AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT


Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Annual 
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Survey for USAID's 
Workforce

AGENCY: United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

ACTION: Notice of emergency OMB approval.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the emergency review procedures of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the United States Agency for 
International Development (USAID), is announcing that it is requesting 
emergency approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a 
new information collection to survey its collective workforce to share 
their thoughts to help inform decision making and actions around 
diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility to help strengthen, 
empower, and support our global workforce.

DATES: USAID plans to initially seek information in July 2022, then 
annually thereafter.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information 
should be directed to Kiona Owens @[email protected] or on (202) 712-
7017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.13, the Agency 
submitted a request for emergency approval of new information 
collection from the agency's workforce on DEIA, including U.S. Direct 
Hires (permanent and temporary) U.S. Personal Services Contractors, 
Institutional Support Contractors, Cooperating Country Nationals, and 
other expanded demographic categories in 6 main areas on a 5-point 
Likert scale, including 11 profile questions, 7 equity questions, 14 
accessibility questions, and 29 talent impact questions.

Description of Proposed Use of Information

    The information will be collected via a digital survey and used by 
the workforce to capture the viewpoints and perceptions of USAID 
headquarters and overseas employees across all hiring mechanisms and at 
all grades and ranks; allow for data disaggregation by Bureau, 
Independent Office, and Mission; provide data for analysis to support 
evidence-based and data-driven approaches to determine whether and to 
what extent Agency policies programs, and practices present barriers to 
equal and equitable and opportunities and employment outcomes and what 
needs to be changed or developed to remove said barriers; and to 
support USAID efforts to monitor and report on DEIA and EEO program 
effectiveness, enabling continuous program improvement.

Time Burden

    OMB's approval enables USAID to engage 11,000 respondents. Each 
respondent will be able to provide 20 minutes in participation time, 
totaling 3,666 estimated time burden of this proposed information 
collection.

Kiona Owens,
Global Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) Advisor, 
Office of the Administrator, Office of the Chief DEIA Officer.
