60-Day Notice for Soliciting and Assessing Feedback From IAF
Grantees (PRA)
AGENCY: Inter-American Foundation.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Inter-American Foundation (IAF), as part of its continuing
efforts to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to provide the general public and
federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. This program helps ensure that requested data is
provided in the desired format; reporting burden (time and financial
resources) is minimized; collection instruments are clearly understood;
and the impact of collection requirements on respondents is properly
assessed.
DATES: Written comments must be submitted to the office listed in the

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Kaitlin Stastny, Inter-American Foundation,
via email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#99f2eaedf8eaedf7e0d9f0f8ffb7fef6ef"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="751e06011406011b0c351c14135b121a03">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IAF works to promote sustainable
development in Latin America and the Caribbean by offering small
investments directly to civil society organizations through funding
actions, such as grants and cooperative agreements. By gathering
perceptions from grantees on how the IAF works as a funder, the IAF is
able to assess its performance and identify opportunities for
improvements. The IAF seeks to work with a contractor to independently
carry out this survey with IAF grantees. The contractor will use an
online survey with a set of standardized questions focused primarily on
grant processes, such as the approach to grant selection, the time
lapse between selection and commitment, and reporting and evaluation.
The contractor will also apply these standardized questions to other
funders, thus providing the IAF with findings relative to that of other
comparable organizations. The IAF is particularly interested in
comments which:
--Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility;
--Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
--Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected; and
--Can help the agency minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of responses.
A Notice by the Inter-American Foundation on August 24, 2022.

Acting General Counsel.
