II. Modifications to Activity Design

A. Follow-Up of FY 1997 Title II Review

(if Applicable)

If you have not already done so,

please respond to the technical and

programmatic concerns raised during

the FY 1997 review, as detailed in the

review summary cable or FFP’s letter of

approval. Address the extent to which

you have implemented or plan to

implement the recommendations made

and the resulting budgetary impact.

Explain any delays in implementing

recommendations.

B. Lessons Learned During Recent

Activity Implementation

Based on recent progress and

constraints, describe any modifications

made in FY 1996 to activity design or

implementation, including revisions to

objectives, benchmarks, performance

indicators, and the implementation

schedule. In addition, explain how any

modification may affect activity budgets

and commodity allocations. Finally,

note significant changes in your

operating environment, e.g., economic,

social or political developments that

affected or may continue to affect

performance in meeting one or more

objectives.

III. Resource Analysis and Requests

(Sections A–D may be attached as an

annex)

A. FY 1996 Expenditure Report and

Narrative

1. Prepare a comprehensive report of

actual expenditures during FY 1996. If

possible, report on expenditures by Title

II activity. Identify all applicable

funding sources, including, for example:

Section 202(e); monetization;

Cooperating Sponsor contribution; other

donors; and other program income such

as interest, empty container sales,

participant contributions, etc. Report all

opening and closing balances by

funding source, and compare budgeted

to actual line-item expenditures.

Amounts should be denominated in

U.S. dollars. For local currency line

items that have been translated into U.S.

dollars, state the exchange rate and the

date it was obtained.

2. Provide a brief explanation of

significant line-item deviations from the

FFP-approved budget. If there was a

shortfall in funding (particularly local

currency from monetization) during FY

1996, discuss the activities affected, the

impact of the shortfall on the

achievement of objectives, and how the

shortfall was covered. Conversely, if the

funds available during FY 1996

exceeded budgeted expenditures,

discuss the activities affected, the

impact on the achievement of

objectives, and how the additional

funding was or will be spent.

B. FY 1996 Monetization Pipeline

Analysis

For each activity supported by Title II

monetization, provide a pipeline

analysis of local currency funds

including: FY 1996 opening balance of

funds from prior year monetizations,

including interest; actual funds received

from monetization sales during FY

1996; interest earned during FY 1996;

total actual expenditure of local

currency during FY 1996; closing

balance of funds at the end of FY 1996;

and the amount of reserve/bridge

funding needed to support the activity

until the FY 1997 monetization sale

takes place. CSs are requested to report

this information utilizing the

worksheet(s) provided in Attachment 4.

C. FY 1996 Commodity Pipeline

Analysis

Attach as an annex the FY 1996

Fourth Quarter Commodity Status and

Recipient Status Report (CSR/RSR) and

Loss Report, along with a summary of

CSR/RSR data for the full FY 1996.

D. FY 1997, 1998 & 1999 Budget

Revisions

If changes to the original FY 1997,

1998 or 1999 budgets are required or

envisioned, prepare a revised

comprehensive budget to serve as a

modification to the approved activity.

List all funding sources, actual opening

balances, estimated line-item

expenditures, and estimated closing

balances. Also present a table showing

revised commodities and tonnages by

the Annual Estimate of Requirement’s

(AER) category for each program

activity.

E. Future New Submissions

This section pertains only to DAPs/

PAAs ending in FY 1997 and FY 1998:

Briefly discuss plans to submit

follow-on Title II proposals for FY 98 or

FY 99, including any anticipated

changes in activity and/or resource

requirements, discussions between your

staff and the USAID Mission on planned

activities, whether and/or how the

activity supports one or more of the

objectives under the Mission’s strategic

plan for the country.

For anticipated new proposals,

Melamine Institutional Dinnerware

from China, Indonesia, and Taiwan

Determinations

On the basis of the record 1 developed

in the subject investigations, the United

States International Trade Commission

determines, pursuant to section 735(b)

of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.

1673d(b)) (the Act), that the industry in

the United States producing melamine

dinnerware for institutional use 2 is

materially injured by reason of imports

from China, Indonesia, and Taiwan of

melamine dinnerware, as defined by the

Department of Commerce (Commerce),

that have been found by Commerce to

be sold in the United States at less than

fair value (LTFV), and that are for

institutional use.3 4

The Commission further finds that the

industry in the United States producing

melamine dinnerware for noninstitutional use 5 is not materially

injured or threatened with material

injury, and the establishment of such an

industry in the United States is not

materially retarded, by reason of LTFV

imports of melamine dinnerware from

China and Taiwan that are for noninstitutional use. The Commission also

unanimously determines that subject

imports of melamine dinnerware for
