60-Day Notice of Proposed Information Collection for Foreign Tax 
Reporting by Assistance Recipients

AGENCY: U.S. Agency for International Development.

ACTION: Notice of proposed information collection.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) seeks 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the information 
collection described below. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, USAID requests public comment on this collection from all 
interested individuals and organizations.

DATES: Submit comments on or before June 13, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by the title of the action 
through the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov 
by following the instructions for submitting comments. Please include 
your name and company name (if any) on any attachments. If your comment 
cannot be submitted using https://www.regulations.gov, please email the 
point of contact in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this 
document for alternate instructions.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kelly Miskowski, at (202) 916-2752 or 
via email at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
    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: N/A (new submission).
    Form: No Form associated with this collection.
    Title of Information Collection: Foreign Tax Reporting by USAID 
Assistance Recipients.
    Type of Review: New Collection.

Purpose

    The Foreign Tax Reporting collection is needed to comply with 
current statutory requirements. Sec. 7013, Public Law 116-260, 143 
Stat. 1182, the annual Department of State, Foreign Operations, and 
Related Programs Appropriations Act (SFOAA), and similar provisions in 
prior years' SFOAAs, mandate that agencies take certain actions to 
prevent taxation of assistance provided with funds appropriated in an 
SFOAA, or to obtain full reimbursement of all taxes paid. Since 2003, 
USAID has required these reports in its grants and cooperative 
agreements but has not previously requested OMB approval for the 
information collection. The reporting requirement was revised in 2014 
(in Sec. 7013, Pub. L. 113-76, 128 Stat. 5) to redefine the taxes that 
must be reported, and USAID is in the process of revising our 
assistance policy and required procedures in an update to Automated 
Directives System (ADS 303) Grants and Cooperative Agreements to Non-
Governmental Organizations.
    Respondents: U.S. and foreign recipients of direct grants and 
cooperative agreements carrying out their award activities overseas.
    Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 4,800.
    Annual burden hours per respondent: 1.
    Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 4,800.

Luis Rivera,
Acting Senior Procurement Executive, U.S. Agency for International 
Development.
