*OMB No:*                     0412-0510 (expired).                

*Title of Information Collection:*                     Applicant and Recipient Information Collected in Response to Standard Provisions in USAID Grants and Cooperative Agreements to Non-Governmental Organizations.                

*Type of Review:*                     Reinstatement, with change, of a previously approved collection (OMB approval number 0412-0510) for which approval has expired.                

*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.                

*Estimated Number of Annual Responses:*                     1,210.                

*Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours:*                     22,100.                

*Estimated Total Public Burden (in cost):*                     $1,303,900.                

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:
