Abstract.
    Type of Submission: Renewal.
    Purpose; USAID finances host country contracts, for technical and 
professional services and for the construction of physical facilities, 
between the contractors for such services and entities in the country 
receiving assistance under loan or grant agreements with the recipient 
country. USAID is not a party to these contracts, and the contracts are 
not subject to the FAR. In its role as the financing agency, USAID 
needs some means of collecting information directly from the 
contractors supplying such services so that it may take appropriate 
action in the event that the contractor does not comply with applicable 
USAID regulations. The information collection, recordkeeping, and 
reporting requirements are necessary to assure that USAID funds are 
expended in accordance with statutory requirements and USAID policies.
    Annual Reporting Burden: Respondents: 30, Annual responses: 12, 
Average hours per response: .50, Total annual responses: 360.

    Dated: May 1, 1996.
Genease E. Pettigrew,
Chief, Information Support Services Division, Office of Administrative 
Services, Bureau of Management.
