AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT


Notice of Public Information Collection Requirements Submitted to 
OMB for Review

SUMMARY: U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has 
submitted the following information collection to OMB for review and 
clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. 
Comments regarding this information collection are best assured of 
having their full effect if received within 30 days of this 
notification. Comments should be addressed to: Desk Officer for USAID, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB), Washington DC 20503. Copies of submission may be obtained 
by calling (202) 712-5007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Number: OMB 0412-XXXX.
    Form Number: AID Form 101-1.
    Title: Feed the Future Public-Private Partnership Opportunity 
Explorer.
    Type of Submission: New Information Collection.
    Purpose: United States Agency for International Development must 
collect information as part of the Public-Private Partnerships 
Opportunity Explorer (PPOE). Information collected will be used to 
respond to initial private-sector interest in a partnership with Feed 
the Future and provide additional information and contacts regarding 
partnerships (i.e., how to get the process started if it looks like a 
good fit or alternative options for partnership). The information will 
be collected from private-sector organizations that are interested in 
partnering with the U.S. Government. Responses are voluntary. The 
information will be collected electronically via an online decision 
tree and related online form. The form will be collected by the Bureau 
for Food Security at USAID. The decision tree and form help reduce the 
transaction costs for initial exploration of a partnership for both the 
private-sector organization and the U.S. Government. They also provide 
the initial point of entry for private sector organizations into 
partnerships with the U.S. Government. Electronic submission ensures 
the creation of a record. Submissions will be stored within an Excel 
spreadsheet (database) created for the purpose of archiving these 
submissions and managed by the Bureau for Food Security at USAID. At a 
later date, the Bureau for Food Security may use a more formalized 
system to maintain the records, such as Customer Relationship 
Management (CRM) software. Electronic record retention will adhere to 
USAID ADS Chapter 502 regulations USAID (ADS 502.3.4.10) and in cases 
where a registration of interest turns into a public-private 
partnership, record retention will adhere to procurement record 
regulations outlined in USAID ADS 324 (USAID ADS 324.3.7). In rare 
cases where completing the form via the online tool is impossible, 
USAID will provide the form in PDF or Word document format for 
completion and submission via email or fax.
    Annual Reporting Burden:
    Respondents: 120.
    Total annual responses: 120.
    Total annual hours requested: 30.

    Dated: February 28, 2013.
Alecia Sillah,
Acting Chief, Bureau for Management, Office of Management Services, 
Information and Records Division, U.S. Agency for International 
Development.
