Purpose
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is authorized
to make contracts with any corporation, international organization, or
other body of persons in or outside of the United States in furtherance
of the purposes and within limitations of the Foreign Assistance Act
(FAA). As part of this authority, USAID requests certain information
from contractors using contract clauses in the USAID Acquisition
Regulation (AIDAR). USAID has an existing Information Collection under
OMB No: OMB 0412-0520. This information collection includes the
following offeror or contractor reporting requirements, identified by
the AIDAR section number, as specified in the AIDAR 701.106: 752.219-8,
752.245-70, 752.245-71(c)(2), 752.247-70(c), 752.7001, 752.7002(j),
752.7003, 752.7004 and 752.7032. Other information collection
requirements under the AIDAR exist under separate OMB approvals.
The pre-award requirements are based on a need for prudent
management in the determination that an offeror either has or can
obtain the ability to competently manage development assistance
programs using public funds. The requirements for information
collection during the post-award period are based on the need to
prudently administer public funds. USAID most recently renewed this
approval effective July 15, 2021 (86 FR 31693). This current renewal
makes no revisions to existing clauses or underlying forms and updates
burden estimates.
Comments are requested concerning: (a) Whether the collections of
information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions
of the Agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the burden estimates; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology.
USAID will only address comments that explain why the proposed
collection would be inappropriate, ineffective, or unacceptable without
a change. Comments that are insubstantial or outside the scope of the
notice of request for public comment may not be considered.
