Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The Assistance Coordination (AC) 

Office, established in June 2014, 

coordinates United States government 

foreign assistance in the Middle East 

and North Africa region for the 

Department of State, and manages the 

implementation of all the assistance 

functions within the Department of 

State’s Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs. 

In fiscal year 2014, the AC office will 

obligate over $120 million in support of 

political, economic, education and 

women’s rights reform in 20 countries of 

the Middle East and North Africa. As a 

normal course of business and in 

compliance with 22 U.S.C. 2395(b) and 

OMB Guidelines contained in Circular 

A–110, recipient organizations are 

required to provide, and the U.S. 

Department of State is required to 

collect, periodic program and financial 

performance reports. The responsibility 

of the Department to track and monitor 

the programmatic and financial 

performance necessitates a database that 

can help facilitate this in a consistent 

and standardized manner. The NEA/AC 

Performance Reporting System (PRS) 

enables enhanced monitoring and 

evaluation of grants through 

standardized collection and storage of 

relevant award elements, such as 

quarterly progress reports, workplans, 

results monitoring plans, grant 

agreements, and other business 

information related to AC implementers. 

The PRS streamlines communication 

with implementers and allows for rapid 

identification of information gaps for 

specific projects. 

Methodology 

Information will be entered into PRS 

electronically by respondents. 

Dated: July 8, 2014. 

Catherine Bourgeois, 

Chief of Staff, Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, 

NEA/AC Department of State.
