    OMB No: 0412-0579.
    Form No.: AID 309-2.
    Title: Offeror Information for Personal Services Contracts With 
Individuals.
    Type of Review: Renewal of a currently approved collection.
    Purpose: United States Agency for International Development must 
collect information for reporting purposes to Congress and the Office 
of Acquisition and Assistance Contract Administration. This form will 
be used to collect information to determine the most qualified person 
for a position without gathering information that may lead to 
discrimination or bias towards or gathered from applicant.

    U.S. Respondents: 12,600.
    Total Annual U.S. Responses: 12,600.
    Total Annual Hours Requested: 12,600 hours.
    The burden estimate is based on the average number of PSC awards 
made over the past three years, which is 600. The average number of 
offerors received for each solicitation is 21. Therefore, the total 
number of offers received is 600 x 21=12,600. The amount of time

    The burden estimate is based on the average number of PSC awards

solicitation is 21. Therefore, the total number of offers received is 
600 x 21 = 12,600. The estimated time is based on the amount of time 
needed to read, provide employment information and experience needed to 
apply for a position. We estimate the annual cost to respondents to be 
about $652,932. The respondents are mostly individuals of various 
sources submitting offers for a position that average the salary of a 
GS13 step 5 which averages $51.82/hr.
