AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

 
Notice of Public Information Collections Being Reviewed by the 
U.S. Agency for International Development; Comments Requested

SUMMARY: U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is making 
efforts to reduce the paperwork burden. USAID invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following proposed and/or continuing information collections, as 
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act for 1995. Comments are 
requested concerning: (a) Whether the proposed or continuing 
collections of information are necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the burden estimates; (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 the respondents, including the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

DATES: Submit comments on or before November 20, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Beverly Johnson, Bureau for 
Management, Office of Administrative Services, Information and Records 
Division, U.S. Agency for International Development, Room 2.07-106, 
RRB, Washington, DC 20523, (202) 712-1365 or via e-mail 
bjohnson@usaid.gov.


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB No: OMB 0412-0012.
    Form No.: AID 282.
    Title: Supplier's Certificate Agreement with the U.S. Agency for 
International Development Invoice-and-Contract Abstract.
    Type of Review: Renewal of Information Collection.
    Purpose: The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) 
finances goods and related services under its Commodity Import Program 
which are contracted for by public and private entities in the 
countries receiving the USAID Assistance. Since USAID is not a party to 
these contracts, USAID needs some means to collect information directly 
from the suppliers of the goods and related services and to enable 
USAID to take an appropriate action against them in the event they do 
not comply with the applicable regulations. USAID does this by securing 
from the suppliers, as a condition for the disbursement of funds a 
certificate and agreement with USAID which contains appropriate 
representations by the suppliers.
    Annual Reporting Burden:
     Respondents: 800.
     Total annual responses: 2,400.
     Total annual hours requested: 1,200.

    Dated: September 14, 2006.

Chief, Information and Records Division, Office of Administrative 
Services, Bureau for Management.
