Abstract: The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) requests extension of the generic clearance for all the agency’s information collection requests (excluding surveys, evaluations, and data calls used for policy-making purposes) for its grant program processes under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The information collections in this package includes the IMLS Program Information Form and instructions. IMLS is requesting an emergency clearance necessary to apply for IMLS support as part of the agency’s CARES Act Grants for Museums and Libraries and for Native American/Native Hawaiian Museum and Library Services.

Emergency Justfication: In this emergency clearance submission (3137-XXXX) justification, IMLS is requesting approval of an abbreviated Program Information Form. IMLS created an abbreviated Program Information Form that will be used by all applicants to both new initiatives. Its content is greatly reduced from the current OMB-cleared, Grants.gov form, IMLS Museum Program Information Form (OMB Control #: 3137-0092). Because there is not enough time to create another more generic Grants.gov Program Information Form, we will create a fillable PDF that applicants will download from our website as they do our IMLS Budget Form and our Digital Product Form.
