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
proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This
helps USAID assess the impact of its information collection
requirements and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps
the public understand USAID's information collection requirements and
provide USAID the data it requested in the format it prefers. USAID is
soliciting comments on the proposed information collection request
(ICR) that USAID describes below.
Title of Collection: USAID's Social, Economic, and Environmental
Accountability Mechanism Complaint Submission Form.
OMB Control Number: Not yet assigned.
Type of Review: A new information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Program participants and project-
affected people (and their representatives) harmed or potentially
harmed by USAID projects or activities can submit complaints.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 20.
Frequency: 1 per respondent per year.
Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 20 hours (20 respondents x 1
response per year x 1 hour per response).
Abstract: USAID's Social, Economic, and Environmental
Accountability Mechanism (SEE-AM) Complaint Submission Form enables
program participants and project-affected people (and their
representatives) to submit concerns or complaints about social,
economic, and environmental harms related to USAID-funded projects and
activities. If the complaint is found eligible, the SEE-AM can offer
two services:
<bullet> Problem Solving in which a neutral person assists both
sides to help address the harm;
<bullet> Policy and Process Review in which the SEE-AM reviews
USAID's policies and processes to understand why the harm happened and
how USAID can prevent it in the future; or
<bullet> Both Problem Solving and Policy and Process Review.

Accountability Mechanism Official (AMO), Bureau for Management, USAID.
