Current Actions: This Notice proposes

the clearance of Evaluation of the

Reopening Archives, Libraries, and

Museums (REALM) Project research

study. The 60-day Notice was published

in the Federal Register on October 16,

2020 (85 FR 65878). The agency

received one comment in response to

this Notice.

The REALM Project is convening

individuals from Institute of Museum

and Library Services (IMLS), OCLC Inc.

(OCLC), Battelle, and several key actors

in the libraries, archives, and museums

(LAM) fields to bring their expertise and

on-the-ground experience together to

develop science-based information

about how materials can be handled to

mitigate COVID–19 exposure to staff

and visitors of LAM institutions as

COVID–19 restrictions begin lifting

across the country. This project extends

the guidance available from the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention

(CDC) by providing information that is

specifically relevant to LAM

institutions. Given that LAM

institutions work with physical

materials that are often circulated

among the public, LAM institutions

have unique concerns about how they

can optimize their operations while

minimizing the potential for spreading

the Coronavirus. This evaluation will be

focused on understanding the extent to

which the professionals from LAM

institutions have found that the REALM

Project’s research test results and toolkit

resources have met their needs. Data

will be collected through a survey of

organizations that have used the test

results and toolkit developed by the

REALM project and focus groups

representing members of the museum

and archive community who have not

been engaged with the project. The

evaluation is intended to provide

information to OCLC and IMLS around

the usefulness of the scientific

information shared to the LAM

community as well as the effectiveness

of its distribution. The evaluation has

rather to inform decision-makers at

Steering Committee as well as to adjust

methods of distribution of information

Cohen Act (Pub. L. 104–106), OPM is

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of functions

information will have practical utility;

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information,
