Abstract: The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) requests clearance for the 2024 IMLS 21st Century Museum Professionals new grant program Notice of Funding Opportunity under the Paperwork Reduction Act.

In this clearance submission (3137-0135) and justification, IMLS requests approval of non-substantive changes to a previously approved clearance for the 21st Century Museum Professionals Program Notice of Funding Opportunity. These changes consist of: • Updating document formatting and section ordering to comply with 2 CFR 200 NOFO simplification requirements • Removing redundant content • Copy-editing for plain language.
