Evaluate the accuracy of our estimate of the time and cost
burden for this proposed collection, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected.
Minimize the reporting burden on respondents, including
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of

Abstract of Proposed Collection
USAID collects information from individuals and organizations to
conduct screening to help ensure that USAID funds, USAID-funded
activities, or other resources will not be used to provide support to
entities or individuals deemed to be a risk to national security.
USAID vets prospective awardees seeking funding from USAID to
mitigate the risk that such funds might benefit entities or individuals
who present a national security risk. To conduct vetting, USAID
collects information from prospective awardees and subawardees
regarding their directors, officers, and/or key employees. The
information collected is compared to information gathered from
commercial, public, and U.S. government databases to determine the risk
that the applying organization or individual might use Agency funds or
programs in a way that presents a threat to national security.
Methodology
USAID collects information via mail or electronic submission.
Colleen Allen,
Director, Bureau for Management, Office of Management Policy, Budget,
and Performance, U.S. Agency for International Development.
