AGENCY: U.S. Agency for International Development.

ACTION: Notice of public information collections.

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

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

DATES: All comments should be submitted within 30 calendar days from 
the date of this publication.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this 
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wayne Cohee, at (202) 916-2630 or via 
email at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#b7c7d8dbded4cedad6dedbd5d8cff7c2c4d6ded399d0d8c1"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="ff8f9093969c86929e96939d9087bf8a8c9e969bd1989089">[email protected]</span></a>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed information collection was 
published in the Federal Register on February 22, 2022 at 87 FR 9563, 
allowing for a 60-day public comment period. Two comments were received 
during the 60-day public comment period. The first comment expressed 
support for the 60-day public comment period. The second comment 
expressed concerns about background checks and financial audits that 
are addressed within the standard provisions; thus, no changes are 
required to the standard provisions or the burden estimates. Both 
commenters were thanked for their input via email. 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.
    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:
