SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is an 
independent Federal grant-making agency and is the primary source of 
federal support for the Nation's 123,000 libraries and 35,000 museums. 
IMLS provides a variety of grant programs to assist the Nation's 
museums and libraries in improving their operations and enhancing their 
services to the public. The IMLS Grants to States program is the 
largest source of federal funding support for library services in the 
United States. Using a population-based formula, more than $150 million 
is distributed among the State Library Administrative Agencies.

II. Current Actions

    The Library Services and Technology Act requires each State Library 
Administrative Agency to submit a plan that details library services 
goals for a five-year period. Pursuant to 20 U.S.C. 9134, each State 
Library Administrative Agency (SLAA) that receives an IMLS grant under 
the Grants to States Program is required to evaluate and report to the 
agency, prior to the end of their five-year plan, regarding the 
activities assisted under the LSTA. Each SLAA receives IMLS funding to 
support the five year period through a series of overlapping two year 
grant awards. Each SLAA must file interim and final financial reports, 
as well as final performance reports for each of these two year grants 
through IMLS' State Program Reporting (SPR) system. The purpose of the 
proposed information collection is to enhance the reporting of the two 
year grants through enhanced evaluation and performance measures of 
beneficiaries.
