Semiannual Regulatory Agenda 

AGENCY: Institute of Museum and Library Services, NFAH. 

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Executive Order 12866 “Regulatory Planning and Review,” the Institute of

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy E. Weiss, General Counsel, Institute of Museum

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Beginning with the fall 2007 edition, the Internet will be the basic 

means for disseminating the Unified Agenda. The complete Unified Agenda will be available online at 

www.reginfo.gov, in a format that offers users a greatly enhanced ability to obtain information from the 

Agenda database. 

 Because publication in the Federal Register is mandated for the regulatory flexibility agendas 

required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602), Institute of Museum and Library Services’ printed 

agenda entries include only: 

(1) rules that are in the Agency’s regulatory flexibility agenda, in accordance with the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act, because they are likely to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 

small entities; and 

(2) any rules that the Agency has identified for periodic review under section 610 of the Regulatory 

 Flexibility Act. 

 Printing of these entries is limited to fields that contain information required by the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act’s Agenda requirements. Additional information on these entries is available in the Unified 

Agenda published on the Internet.
