AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Annual
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Survey for USAID's
Workforce
AGENCY: United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
ACTION: Notice of emergency OMB approval.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the emergency review procedures of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the United States Agency for
International Development (USAID), is announcing that it is requesting
emergency approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a
new information collection to survey its collective workforce to share
their thoughts to help inform decision making and actions around
diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility to help strengthen,
empower, and support our global workforce.
DATES: USAID plans to initially seek information in July 2022, then
annually thereafter.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information
should be directed to Kiona Owens @<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#7c1715130b19120f3c090f1d1518521b130a"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="ddb6b4b2aab8b3ae9da8aebcb4b9f3bab2ab">[email protected]</span></a> or on (202) 712-
7017.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.13, the Agency
submitted a request for emergency approval of new information
collection from the agency's workforce on DEIA, including U.S. Direct
Hires (permanent and temporary) U.S. Personal Services Contractors,
Institutional Support Contractors, Cooperating Country Nationals, and
other expanded demographic categories in 6 main areas on a 5-point
Likert scale, including 11 profile questions, 7 equity questions, 14
accessibility questions, and 29 talent impact questions.
Description of Proposed Use of Information
The information will be collected via a digital survey and used by
the workforce to capture the viewpoints and perceptions of USAID
headquarters and overseas employees across all hiring mechanisms and at
all grades and ranks; allow for data disaggregation by Bureau,
Independent Office, and Mission; provide data for analysis to support
evidence-based and data-driven approaches to determine whether and to
what extent Agency policies programs, and practices present barriers to
equal and equitable and opportunities and employment outcomes and what
needs to be changed or developed to remove said barriers; and to
support USAID efforts to monitor and report on DEIA and EEO program
effectiveness, enabling continuous program improvement.
Time Burden
OMB's approval enables USAID to engage 11,000 respondents. Each
respondent will be able to provide 20 minutes in participation time,
totaling 3,666 estimated time burden of this proposed information
collection.

Global Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) Advisor,
