SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: USAID, in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the 
general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on 
the proposed survey.
    Title of Collection: Collaborating, Learning, and Adapting Case 
Competition.
    OMB Control Number: XXXXXX.
    Type of Review: A new information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: USAID partners and staff.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 85.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 837.
    Abstract: When a partner or USAID staff member decides to 
participate in the annual Collaborating, Learning, and Adapting (CLA) 
Case Competition, they must download the CLA Case Competition 
Submission Form from USAID's Learning Lab website. Through answering 
the six question form, they detail the context in which they were 
working, the specific manner in which they applied a CLA approach (or 
approaches) and describe the result of using that approach. The answers 
to these questions, plus a summary and a photo, constitute their 
submission to the competition. When they submit their case competition 
submission, they must also submit the CLA Case Competition Web 
Submission Form. This form captures additional information about the 
case, the organization submitting the form, and their experience with 
the case competition, as well as point of contact information. The CLA 
Case Competition Submission Form is shared with the public through 
USAID's Learning Lab website. The information from the CLA Case 
Competition Web Submission form is kept in a restricted online file.
    USAID and the Office of Management and Budget are particularly 
interested in comments that:
    1. 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;
    2. 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;
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    4. 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 
submissions of responses.
