IMLS requests clearance for the forms
it uses for all of the grant program applications, post-award
reporting, and peer reviewer applications. These forms are directly
related to the generic clearance for IMLS grant application and
award processes (3137-0029) for which a three-year extension is
being submitted at this time.
The IMLS burden may change
slightly from year to year as new needs are identified and
priorities shift in response to appropriations and to changes in
the museum and library environments. Programs may be added,
enlarged, reduced, or discontinued.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
