{"abstract":"The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation to provide subject matter experts, the general public, and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This pre-clearance consultation practice helps ensure that requested data can be provided in the agency's desired format; that respondents' reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized; that collection instruments are clearly understood and cover material to which respondents can be responsive; and, that the impact of collection requirements on respondents can be properly assessed. The purpose of this Notice is to solicit comments related to conducting pre-tests of quantitative and qualitative data collection instruments and their related data collection procedures to improve the quality and usability of information collection instruments. A copy of the proposed information collection request can be obtained by contacting the individual listed below in the ADDRESSES section of this notice.","action":"Notice, request for comments, collection of information.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"NATIONAL FOUNDATION ON THE ARTS AND THE HUMANITIES","name":"National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities","id":342,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/national-foundation-on-the-arts-and-the-humanities","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/342","parent_id":null,"slug":"national-foundation-on-the-arts-and-the-humanities"},{"raw_name":"Institute of Museum and Library Services","name":"Institute of Museum and Library Services","id":591,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/institute-of-museum-and-library-services","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/591","parent_id":342,"slug":"institute-of-museum-and-library-services"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2023/12/18/2023-27694.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"88 FR 87462","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2024-02-16","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Written comments must be submitted to the office listed in the ADDRESSES section below on or before February 16, 2024.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2023-27694","effective_on":null,"end_page":87463,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2023/12/18/2023-27694.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/12/18/2023-27694/notice-of-proposed-information-collection-requests-generic-clearance-to-conduct-pre-testing-of","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2023-27694?publication_date=2023-12-18","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2023-12-18/2023-27694/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":38,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 20:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2023-12-18/pdf/2023-27694.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2023-27694.pdf?1702647922","publication_date":"2023-12-18","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2023/12/18/2023-27694.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"comments_count":0,"agency_id":"ARTS","document_id":"ARTS-2023-0070-0001","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2023-12-19T13:00:14Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":87462,"subtype":null,"title":"Notice of Proposed Information Collection Requests: Generic Clearance To Conduct Pre-Testing of Surveys","toc_doc":"Generic Clearance to Conduct Pre-Testing of Surveys","toc_subject":"Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposals, Submissions, and Approvals:\n","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":88}
