The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is seeking public comments on renewing forms used to report on grant and cooperative agreement activities for the years 2025 to 2027. The forms are crucial for assessing the performance of IMLS-funded projects, and public input is desired to evaluate their necessity, accuracy, and to minimize the burden on respondents. Comments must be submitted by March 30, 2025, and can be directed to Julie Balutis at the IMLS. The proposed collection will impact libraries and museums, with a total annual cost burden estimated at $482,688.
Simple Explanation
The Institute of Museum and Library Services is asking people for their thoughts on forms used to check how well projects funded by them are doing from 2025 to 2027. They want to make sure the forms are easy to understand and not too hard to fill out, but there are questions about how they figured out the costs and how much work it takes to fill them out.
