Abstract: Under the section 416(b), 

Food for Progress, and McGovern-Dole 

International Food for Education and 

Child Nutrition programs (the ‘‘Foreign 

Donation Programs’’), information will 

be gathered from applicants desiring to 

receive grants under the programs to 

determine the viability of requests for 

resources to implement activities in 

foreign countries. Program participants 

that receive grants must submit 

compliance reports until commodities 

or local currencies generated from the 

sale thereof are utilized. Participants 

that use the services of freight 

forwarders must submit certifications 

from the freight forwarders regarding 

their activities and affiliations.

grant agreements and assure statutory 

requirements and objectives are met.

reporting burden for each respondent 

resulting from information collected 

under the Foreign Donation Programs 

varies in direct relation to the number 

and complexity of the agreements 

entered into by such respondent. The 

estimated average reporting burden for 

the Foreign Donation Programs is 11 

hours per response. 

Respondents: U.S. private voluntary 

organizations, U.S. cooperatives, foreign 

governments, freight forwarders, ship 

owners and brokers, and survey 

companies. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:
