**Notice of Public Information Collection Requirements Submitted to OMB for** 
**Review**

**SUMMARY :**  This Federal Register notice was originally published on October 29, 2010 (75 FR 66724) and is being republished. Unfortunately, it appears that supporting documentation sent to OMB included language from USAID’s
December 2002 certification rather than from its September 2004 certification attached. The agency has worked with OMB to correct this error. Also, revisions were made regarding the
certification burden due to the respondents providing a response three times a year vs. two. In addition, less preparation time was required for all involved parties due to their familiarity with the certification process and salary
costs and benefits costs increased due to
inflation and an increase in the cost of living. U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has resubmitted the following information collections to
OMB for review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13. Comments regarding this information collection are best assured of having their full effect if received within 30 days of this
notification. Comments should be sent
via e-mail to
