Office hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., ET, Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: IMLS is the primary source of federal support for the Nation's 123,000 libraries and 35,000 museums. IMLS' mission is to inspire libraries and museums to advance innovation, learning, and civic engagement. IMLS works at the national level and in coordination with state and local organizations to sustain heritage, culture, and knowledge; enhance learning and innovation; and support professional development. IMLS is responsible for identifying national needs for and trends in museum, library, and information services; measuring and reporting on the impact and effectiveness of museum, library and information services throughout the United States, including programs conducted with funds made available by IMLS; identifying, and disseminating information on, the best practices of such programs; and developing plans to improve museum, library, and information services of the United States and strengthen national, State, local, regional, and international communications and cooperative networks (20 U.S.C. Chapter 72, 20 U.S.C. 9108). Abstract: The Public Libraries Survey (PLS) has been conducted by IMLS under the clearance number 3137-0074, which expires 12/31/2016. The PLS collects annual descriptive data on the universe of public libraries in the United States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas. Information such as public service hours per year, circulation of library books, number of librarians, population of legal service area, expenditures for library collection, programs for children and young adults, staff salary data, and access to technology, etc., would be collected. Current Actions: This notice proposes clearance of the PLS. The 60- day notice for the PLS, FY 2016-2018, was published in the Federal Register on August 16, 2016, (FR vol. 81, No. 158, pgs. 54608-54609). There were no comments received under this notice. Agency: Institute of Museum and Library Services. Title: Public Libraries Survey, FY 2016--FY 2018. OMB Number: 3137-0074. Agency Number: 3137. Affected Public: State and local governments, State library administrative agencies, and public libraries. Number of Respondents: 56. Note: 56 is the number of State Library Administrative Agencies (SLAAs) that are responsible for the collection of this information and for reporting it to IMLS. In gathering this information, the SLAAs will request that their sub-entities (i.e., public libraries in their respective states and outlying areas) provide information to the respective SLAA. As the number of sub-entities and questions varies from SLAA to SLAA, it is difficult to assess the exact number of burden hours and costs. Frequency: Annually. Burden hours per respondent: 104.98. Total burden hours: 5,878.88. Total Annualized capital/startup costs: n/a. Total Annual Costs: $164,255.91. Total Annual Federal Costs: $925,193.00.
