OMB Control Number: 0551-0035.
Summary of Collection: The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign
Agricultural Service (FAS) provides U.S. agricultural commodities to
feed millions of hungry people in needy countries through direct

through four program authorities: Food for Progress, section 416(b),
the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition

``Foreign Donation Programs'') and the McGovern-Dole International Food
for Education and Child Nutrition (``McGovern-Dole'') Program,
information is gathered from applicants desiring to receive federal
awards under the programs to determine the viability of requests for
resources to implement activities in foreign countries. Recipients of
awards under the programs must submit compliance reports and other
information until activities carried out with donated commodities or
funds, or local currencies generated from the sale of donated
commodities, are completed.

Recipients to determine its ability to carry out a food aid program, to
establish the terms under which commodities will be provided, to
monitor the progress of commodity distribution (including how
transportation is procured), to monitor the progress of expenditure of
monetization funds, and to evaluate both the program's success and the
Recipient's effectiveness in meeting intended results.
