Form Number: N/A. 

Title: USAID Faith-Based and 

Community Initiatives Contact Survey. 

Type of Submission: New Information 

Collection. 

Purpose: The Center for Faith-Based 

and Community Initiatives (CFBCI) 

supports the commitment from the 

White F-louse and USAID to expand our 

partnership community by building 

broad and deep relationships with the 

nongovernmental organization (NGO) 

community at large. In order to better 

coordinate the Agency’s work with 

NGOs and to improve the effectiveness 

and extent of the Agency’s outreach to 

the NGO community, the CFBCI is 

requesting to send out a voluntary, 

electronic survey to contacts for whom 

we have no organizational affiliation 

who have previously interacted with or 

expressed interest in working with 

USAID and the CFBCI. The survey will 

request updated contact and 

organizational information on NGOs 

working in international development 

and humanitarian relief around the 

world. By collecting such information, 

the Agency will be able to engage these 

organizations in a more efficient and 

less duplicative way. In addition, it will 

allow the Agency to better monitor its 

success in engaging a broad range of 

NGOs. Responding to the survey is 

optional. An organization’s response or 

non-response will not have any impact 

positive or negative—on its future 

relationship with the Agency. 

Annual Reporting Burden: 

Respondents: 3,000. 

Total annual responses: 3,000. 

Total annual hours requested: 750 

hours. 

Dated: December 15, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Number: OMB 0412–New. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Title: USAID Visa Compliance System 

(VCS). 

Type of Submission: New Information 

Collection. 

Purpose: The U.S. Agency for 

International Development, under the 

Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as 

amended, engages in a broad range of 

sustainable economic assistance 

activities that provide technical and 

academic training in the United States 

and abroad for foreign nationals. These 

foreign nationals have been selected for 

training by USAID in order to advance 

U.S. foreign policy objectives by 

supporting: Economic growth, 

agriculture and trade; global health; and 

democracy conflict prevention and 

humanitarian assistance. Training can 

consist of long-term academic degree 

programs, short-term technical courses, 

seminars, workshops, or other learning 

activities intended to impart certain 

knowledge and information. 

USAID must tract training data for all 

foreign nationals who receive training 

funded by USAID. In cases where 

foreign nationals must travel to the U.S. 

to participate in training or invitational 

travel, the approvals for the eligibility to 

obtain the J visa are captured in the Visa 

Compliance System (VCS). The Visa 

Compliance system has two purposes: 

First, to secure a J–1 visa for these 

foreign nationals traveling to the US.; 

second, to enable USAID to be in 

compliance with external requirements 

of the Department of Homeland 

Security. With certain exceptions, the 

foreign nationals that USAID sponsors 

for travel to the U.S. are considered 

exchange visitors. The VCS provides an 

audit trail regarding exchange visitor, 

his or her training program or 

circumstances, as well as other relevant 

documentation. 

Annual Reporting Burden: 

Respondents: 600. 

Total annual responses: 8,000. 

Total annual hours requested: 2,000 

hours. 

Dated: December 15, 2010.
