The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments
are requested regarding; whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility; the
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to
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.
Comments regarding this information collection received by July 6,
2023 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for the
proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days of
the publication of this notice on the following website
<a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular information
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for
Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
Foreign Agricultural Service
Title: USDA Local and Regional Food Aid Procurement Program.
OMB Control Number: 0551-0046.
Summary of Collection: The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign
Agricultural Service (FAS) awards funds to recipients under the USDA
Local and Regional Food Aid Procurement Program (USDA LRP Program). The
Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (the ``2008 Farm Bill''), as
amended by the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (the ``2018 Farm
Bill''), provided that the Secretary of Agriculture will provide grants
to, or enter into cooperative agreements with, eligible organizations
to implement field-based projects that consist of local or regional
procurements of eligible commodities in developing countries to provide
development assistance and respond to food crisis and disasters, in the
case of emergencies, in consultation with United States Agency for
International Development's (USAID) Offices of Food for Peace. The USDA
LRP Program aims to support development activities to strengthen the
trade capacity of food-insecure developing countries and address the
cause of chronic food insecurity.
Need and Use of the Information: FAS will collect information from
the Participant to determine its ability to carry out a food aid
program, to establish the terms under which procured commodities will
be provided, to monitor the progress of procurement of commodities
(including how transportation is procured), to monitor the progress of
expenditure of funds, and to evaluate both the program's success and
the Participant's effectiveness in meeting intended results. Without
the information it would be significantly more difficult to monitor and
evaluate the effectiveness and compliance of Participant's program
implementation.
Description of Respondents: Private voluntary organizations,
cooperatives, and intergovernmental organizations.
Number of Respondents: 3.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: Semi-annually;
Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 9,174.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
