AGENCY: Institute of Museum Services.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This notice announces that

proposed information collection prior to

submitting it to the Office of

Management and Budget for review. The

collection is entitled ‘‘Status of

Educational Programming Between

Museums and Schools.’’

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before July 22, 1996.

ADDRESS: Submit written comments to:

Rebecca Danvers, Program Director,

Institute of Museum Services, 1100

Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington,

DC 20506. Comments may also be

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Submit requests for more information,

collection of information and

Program Office, Institute of Museum

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Information Collection Request

IMS is seeking comments on the

following Information Collection

Request.

Title: ‘‘Status of Educational

Programming Between Museums and

Schools.’’

Affected Entities: Parties affected by

this information collection are museum

educators.

Abstract: IMS supports museum

school partnerships for K–12 school

children through the Museum

Leadership Initiative program. In the fall

of 1995, IMS sponsored a conference on

museum school partnerships.

Information about the projects IMS has

supported and on selected conference

proceedings will be published and

disseminated widely to the museum and

school communities. IMS also intends

to collect, analyze and disseminate data

to document the current status of

educational programming activity

between museums and schools.

Currently, no body of data exists to

identify how museums are interacting

with schools to advance the education

of the nation’s school age population.

Therefore, we propose to survey a

portion of the museum community with

a brief questionnaire to collect this

information. The data collection is

intended to provide the basis of

statistical conclusions about the nature

and level of educational programming

between museums and schools, but

rather is to illustrate the current status

and the possibilities for further

development.

Burden Statement: For this collection,

the estimated average burden hours is .5

and the frequency of response is once.

The number of respondents is 500.

II. Request for Comments

IMS solicits comments to:

(i) 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.

(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the

agency’s estimates of the burden of the

proposed collection of information.

(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected.

(iv) Minimize the burden of the

collection of information on those who

are to respond, including through the

use of appropriate automated or

electronic collection technologies of

other forms of information technology,

e.g., permitting electronic submission of

responses.

III. Public Inspection

Information submitted as a comment

concerning this document may be

claimed confidential by marking any

part or all of that information as

Confidential Business Information (CBI).

Information so marked will not be

disclosed except in accordance with

procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.

A copy of the comment that does not

contain CBI must be submitted for

inclusion in the public record.

Information not marked confidential

may be disclosed publicly by IMS

without prior notice. All comments,

written and printed versions of

electronic comments, not including any

information claimed as CBI, are

available for inspection from 8:00 a.m.

to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday,
