    Title: Supplier's Certificate and Agreement with the U.S. Agency 
for International Development for Project Commodities/Invoice and 
Contract Abstract.

appropriate action in the event that they do not comply with applicable

reporting requirements are necessary to assure that USAID funds are 
expended in accordance with statutory requirements and USAID policies. 
It also allows for positive identification of transactions where 
overcharges occur.

    Total annual hours requested: 231 hours.
