public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed, 

revised, and continuing collections of 

information. This helps USAID assess 

the impact of its information collection 

requirements and minimize the public’s 

reporting burden. It also helps the 

public understand USAID’s information 

collection requirements and provide 

USAID the data it requested in the 

format it prefers. USAID is soliciting 

comments on the proposed information 

collection request (ICR) that USAID 

describes below. 

Title of Collection: USAID’s Social, 

Economic, and Environmental 

Accountability Mechanism Complaint 

Submission Form. 

OMB Control Number: Not yet 

assigned. 

Type of Review: A new information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Program participants and projectaffected people (and their 

representatives) harmed or potentially 

harmed by USAID projects or activities 

can submit complaints. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: 20. 

Frequency: 1 per respondent per year. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden 

Hours: 20 hours (20 respondents × 1

Abstract: USAID’s Social, Economic, 

and Environmental Accountability 

Mechanism (SEE–AM) Complaint 

Submission Form enables program 

participants and project-affected people 

(and their representatives) to submit 

concerns or complaints about social, 

economic, and environmental harms 

related to USAID-funded projects and 

activities. If the complaint is found 

eligible, the SEE–AM can offer two 

services: 

• Problem Solving in which a neutral 

person assists both sides to help address 

the harm; 

• Policy and Process Review in which 

the SEE–AM reviews USAID’s policies 

and processes to understand why the 

harm happened and how USAID can 

prevent it in the future; or 

• Both Problem Solving and Policy 

and Process Review.
