SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: USAID previously published a Notice of
Public Information Collection in the Federal Register on September 23,
2024 at 87 FR 77471 allowing for a 60-day public comment period. That
Notice published the intent of USAID to seek a revision to OMB approval
number 0412-0510 to allow information collections that would be
required by the future addition of three new Standard Provisions in
USAID's Automated Directives System (ADS) Chapter 303, USAID Grants and
Cooperative Agreements to Non-Governmental Organizations. The three new
Standard Provisions would be entitled: 1. Activity Monitoring,
Evaluation, and Learning Plans (AMELPs); 2. Planning, Collection, and
Submission of Digital Information to USAID With Data Management Plan
(DMP); and 3. Planning, Collection, and Submission of Digital
Information to USAID Without Data Management Plan (DMP).
In response to a comment received on the 60-day notice, in which
the respondent asked if USAID intends to publish the full text of the
three new Standard Provisions, USAID will include the draft text of the
three new Standard Provisions as an attachment to this notice in the
docket on <a href="https://www.regulations.gov/">https://www.regulations.gov/</a>.
The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for
public comment. Comments are requested concerning: (a) whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of functions of the agency, including the practical utility
of the information; (b) the accuracy of USAID's estimate of the burden
of the proposed collection of information; (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
respondents.
All comments must be in writing and submitted through the method(s)
specified in the Addresses section above. All submissions must include
the information collection title.
Please include your name, title, organization, postal address
telephone number, and email address in the text of the message. Please
note that comments submitted in response to this Notice are public
record. We recommend that you do not submit detailed personal
information, Confidential Business Information, or any information that
is otherwise protected from disclosure by statute.
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.
OMB No: 0412-0510.
Form: No Form associated with this collection.
Title of Information Collection: United States Agency for
International Development (USAID) Automated Directives System (ADS)
Chapter 303 Standard Provisions Information Collection.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection (OMB
No. 0412-0510).
Purpose: USAID is authorized to make grants to and enter
cooperative agreements with Non-Governmental Organizations in or
outside of the United States in furtherance of the purposes and within
limitations of the Foreign Assistance Act (FAA). The information
collection requirements placed on the public are published in Standard
Provisions that are included, as required or as applicable, in Notices
of Funding Opportunities to potential applicants and resulting awards
to recipients. The pre-award requirements are based on a need for
prudent management in the determination that an applicant 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.
Respondents: USAID grant and cooperative agreement applicants and
recipients.
For the Three New Standard Provisions (total):
Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 2,525.
Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 123,725.
Estimated Total Public Burden (in cost): $7,299,775.
These estimated totals were calculated using the below burden
estimates per response for each of the named Standard Provisions, which
are published internally in the Agency's ADS Chapter 303 and included
by Agreement Officers, as required or as applicable, in Notices of
Funding Opportunities and resulting awards:
Activity Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning Plan (TBD 2025)--65
hours.
Submission of Digital Information with a Data Management Plan (TBD
2025)--53 hours.
Submission of Digital Information without a Data Management Plan
(TBD 2025)--9 hours.
