SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB No.: OMB 0412-0556.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Title: Monetization Report.
    Type of Review: Renewal of Information Collection.
    Purpose: The Monetization Report is used to help the U.S. Agency 
for International Development (USAID) Missions determine the status of 
the commodities monetized by the Cooperating Sponsors under the Public 
Law 480 title II program. The Monetization Profile provides USAID 
Missions with a checklist of important questions about the Cooperating 
Sponsors' monetization transactions. The Cooperating Sponsors verify 
the Free Alongside Ship (FAS) price quotation that has been provided by 
USAID's Office of Food for Peace, the foreign flag estimate or rate, 
the sales price obtained, and the method for which the commodities have 
been sold. All of this information is necessary for USAID Missions to 
collect verifiable information and to determine that Cooperating 
Sponsors are meeting USAID's cost recovery benchmark.
    Annual Reporting Burden:
    Respondents: 20.
    Total annual responses: 20.
    Total annual hours requested: 240.

    Dated: February 15, 2006.
