FLICC Sample Text of a LC/FEDLINK
Interagency Agreement (IAG)
 

This is a sample of the Interagency Agreement (IAG) that the Library of Congress (LC) uses for federal organizations participating in the LC's FEDLINK program. Words and numbers shown in italics in the sample would be replaced by member-specific and fiscal-year specific information in a real IAG.

Page one of the IAG identifies the purpose, period, payment requirements, services rendered, and authority for the agreement. The Service Schedule on page two lists the services the member will use through FEDLINK, the funding level for each, and the amount of fees the member will pay LC to use the program. On page three the FLICC Executive Director would sign the IAG on behalf of LC/FEDLINK, and a person at the member agency authorized to sign IAGs would sign the agreement on behalf of the member, provide the required funds citation, and choose to pay the IAG amount to LC through electronic funds transfer or manual billing. See the FEDLINK Member Handbook for more information about establishing an IAG with LC/FEDLINK.
