SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB No: OMB 0412-0555.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Title: Monthly Commodity Status Report/Monthly Recipient Status 
Report.
    Type of Review: Renewal of Information Collection.
    Purpose: The Monthly Commodity Status Report/Monthly Recipient 
Status Report (MCSR/MRSR) allows the Office of Food for Peace (FFP) to 
track exactly how commodities are distributed. The Cooperating Sponsor 
submits an Annual Estimate of Requirements (AER) each year. The AER is 
an estimate of how much food is needed for a specified number of 
beneficiaries in a particular country. The MCSR/MRSR allows FFP to 
track the commodities from the amount requested on the AER to what is 
actually distributed. The MCSR tracks the commodities for each program 
and the MRSR tracks the number of recipients or beneficiaries reached 
each month under each FFP program.
    Annual Reporting Burden:
    Respondents: 20.
    Total annual responses: 240.
    Total annual hours requested: 24.

    Dated: February 15, 2006.
