Request abstract:
In this clearance submission (3137-0107) and justification, IMLS is requesting approval of non-substantive changes to a previously approved clearance for the FY2022-2024 Museums Empowered, a discretionary grant program that supports the Nation’s museums. The changes consist of:
Updating the application due date, date of notification of award decisions, and beginning date of period of performance
Updating the number of anticipated awards and average amount of funding to reflect the actuals of FY2022 (Section B)
Making minor copyedits and formatting enhancements to clarify project expectations and instructions for producing a complete application (Section A2, Appendix Three), SAM requirements (Appendix Two), and use of the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate (Appendix Three)
Replacing references to the DUNS number with references to the UEI (Section D4, Appendix Two)
Adding a list of options from which applicants choose keywords for their Abstracts (Appendix Seven). This brings applications into alignment with the OMB-approved Final Performance Report Forms (3137-0100, expiration date 3/31/2025).
Burden Estimate:
The respondent burden remains the same.
