AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT


60-Day Notice of Public Information Collection

AGENCY: U.S. Agency for International Development.

ACTION: Notice of public information collection.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) seeks 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the information 
collection described below. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, USAID requests public comment on this collection from all 
interested individuals and organizations.

DATES: Submit comments on or before November 22, 2024.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 60 days of publication of 
this notice to https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this 
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wayne Cohee, at (202) 230-4575 or via 
email at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#86f6e9eaefe5ffebe7efeae4e9fec6f3f5e7efe2a8e1e9f0"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f686999a9f958f9b979f9a94998eb68385979f92d8919980">[email protected]</span></a>.

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 post-award 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.

Senior Procurement Executive, USAID.
