    Abstract: The IAF works to promote sustainable development in Latin 
America and the Caribbean by offering small investments directly to 
civil society organizations through funding actions, such as grants and 
cooperative agreements. By gathering perceptions from grantees on how 
the IAF works as a funder, the IAF is able to assess its performance 
and identify opportunities for improvements. The IAF seeks to work with 
a contractor to independently carry out this survey with IAF grantees. 
The contractor will use an online survey with a set of standardized 
questions focused primarily on grant processes, such as the approach to 
grant selection, the time lapse between selection and commitment, and 
reporting and evaluation. The contractor will also apply these 
standardized questions to other funders, thus providing the IAF with 
findings relative to that of other comparable organizations.
    Request for Comments: The IAF issued a 60-day Federal Register 
notice on August 30, 2022 (87 FR 52990). Comments were solicited and 
continue to be invited on: (a) whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who 
are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submission of responses. Comments submitted in response to this notice 
will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB approval. All 
comments will become a matter of public record.

     A Notice by the Inter-American Foundation on October 27, 2022.
