the Internet, and of the impacts of 

having such information. 

II. Current Action 

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 online resources 

available through museums and 

libraries and to promote the 

development of online resources that 

have positive impact. IMLS is seeking 

assistance in developing specific plans 

to collect information from library users, 

museum users and Internet users to 

understand their information needs, 

their preference for various sources of 

information and factors affecting their 

choice, the usefulness and value of the 

information accessed, and to identify 

content that should be made available 

online along with mechanisms and 

resources needed to connect users to 

that content. These information 

collections will be developed based on 

the geographic location and 

demographic characteristics of the 

populations studied. Some information 

on online information access has been 

collected, most notably the Pew Internet 

and American Life project. The 

information IMLS collects should build 

on, but not duplicate, existing or 

ongoing collections.

AGENCY: Institute of Museum and

ACTION: Notice, Submission for OMB 

Approval. 

SUMMARY: The Institute of Museum and 

Library Services as part of its continuing 

effort to reduce paperwork and 

respondent burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to 

provide the general public and federal 

agencies with an opportunity to 

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing collections of information in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 

44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). This program 

helps to ensure that the 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. 

Currently the Institute of Museum and 

Library Services is soliciting comments 

concerning the proposed collection of 

information from grantee institutions 

that received National Leadership 

Program digitization grants since 1998 

and continuing through 2005. A copy of 

this proposed information collection 

may be obtained by contacting the 

individual listed in the addresses 

section of this notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received by the office listed in the 

addresses section of this notice by 

December 5, 2005. 

IMLS is particularly interested in 

comments that help the agency to: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses.
