing plans to improve museum, library and 
information services of the United States and strengthen national, 
State, local, regional, and international communications and 
cooperative networks (20 U.S.C. Chapter 72, 20 U.S.C. Sec.  9108).
    The purpose of this collection is to support Museums for All, a 
voluntary program to increase access to museums for underserved 
audiences. Through Museums for All, museums allow Electronic Benefit 
Transfer (EBT) card holders to receive reduced-price admission to their 
facilities. This information collection will obtain data from 
participating museums necessary to administer the program, such as 
institution contact information and a staff person to administer the 
program. Because this is a new program, additional information will be 
collected to assess implementation of the program components, the 
efficacy of Agency supplied materials, and the impact of the program.
