SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Providing Accountability Through Transparency Act of 2023
The Providing Accountability Through Transparency Act of 2023 (12
U.S.C. 553(b)(4)) requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking include
the internet address of a summary of not more than 100 words in length
of the proposed rule, in plain language, that shall be posted on the
internet website under section 206(d) of the E-Government Act of 2002
(44 U.S.C. 3501 note). In summary: ``USAID seeks public comment on a
proposed rule that would revise the Agency for International

The proposal, including the summary provided herein, can be found
at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>.
B. Additional Information
USAID is publishing in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
this Federal Register a final rule with the same title that identifies
administrative and editorial revisions to the Assistance Regulation.
USAID is publishing these changes in the direct final rule because the
Agency views it as a conforming and administrative amendment and does
not anticipate any adverse comments. A detailed discussion of revisions
proposed to the Assistance Regulation is set forth in the preamble of
the direct final rule. If no significant adverse comment is received in
response to the direct final rule, no further action will be taken
related to this proposed rule. If significant adverse comment(s) are
received on the direct final rule, USAID will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public of changes to
what part(s) or subpart(s) of the Assistance Regulation, as announced
in the direct final rule, will not take effect. Any portions of the
final rule for which no significant adverse comment is received will
become final after the designated period. All public comments received
on the direct final rule will be addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on this proposed rule. USAID will not institute a second comment
period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do
so at this time.
C. Instructions
All comments must be in writing and submitted through one of the
methods specified in the Addresses section above. All submissions must
include the title of the action and RIN for this rulemaking. Please
include your name, title, organization, postal address, telephone
number, and email address in the text of the message. Please note,
however, that because security screening precautions have slowed the
delivery and dependability of surface mail to USAID/Washington, USAID
recommends sending all comments to the Federal eRulemaking Portal. All
comments received will be posted without change to the Federal
eRulemaking Portal including any personal information provided. As
noted above, in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal
Register, USAID is publishing a direct final rule with the same title
that announces revisions to the Agency for International Development
Assistance Regulation at 2 CFR 700. For detailed information on these
revisions, please see the direct final rule.
Jami J. Rodgers,
Chief Acquisition Officer.
