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 
through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.

DATES: Submit comments on or before May 4, 2021.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Instructions

    All comments must be in writing and submitted through the method(s) 
specified in the Addresses section above. All submissions must include 
the information collection title(s). Please include your name, title, 
organization, postal address telephone number, and email address in the 
text of the message. Please note that comments submitted in response to 
this Notice are public record. We recommend that you do not submit 
detailed personal information, Confidential Business Information, or 
any information that is otherwise protected from disclosure by statute.
    USAID will only address comments that explain why the proposed 
collection would be inappropriate, ineffective, or unacceptable without 
a change. Comments that are insubstantial or outside the scope of the 
notice of request for public comment may not be considered.

Purpose

    The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is authorized 
to make contracts with any corporation, international organization, or 
other body of persons in or outside of the United States in furtherance 
of the purposes and within limitations of the Foreign Assistance Act 
(FAA). The information collection requirements placed on the public are 
published in 48 CFR chapter 7, and include the following offeror or 
contractor reporting requirements, identified by the AIDAR section 
number, as specified in the AIDAR 701.106: 752.219-8, 752.245-70, 
752.245-71(c)(2), 752.247-70(c), 752.7001, 752.7002(j), 752.7003, 
752.7004 and 752.7032.
    The pre-award requirements are based on a need for prudent 
management in the determination that an offeror either has or can 
obtain the ability to competently manage development assistance 
programs using public funds. The requirements for information 
collection during the post-award period are based on the need to 
prudently administer public funds.

Overview of Information Collections

    (1) Information Collection Elements in the USAID Acquisition 
Regulation (AIDAR).
    (2) Type of Information Collection: Renewal of Information 
Collection under OMB No: OMB 0412-0520.
    (3) Title of the Form: Contractor Employee Biographical Data Sheet 
corresponding to AIDAR 752.7001.
    (4) Agency Form No.: AID 1420-17.
    (5) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond: 
Offerors responding to contract solicitations and contractors.
    (6) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond is: USAID 
estimates that 4,877 respondents will submit 33,249 submissions per 
year. The amount of time estimated to complete each response varies by 
item.
    (7) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collections: 43,943.
    (8) An estimate of the total public burden (in cost) associated 
with the collection: $4,054,200. Note that while the burden for these 
information collections falls on the public, most of the submissions 
are reimbursable either directly or indirectly under Agency contracts, 
the cost for most of these collections falls under the federal cost 
burden. Thus, the estimated total public cost burden not reimbursed 
through Agency contracts is $57,570.24.
