Abstract: The CAP program allows up to two qualified conservators, who serve as assessors, to study of all of a museum’s collections, buildings, and building systems, as well as its policies and procedures relating to collections care. Participants who complete the program receive a report prepared by the assessor(s) with prioritized recommendations to improve collections care. The purpose of this information collection is to support the administration and implementation of the CAP program by IMLS with FAIC (cooperator). The seven forms submitted for public review in this Notice are: 1. An Application Form to collect information about museums that wish to be considered for enrollment in the program; 2. An Assessor Application Form to collect information necessary to determine whether potential conservators/assessors have sufficient qualifications to participate in the program; and 3. A Site Questionnaire to provide more detailed information about a museum to prepare for its assessment once it is accepted for participation in the program. Four forms to collect feedback from participating museums and conservator/assessors following their participation in the program: 4. An Application Feedback Form for museums to share information about how they heard about the program and to provide feedback about the application process; 5. An Assessor Feedback Form for conservators/assessors to share their experiences with the CAP assessment; 6. A Participant Feedback Form to help IMLS and the program administrator gain a better understanding of the experience of museums after participating in the program and to help improve the program for future years; and 7. A Follow-Up Survey for CAP participants to share their longer-term experiences as a result of program participation to help IMLS and the program administrator make improvements over time. This action is to request approval for using the forms for the next three years.
