AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT


60-Day Notice of Public Information Collections

AGENCY: U.S. Agency for International Development.

ACTION: Notice of public information collections.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) seeks 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to continue the 
information collections described below. In accordance with the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, USAID requests public comment on this 
collection from all interested individuals and organizations. The 
purpose of this notice is to allow 60 days for public comment preceding 
submission of the collections to OMB. Comments are requested 
concerning: (a) Whether the collections of information are necessary 
for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including 
whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy 
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 April 25, 2022.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any of the following methods:
    1. Web: Through the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov by following the instructions for submitting 
comments.
    2. Email: [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wayne Cohee, at (202) 916-2630 or via 
email at [email protected].

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. 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.
    OMB No: 0412-0510 (expired).
    Title of Information Collection: Applicant and Recipient 
Information Collected in Response to Standard Provisions in USAID 
Grants and Cooperative Agreements to Non-Governmental Organizations.
    Type of Review: Reinstatement, with change, of a previously 
approved collection (OMB approval number 0412-0510) for which approval 
has expired.
    Purpose: USAID is authorized to make grants to and enter 
cooperative agreements with Non-Governmental Organizations 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 Standard 
Provisions that are included, as required or as applicable, in Notices 
of Funding Opportunities to potential applicants and resulting awards 
to recipients. The pre-award requirements are based on a need for 
prudent management in the determination that an applicant 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.
    Respondents: USAID grant and cooperative agreement applicants and 
recipients.
    Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,210.
    Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 22,100.
    Estimated Total Public Burden (in cost): $1,303,900.
    These estimated totals were calculated using the below burden 
estimates per response for each of the named Standard Provisions, which 
are published internally in the Agency's Automated Directives System 
(ADS) Chapter 303 and included by Agreement Officers, as required or as 
applicable, in Notices of Funding Opportunities and resulting awards:
