necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;

burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     Minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology (e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Institute of Museum and Library Services 
(IMLS) is the primary source of federal support for the nation's 
libraries and museums. We advance, support, and empower America's 
museums, libraries, and related organizations through grant making, 
research, and policy development. To learn more, visit www.imls.gov.
    Current Actions: The purpose of this collection is to facilitate 
the administration of IMLS discretionary grant programs by creating a 
record of all IMLS-funded project activities, results, and 
accomplishments at annual intervals throughout the grant period and at 
the conclusion of each award; accounts of best practices and lessons 
learned; and assessments of performance measurement. Although specific 
goals, objectives, and eligibility criteria vary among the agency's 
grant programs, using standardized performance report forms helps 
ensure consistent information collection, systematic monitoring 
practices, and comparable analyses of performance. IMLS uses this 
information to monitor individual grants, report to Congress and the 
Office of Management and Budget about the agency's progress in 
addressing its strategic goals, and to improve its grant programs. The 
forms submitted for public review in this Notice are the IMLS Interim 
Performance Report Form and the IMLS Final Performance Report Form. 
This action is to seek approval for these two forms for the next three 
years.
