SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), USAID is providing the 
general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on 
the proposed collection of information. USAID is requesting a general 
clearance to provide and conduct workforce surveys, interviews, and 
focus groups with a diverse workforce consisting of numerous hiring 
mechanisms, including, but not limited to, U.S. direct hires, fellows, 
interns, Personal Services Contractors, Institutional Support 
Contractors, Coordinating Country Nationals, and Third Country 
Nationals. The goal of data collection under this generic clearance is 
to collect workforce feedback on organizational health, operations, 
workforce culture, and work environment necessary to strengthen mission 
readiness and better achieve its development objectives. USAID will 
only collect data from the approximately 11,000 members of the USAID 
workforce with minimal collection of personally identifiable 
information. The total estimated number of annual burden hours for 
these workforce population surveys is 41,250 hours. USAID will limit 
analysis and reporting to summary level statistics that will only be 
available to the internal workforce.
    OMB Control Number: TBD.
