SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB No.: OMB 0412-0510.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Title: Administration or Assistance Awards to U.S. Non-Government 
Organizations--22 CFR part 226 and USAID's Automated Directive Systems 
Chapter 303.
    Type of Review: Renewal of Information Collection.
    Purpose: Section 635(b) of the Foreign Assistance Act (FAA) 
authorizes USAID to make grants and cooperative agreements with any 
organization and within limits of the FAA. Most of the information that 
USAID requests of its recipients is necessary to fulfill the 
requirement that USAID, as a Federal agency, ensure prudent management 
of public funds under all of its assistance instruments. The pre-award 
information is necessary to assure that funds are provided for programs 
that further the purposes of the FAA and that the recipients have the 
capability to manage the program administratively and financially. The 
administration (post-award) requirements are based on the need to 
assure that the program is functioning adequately, that the funds are 
managed properly and that statutory and regulatory requirements are 
complied with.
    Annual Reporting Burden:
    Respondents: 400.
    Total annual responses: 1,100.
    Total annual hours requested: 37,400 hours.

    Dated: October 24, 2000.

Chief, Information and Records Division, Office of Administrative
