Abstract:
The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) requests an approval of a renewal of the three-year clearance for the agency’s information collection requests for the State Reporting System for the Grants to States (G2S) Program under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). Each State Library Administrative Agency (SLAA) is required, under 20 U.S.C. § 9101 et seq. (in particular 20 U.S.C. § 9134), to submit a plan that details library services goals for a five-year period, along with associated certifications. Pursuant to 20 U.S.C. § 9134 (c), each SLAA that receives an IMLS grant under the G2S Program is required to evaluate and report on all funded project activities to IMLS, prior to the end of the execution of its five-year plan. Each SLAA receives IMLS funding to support activities for the five-year period through a series of overlapping two-year grant awards. Each SLAA must file interim and final financial reports, and final performance reports for each of these two-year grants through IMLS’s State Program Reporting (SPR) system. The performance reports incorporate performance measures to track participants’ outcomes when attribution claims are defensible based on a combination of the project’s activity mode and beneficiary type. These forms and materials were approved by OMB on 6/11/2018 and are being submitted with minor updates intended to increase efficiencies and minimize confusion, based on feedback from SLAAs.
