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: This form and instructions were created to serve as part of the application package for two CARES Act grant programs (3137-0117 and 3137-0118). They were integral to agency efforts to help museums, libraries, Native American Tribes, and organizations that serve primarily Native Hawaiians respond to the coronavirus pandemic in ways that met the immediate and future COVID-19 needs of the communities they served. We received emergency clearance, and because the funding cycle is closed and we are no longer accepting applications for either of the associated grant programs, we wish now to reinstate the clearance so that we can properly request that the control number be discontinued.
