25 chiefs/department heads/ 

Commanders to spend 20 minutes 

completing the telephone debriefing 

about the mail screener (25 × 20 minutes 

= 8.33 hours). NIJ expects the five 

internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) 

investigators who are asked to complete 

telephone interviews on specific cases 

identified in the mail screener to spend 

an average of 60 minutes of their time 

which includes the debriefing about the 

interview (5 × 60 minutes = 5 hours). 

The total amount of time for the N–JOV4 

pilot is 19.58 hours. 

Burden Hours for N–JOV4 National 

Study 

A total of 2,689 local, county, state 

and federal law enforcement agencies 

are included in the national stratified 

sample. All of these agencies except the 

three federal agencies will receive a 

mail screener, resulting a total of 2,686 

non-federal agencies. NIJ estimates that 

the time to complete the screener will 

be five minutes for agencies with no 

eligible cases and 10 minutes for 

agencies with eligible cases, including 

the time to read the accompanying 

letter, identify eligible cases, and 

answer the questions. NIJ estimates that 

1,343 (50%) of the law enforcement 

agencies will complete the screener by 

mail. Of these, 35% are expected to 

have at least one case; these agencies 

will take approximately 10 minutes 

each to complete the mail screener (470 

× 10 = 78.33 hours). The remaining 

agencies who complete the screener 

survey by mail are expected to take 

approximately 5 minutes each to 

complete the mail screener (873 × 5 = 

72.75 hours). This equals a total of 

151.08 hours for completing the 

screener by mail. NIJ estimates that 36 

percent of the law enforcement agencies 

will complete the screener by telephone. 

NIJ estimates that, of these 967 agencies 

who complete the screener by 

telephone, 338 will have a case (338 × 

10 = 56.33 hours) and 629 will have no 

cases (629 × 5 = 52.42 hours) for a total 

of 108.75 hours for completing the mail 

screener by phone. Based on power 

analysis calculations, case-level 

telephone interviews will be completed 

for a sample of 2,000 eligible cases 

identified in the mail screener. NIJ 

estimates that the telephone surveys 

will take an average of 45 minutes, 

including 5 minutes for introductions 

and study details, 3 minutes for data 

retrieval, and 37 minutes for study 

questions (2,000 × 45 = 1,500 hours). 

The total amount of time for the N–JOV4 

national study is 1,759.83 hours. 

6. An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: 

There are an estimated 1,779.41 total 

burden hours associated with the N– 

JOV4 pilot study and the national study.

MILLENNIUM CHALLENGE 

CORPORATION 

[MCC FR 20–10] 

Report on the Selection of Eligible 

Countries for Fiscal Year 2021 

AGENCY: Millennium Challenge 

Corporation. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This report is provided in 

accordance with the Millennium 

Challenge Act of 2003, as amended. The 

report is set forth in full below. 

Authority: Section 608(d)(2) of the 

Millennium Challenge Act of 2003, as 

amended, 22 U.S.C. 7707(d)(2) (the Act). 

Dated: December 18, 2020. 

Brian Finkelstein, 

Acting VP/General Counsel and Corporate 

Secretary. 

Report on the Selection of Eligible 

Countries for Fiscal Year 2021 

Summary 

This report is provided in accordance 

with section 608(d)(1) of the 

Millennium Challenge Act of 2003, as 

amended (the Act) (22 U.S.C. 

7707(d)(1)). 

The Act authorizes the provision of 

assistance under section 605 of the Act 

(22 U.S.C. 7704) to countries that enter 

into compacts with the United States to 

support policies and programs that 

advance the progress of such countries 

in achieving lasting poverty reduction 

through economic growth, and are in 

furtherance of the Act. The Act requires 

the Millennium Challenge Corporation 

(MCC) to determine the countries that 

will be eligible to receive assistance for 

the fiscal year, based on their 

demonstrated commitment to just and 

democratic governance, economic 

freedom, and investing in their people, 

as well as on the opportunity to reduce 

poverty through economic growth in the 

country. The Act also requires the 

submission of reports to appropriate 

congressional committees and the 

publication of notices in the Federal 

Register that identify, among other 

things: 

1. The countries that are ‘‘candidate 

countries’’ for assistance for fiscal year 

(FY) 2021 based on their per-capita 

income levels and their eligibility to 

receive assistance under U.S. law, and 

countries that would be candidate 

countries, but for specified legal 

prohibitions on assistance (section 

608(a) of the Act (22 U.S.C. 7707(a))); 

2. The criteria and methodology that 

the Board of Directors of MCC (the 

Board) used to measure and evaluate the 

policy performance of the ‘‘candidate 

countries’’ consistent with the 

requirements of section 607 of the Act 

in order to determine ‘‘eligible 

countries’’ from among the ‘‘candidate 

countries’’ (section 608(b) of the Act (22 

U.S.C. 7707(b))); and 

3. The list of countries determined by 

the Board to be ‘‘eligible countries’’ for 

FY 2021, with justification for eligibility 

determination and selection for compact 

negotiation, including with which of the 

eligible countries the Board will seek to 

enter into compacts (section 608(d) of 

the Act (22 U.S.C. 7707(d))). 

This is the third of the abovedescribed reports by MCC for FY 2021. 

It identifies countries determined by the 

Board to be eligible under section 607 

of the Act (22 U.S.C. 7706) for FY 2021 

with which the MCC will seek to enter 

into compacts under section 609 of the 

Act (22 U.S.C. 7708), as well as the 

justification for such decisions. The 

report also identifies countries selected 

by the Board to receive assistance under 

MCC’s threshold program pursuant to 

section 616 of the Act (22 U.S.C. 7715). 

Eligible Countries 

The Board met on December 15, 2020 

to select those eligible countries with 

which the United States, through MCC, 

will seek to enter into a Millennium 

Challenge Compact pursuant to section 

607 of the Act (22 U.S.C. 7706). The 

Board selected the following eligible 

country for such assistance for FY 2021: 

Sierra Leone. The Board also selected 

the following previously selected 

countries for compact assistance for FY 

2021: Benin, Burkina Faso, Coˆte 

d’Ivoire, Malawi, Mozambique, Niger, 

Timor-Leste, and Tunisia. 

Criteria 

In accordance with the Act and with 

the ‘‘Report on the Criteria and 

Methodology for Determining the 

Eligibility of Candidate Countries for 

Millennium Challenge Account 

Assistance in Fiscal Year 2021’’ 

formally submitted to Congress on 

September 15, 2020, selection was based 

primarily on a country’s overall 

performance in three broad policy 

categories: Ruling Justly, Encouraging 

Economic Freedom, and Investing in 

People. The Board relied, to the fullest 

extent possible, upon transparent and 

independent indicators to assess 

countries’ policy performance and 

demonstrated commitment in these 

three broad policy areas. The Board 

compared countries’ performance on the 

indicators relative to their income-level 

peers, evaluating them in comparison to 

either the group of countries with a GNI 

per capita equal to or less than $1,945, 

or the group with a GNI per capita 

between $1,946 and $4,045. 

The criteria and methodology used to 

assess countries on the annual 

scorecards are outlined in the ‘‘Report 

on the Criteria and Methodology for 

Determining the Eligibility of Candidate 

Countries for Millennium Challenge 

Account Assistance for Fiscal Year 

2021.’’ 1 Scorecards reflecting each 

country’s performance on the indicators 

are available on MCC’s website at 

https://www.mcc.gov/who-we-select/ 

scorecards. 

The Board also considered whether 

any adjustments should be made for 

data gaps, data lags, or recent events 

since the indicators were published, as 

well as strengths or weaknesses in 

particular indicators. Where 

appropriate, the Board took into account 

additional quantitative and qualitative 

information, such as evidence of a 

country’s commitment to fighting 

corruption, investments in human 

development outcomes, or poverty rates. 

In keeping with legislative directives, 

the Board also considered the 

opportunity to reduce poverty and 

promote economic growth in a country, 

in light of the overall information 

available, as well as the availability of 

appropriated funds. 

The Board sees the selection decision 

as an annual opportunity to determine 

where MCC funds can be most 

effectively used to support poverty 

reduction through economic growth in 

relatively well-governed, poor countries. 

The Board carefully considers the 

appropriate nature of each country 

partnership—on a case-by-case basis— 

based on factors related to poverty 

reduction through economic growth, the 

sustainability of MCC’s investments, 

and the country’s ability to attract and
