Public Law 104–13. Comments regarding this information collection are best assured of having their full effect if received within 30 days of this notification.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

OMB Number: OMB 0412–New. Form Number: N/A. Title: USAID Faith-Based and Community Initiatives Contact Survey.

Type of Submission: New Information Collection.

Purpose: The Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (CFBCI) supports the commitment from the White F-louse and USAID to expand our partnership community by building broad and deep relationships with the nongovernmental organization (NGO) community at large. In order to better coordinate the Agency’s work with NGOs and to improve the effectiveness and extent of the Agency’s outreach to the NGO community, the CFBCI is requesting to send out a voluntary, electronic survey to contacts for whom we have no organizational affiliation who have previously interacted with or expressed interest in working with USAID and the CFBCI. The survey will request updated contact and organizational information on NGOs working in international development and humanitarian relief around the world. By collecting such information, the Agency will be able to engage these organizations in a more efficient and less duplicative way. In addition, it will allow the Agency to better monitor its success in engaging a broad range of NGOs. Responding to the survey is optional. An organization’s response or non-response will not have any impact positive or negative—on its future relationship with the Agency.

Annual Reporting Burden: Respondents: 3,000.

Total annual responses: 3,000. Total annual hours requested: 750 hours.

Dated: December 15, 2010. Lynn P. Winston, Acting Chief, Information and Records Division, Office of Management Services, Bureau for Management.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

OMB Number: OMB 0412–New. Form Number: N/A. Title: USAID Visa Compliance System (VCS).

Type of Submission: New Information Collection.

Purpose: The U.S. Agency for International Development, under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, engages in a broad range of sustainable economic assistance activities that provide technical and academic training in the United States and abroad for foreign nationals. These foreign nationals have been selected for training by USAID in order to advance U.S. foreign policy objectives by supporting: Economic growth, agriculture and trade; global health; and democracy conflict prevention and humanitarian assistance. Training can consist of long-term academic degree programs, short-term technical courses, seminars, workshops, or other learning activities intended to impart certain knowledge and information.

USAID must tract training data for all foreign nationals who receive training funded by USAID. In cases where foreign nationals must travel to the U.S. to participate in training or invitational travel, the approvals for the eligibility to obtain the J visa are captured in the Visa Compliance System (VCS). The Visa Compliance system has two purposes: First, to secure a J–1 visa for these foreign nationals traveling to the US.; second, to enable USAID to be in compliance with external requirements of the Department of Homeland Security. With certain exceptions, the foreign nationals that USAID sponsors for travel to the U.S. are considered exchange visitors. The VCS provides an audit trail regarding exchange visitor, his or her training program or circumstances, as well as other relevant documentation.

Annual Reporting Burden: Respondents: 600.

Total annual responses: 8,000. Total annual hours requested: 2,000 hours.
