Summary Form Under Review
Title of Collection: Grant Management System Registration, IAF-01.
Type of Review: New information collection.
[[Page 77107]]
OMB Control Number: Not assigned, new information collection.
Type of Respondent/Affected Public: Private Sector, Businesses or
other for profits, Not-for-profit institutions.
Frequency: Once.
Estimated Number of Respondents per Year: 1,400.
Estimated Time per Respondent: 0.1 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 140 hours.
Abstract: The IAF works to promote sustainable development in Latin
America and the Caribbean by directly supporting qualified civil
society organizations through funding actions, such as grants and
cooperative agreements. This collection will allow grant seekers to
register for a new online IAF grant portal if they meet basic
eligibility requirements. Transition to an online portal will allow
electronic grant application and reporting which will increase the
efficiency of IAF's grant management program.
Summary Form Under Review
Title of Collection: Grant Application, IAF-02.
Type of Review: New information collection.
OMB Control Number: Not assigned, new information collection.
Type of Respondent/Affected Public: Private Sector, Businesses or
other for profits, Not-for-profit institutions.
Frequency: Once.
Estimated Number of Respondents per Year: 1,400.
Estimated Time per Respondent: 14 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 19,600 hours.
Abstract: The IAF works to promote sustainable development in Latin
America and the Caribbean by directly supporting qualified civil
society organizations through funding actions, such as grants and
cooperative agreements. This collection will gather application
information directly from grant seekers including details about the
applicant's organization, the development opportunity, and proposed
project activities. Using this information, IAF is able to perform an
initial assessment of the proposed project and determine which
applicants are qualified as well as which projects are best positioned
to advance grassroots development in the region. The IAF has made an
effort to standardize the basic level of information required for this
review in order to reduce the burden on both applicants and IAF staff
reviewing the applications.
Summary Form Under Review
Title of Collection: Grant Programmatic and Financial Reporting,
IAF-03.
Type of Review: New information collection.
OMB Control Number: Not assigned, new information collection.
Type of Respondent/Affected Public: Private Sector, Businesses or
other for profits, Not-for-profit institutions.
Frequency: Twice a year.
Estimated Number of Respondents per year: 450.
Estimated Time per Respondent: 18 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 16,200 hours.
Abstract: The IAF works to promote sustainable development in Latin
America and the Caribbean by directly supporting qualified civil
society organizations through funding actions, such as grants and
cooperative agreements. In order to track grant progress toward desired
results and ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of the
agreement, the IAF seeks to establish a requirement that grantees
provide programmatic and financial information every six months during
the grant period, including reporting on project indicators, narrative
data on grant achievements and challenges, and a record of spent funds.
This information is necessary as it allows IAF to ensure that the
grantee is using project funds responsibly and making the necessary
strides toward achieving the results laid out in the grant agreement.
