    Purpose: The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) 
finances goods and related services under its Commodity Import Program

these contracts, USAID needs some means to collect information directly 
from the suppliers of the goods and related services and to enable 
USAID to take an appropriate action against them in the event they do 
not comply with the applicable regulations. USAID does this by security 
from the suppliers, as a condition for the disbursement of funds a 
certificate and agreement with USAID which contains appropriate 
representations by the suppliers.

    Total annual responses: 2,400.
