International Development (USAID)

accordance with the Paperwork

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose of this notice is to allow 60 

days for public comment preceding 

submission of the collections to OMB. 

USAID previously received approval, 

under OMB approval number 0412– 

0510, for information collection 

required under USAID’s Standard 

Provisions in its Automated Directives 

System (ADS) Chapter 303, USAID 

Grants and Cooperative Agreements to 

Non-Governmental Organizations. 

USAID will be adding three new 

Standard Provisions to ADS Chapter 303 

later in calendar year 2024, entitled: 1. 

Activity Monitoring, Evaluation, and 

Learning Plans (AMELPs); 2. Planning, 

Collection, and Submission of Digital 

Information to USAID With Data 

Management Plan (DMP); and 3. 

Planning, Collection, and Submission of 

Digital Information to USAID Without 

Data Management Plan (DMP). These 

three new Standard Provisions require 

information collection approval under 

the Paperwork Reduction Act. USAID 

thus, for purposes of organization and 

efficiency, seeks approval for this new 

information collection via revision to 

the existing OMB approval for ADS 

Chapter 303 information collection 

(0412–0510). Estimated annual 

responses, estimated annual burden 

hours, and estimated total public 

burden (in cost) for the new information 

collection are listed later in this notice. 

All comments must be in writing and 

submitted through the method(s) 

specified in the Addresses section 

above. All submissions must include the 

information collection title. Please 

include your name, title, organization, 

postal address telephone number, and 

email address in the text of the message. 

Please note that comments submitted in 

response to this Notice are public 

record. We recommend that you do not 

submit detailed personal information, 

Confidential Business Information, or 

any information that is otherwise 

protected from disclosure by statute. 

USAID will only address comments that 

explain why the proposed collection 

would be inappropriate, ineffective, or 

unacceptable without a change. 

Comments that are insubstantial or 

outside the scope of the notice of 

request for public comment may not be 

considered. 

OMB No: 0412–0510. 

Form: No Form associated with this 

collection. 

Title of Information Collection: 

United States Agency for International 

Development (USAID) Automated 

Directives System (ADS) Chapter 303 

Standard Provisions Information 

Collection. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection (OMB No. 

0412–0510). 

Purpose: USAID is authorized to make 

grants to and enter cooperative 

agreements with Non-Governmental 

Organizations in or outside of the 

United States in furtherance of the 

purposes and within limitations of the 

Foreign Assistance Act (FAA). The 

information collection requirements 

placed on the public are published in 

Standard Provisions that are included, 

as required or as applicable, in Notices 

of Funding Opportunities to potential 

applicants and resulting awards to 

recipients. The pre-award requirements 

are based on a need for prudent 

management in the determination that 

an applicant either has or can obtain the 

ability to competently manage 

development assistance programs using 

public funds. The requirements for 

information collection during the postaward period are based on the need to 

prudently administer public funds. 

Respondents: USAID grant and 

cooperative agreement applicants and 

recipients. 

For the three new Standard 

Provisions: 

Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 2,525. 

Estimated Number of Annual Burden 

Hours: 123,725. 

Estimated total public burden (in 

cost): $7,299,775. 

These estimated totals were 

calculated using the below burden 

estimates per response for each of the 

named Standard Provisions, which are 

published internally in the Agency’s 

Automated Directives System (ADS) 

Chapter 303 and included by Agreement 

Officers, as required or as applicable, in 

Notices of Funding Opportunities and 

resulting awards: 

Activity Monitoring, Evaluation, and 

Learning Plan (TBD 2024)—65 hours. 

Submission of Digital Information 

with a Data Management Plan (TBD 

2024)—53 hours. 

Submission of Digital Information 

without a Data Management Plan (TBD 

2024)—9 hours.
