    Title: Supplier's Certificate Agreement with the U.S. Agency for 
International Development--Invoice and Contract Abstract.

    Purpose: The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) 
finances goods and related services under its Commodity Import Program 
which are contracted for by public and private entities in the

these contracts, USAID needs some means to collect information directly 
from the suppliers of the goods and related services and to enable to 
USAID to take appropriate action against them in the event they do not 
comply with the applicable regulations. USAID does this by securing 
from the suppliers, as a condition for the disbursement of funds a 
certificate and agreement with USAID which contains appropriate 
representations by the suppliers.
    Annual Reporting Burden:
    Respondents: 400.
    Total annual responses: 3,600.
