AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT


Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; 
Response to Comments; Open Innovation Competitions--Prizes, Challenges, 
Hackathons

AGENCY: Center for Development Innovation (CDI), U.S. Agency for 
International Development (USAID).

ACTION: Notice of response to information collection.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The United States Agency for International Development sought 
comment on information contained in Federal Register Notice (Document 
Number: 2020-01961) and published Monday, February 3, 2020. One comment 
was received. The content of that comment was not germane to the 
subject of the information collection exercise. USAID/CDI will now 
request approval of this generic collection of information from the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Jackson, USAID, Center for 
Development Innovations 202-216-3467 or [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Open innovation competitions--Prizes, Challenges and 
hackathons.
    OMB Number: 2020-01961.
    Type of Review: Renewal of generic collection.
    Method of Collection: Electronic.
    Frequency of Response: Periodically.
    Affected Public: Open Innovation Competition contestants.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: Approximately 800 participants 
annually based on current year estimates.
    Estimated Time per Response: Response time varies depending on the 
nature of the open innovation competition from an average estimated 
response time of 10 hours/participant which is significantly less than 
offerors would be expected to spend on a traditional proposal. Some 100 
participants may require as much as 2 additional hours each to provide 
additional information upon selection.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden: 8,200 hours (800 participants x 10 
hours/participant) + (100 participants x 2 hours/participant).
    General Description of Collection: USAID/CDI establishes open 
innovation competitions--prizes, challenges and hackathons to source 
breakthrough innovations from innovators around the world to further 
USAID's ability to address its development and humanitarian response 
priorities.
    USAID/CDI solicited written comments from all interested persons 
about the proposed collection of information. USAID/CDI specifically 
sought information relevant to the following topics:
     The necessity of the collection of information described 
for the proper performance of USAID/CDI's functions, including its 
practical utility;
     The accuracy of the estimation of the burden of the 
proposed collection;
     Enhancing the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     Using automation and forms of information technology to 
minimize the burden imposed by the collection of information.
