SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: USAID 

previously published a Notice of Public 

Information Collection in the Federal 

Register on September 23, 2024 at 87 FR 

77471 allowing for a 60-day public 

comment period. That Notice published 

the intent of USAID to seek a revision 

to OMB approval number 0412–0510 to 

allow information collections that 

would be required by the future 

addition of three new Standard 

Provisions in USAID’s Automated 

Directives System (ADS) Chapter 303, 

USAID Grants and Cooperative 

Agreements to Non-Governmental 

Organizations. The three new Standard 

Provisions would be 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). 

In response to a comment received on 

the 60-day notice, in which the 

respondent asked if USAID intends to 

publish the full text of the three new 

Standard Provisions, USAID will 

include the draft text of the three new 

Standard Provisions as an attachment to 

this notice in the docket on https://

www.regulations.gov/. 

The purpose of this notice is to allow 

an additional 30 days for public 

comment. Comments are requested 

concerning: (a) whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of functions 

of the agency, including the practical 

utility of the information; (b) the 

accuracy of USAID’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; and (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on respondents. 

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 (total): 

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 

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 2025)—65 hours. 

Submission of Digital Information 

with a Data Management Plan (TBD 

2025)—53 hours. 

Submission of Digital Information 

without a Data Management Plan (TBD 

2025)—9 hours.
