Office of Museum and Library Services: Grants and Administration

B1: Line 1000DA: This is the discretionary amount of unobligated balances brought forward into FY2025 for the administrative and grant programs. Pursuant to the authority in OMB Circular A-11 section 120.21, one or more lines on the apportionment (including lines above line 1920) may have been rounded up and as such, those rounded lines will not match the actuals reported on the SF-133. Agency will ensure that its funds control system will only allot actuals. The funding will be used for Administrative activities, Laura Bush 21st Century Librarians, and National Leadership grants.

A2: Amounts apportioned, but not yet obligated as of the date of this reapportionment, on this line are available for obligation consistent with the latest agreed-upon spending plan for Fiscal Year 2026 between the institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Such spending plan submitted by IMLS shall include: the allocations of such amounts by program; specific information on current and anticipated grants and contracts utilizing such allocated amounts; and a detailed description of how such spending plan aligns with Administration priorities. Any revisions or additions to such spending plan shall be proposed to OMB in writing no later than five business days before the anticipated obligation of funds based on such revisions or additions. If OMB agrees to such revision or addition, OMB will notify IMLS in writing, the latest agreed-upon spend plan shall include such revision or addition. Upon OMB’s agreement with a submitted spending plan (or any revision or addition to such a spending plan), amounts apportioned on line 6100 shall be automatically re-apportioned to the applicable Category B line or current Category A line. [Rationale: An agency spend plan or other documentation is necessary to better understand how the agency intends to obligate some or all of the apportioned funds.]
