Abstract:
Per 20 U.S.C. Section 9134, State Library Administrative Agencies [SLAA] must submit Five Year Plans with specific goals and activities on which they will expend their annual state grant. 20 U.S.C 9134(c) specifies that "Each [SLAA] receiving a grant under this subchapter shall independently evaluate, and report to the Director regarding, the activities assisted under this subchapter, prior to the end of the 5-year plan.” The attached Guidelines are basis on which evaluation occurs. In this clearance submission (3137-0090) and justification, IMLS is requesting approval of non-substantive changes to a previously approved clearance for the Guidelines for IMLS Grants to States Five-Year Evaluation, a statutory requirement. IMLS’s authorizing legislation (20 U.S.C. § 9134) directs State Library Administrative Agencies (SLAAs) to “independently evaluate, and report to the Director regarding, the activities assisted under this subchapter, prior to the end of the Five-Year Plan.” This evaluation provides SLAAs an opportunity to measure progress in meeting the goals set in their approved Five-Year Plans with a framework to synthesize information across all state reports in telling a national story. The changes consist of: • Updating the five-year cycle date references from 2018-2022 to 2023-2027; • Adding five-year cycle date references in place of more vague references such as “last” and “new;” • Updating the due date from March 30, 2022 to March 30, 2027 • Updating the beneficiary category “ethnic or minority populations” to “individuals from racial or ethnic minority populations;” • Updating “you” references in the Process and Methodology questions to explicitly reference either the State Library Administrative Agency (SLAA) or the independent evaluator; • Splitting one of the multi-part Process questions into two separate questions; • Moving one of the Methodology questions into the Process questions section, where it conceptually fits better; • Updating references to the Methodology and Process questions to reflect the new numbering; and • Making minor copyedits to clarify instructions.
