SUMMARY: U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is making 
efforts to reduce the paperwork burden. USAID invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following proposed and/or continuing information collections, as 
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act for 1995. Comments are 
requested concerning (a) Whether the proposed or continuing collections 
of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions 
of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the burden estimates; (c) ways to enhance 
the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) 
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the 
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.

DATES: Send comments on this information collection on or before May 5, 
2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Beverly Johnson, Bureau for 
Management, Office of Administrative Services, Information and Records 
Division, U.S. Agency for International Development, Room 2.07-106, 
RRB, Washington, D.C., 20523, (202) 712-1365 or via e-mail 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  
    OMB No.: OMB 0412-0017.
    Form No.: AID 1440-3.
    Title: Contractor's Certificate and Agreement with the Agency for 
International Development/Contractor's Invoice and Contract Abstract.
    Type of Review: Renewal of Information Collection.
    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: 18.
    Total annual responses: 216.
    Total annual hours requested: 126 hours.

    Dated: March 8, 2000.
