AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT


USAID COVID-19 Performance Monitoring

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

ACTION: Notice of request for 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 has submitted 
a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for emergency 
approval of a new information collection to inform technical approaches 
to implementing USAID's COVID-19 Implementation Plan. If granted, this 
emergency approval will be valid for six months from the date of 
approval.

DATES: If this request for approval is granted, USAID plans to collect 
performance data for a period of six months, beginning on or about 
December 15, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information 
should be directed to Megan McGuire, [email protected], +1 (202) 705 
6136.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed collection would request 
reporting from USAID award recipients (Implementing Partners) of 
performance indicators to be submitted through USAID's Development 
Information Solution (DIS) on the frequency designated in their awards. 
This activity-level information, in conjunction with contextual data, 
will allow USAID to track progress against the objectives of the U.S. 
Global COVID-19 Response and Recovery Framework. It will be used for 
adaptive management, evidence-based strategic decision-making, and 
accountability. Information will be requested of contracts and grants 
in the Global VAX surge countries (Angola, C[ocirc]te d'Ivoire, 
Eswatini, Ghana, Lesotho, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, 
Uganda, and Zambia) and for contracts and grants receiving more than 
$500,000 in COVID-19 funds obligated after 9/1/2022 in Ethiopia, 
Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Haiti and the Philippines.

Description of Proposed Use of Information

    The performance data would supplement contextual, country-level 
data currently analyzed by USAID and will provide critical, timely 
insight into the Agency's COVID-19 response. The collection and 
reporting of performance indicators by USAID's IPs will facilitate 
adaptive management, strategic planning, and ensure that COVID-10 
response activities are continually aligned with the Agency's primary 
objectives and the evolving nature of the pandemic. The data will 
inform the strategic and operational approaches of both the Agency's 
Washington offices and field-based Missions involved in the COVID-19 
response.

Time Burden

    USAID estimates an annual time burden of 333 hours per award or 83 
hours per response, assuming most awards report on a quarterly basis. 
USAID expects that a total of 41 awards will be subject to the 
information collection requirements; for these awards, the time burden 
is expected to total 13,653 hours per year, or 6,827 hours for the six-
month period specified in the emergency information collection review.
