Purpose

    The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is authorized 
to make contracts with any corporation, international organization, or 
other body of persons in or outside of the United States in furtherance 
of the purposes and within limitations of the Foreign Assistance Act 
(FAA). As part of this authority, USAID requests certain information 
from contractors using contract clauses in the USAID Acquisition 
Regulation (AIDAR). USAID has an existing Information Collection under 
OMB No: OMB 0412-0520. This information collection includes the 
following offeror or contractor reporting requirements, identified by 
the AIDAR section number, as specified in the AIDAR 701.106: 752.219-8, 
752.245-70, 752.245-71(c)(2), 752.247-70(c), 752.7001, 752.7002(j), 
752.7003, 752.7004 and 752.7032. Other information collection 
requirements under the AIDAR exist under separate OMB approvals.
    The pre-award requirements are based on a need for prudent 
management in the determination that an offeror either has or can 
obtain the ability to competently manage development assistance 
programs using public funds. The requirements for information 
collection during the post-award period are based on the need to 
prudently administer public funds. USAID most recently renewed this 
approval effective July 15, 2021 (86 FR 31693). This current renewal 
makes no revisions to existing clauses or underlying forms and updates 
burden estimates.
    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.
    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.
