Comment Request and Notice of Public Meeting for Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) for Malaria Vector Control Interventions
Document Number: E6-3972
Type: Notice
Date: 2006-03-20
Agency: Agency for International Development, Agencies and Commissions
In compliance with 22 CFR part 216, USAID is conducting a ``Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) for Malaria Vector Control Interventions.'' This Assessment is intended to serve as a general evaluation of human health and environmental issues related to the use of certain mosquito control methods that contribute to malaria prevention and control. USAID provides financial and technical support for the use of such methods as part of national malaria control programs in USAID-assisted countries and, therefore, must conduct this Program Environmental Assessment to evaluate the potential health and environmental consequences of these agency actions. The Program Environmental Assessment will also provide guidance to USAID Missions on preparing country- and activity-specific Supplemental Environmental Assessments, which will be conducted on major individual actions that may have significant environmental impacts where such impacts have not been adequately evaluated in the Program Environmental Assessment. The PEA is intended to facilitate USAID's use of these interventions while meeting safety and efficacy guidelines. The Program Environmental Assessment will address Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS), Environmental Management and Larviciding. The content of the Assessment will include the following: Background on Malaria and Malaria Vector Control; Proposed Actions and Alternatives; Affected Environment; Human Health and Environmental Consequences; Mitigation, Monitoring and Evaluation; Regulatory, Legal and Institutional Settings; Training and Institutional Capacity Building; and Cross- Cutting Issues. USAID requests that members of the public review the Assessment and provide comments via the electronic format described below. USAID will also hold a public meeting to receive comments on the content of the Assessment.

U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has submitted the following information collections to OMB for review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments regarding this information collection are best assured of having their full effect if received within 30 days of this notification. Comments should be sent via email to David Rostker@omb.eop.gov or fax to 202-395-7285. Copies of submission may be obtained by calling (202) 712-1365. Supplementary Information: OMB Number: OMB 0412-NEW. Form Number: N/A. Title: Minority Serving Institution Database. Type of Submission: New Information Collection. Purpose: The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) requests comment on its proposal to expand its existing automated Extranet database to include voluntary registration of U.S. Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). The existing application, the Small Business Resource Database (SBRD) was placed into production at the beginning of Fiscal Year 2004. Small and Small and Disadvantaged Business interested in pursuing contracts with USAID may register with the Agency on a voluntary basis. These data are then made available via a secure Extranet conduit to Agency Program, Technical and Contact Officers worldwide. The Agency experienced a significant improvement in the amount of contracting with these entities in Fiscal Year 2004, versus USAID's performance in 2003, and in comparison to the averages for the Executive Branch of the Federal government. The Agency's performance in this regard is published at the following URL: https:// www.sba.gov/GC/goals/Goaling-Report-08-21-2005.pdf. USAID proposes to capture the voluntary registration of Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), who may be interested in pursuing grants with USAID in furtherance of the Agency's international development initiatives. The existing SBRD application, and the Extranet conduit for disseminating these data within USAID would be utilized for this purpose. This action would further the grant-making process and potentially benefit several of the three hundred and fifty-one U.S. MSIs. Additional information regarding the SBRD, which is presently in production, without the proposed expanded registration capability, may be reviewed at the following URL: https://www.usaid.gov/business/small business/vendordb.html. Annual Reporting Burden: Respondents: 351. Total annual responses: 351. Total annual hours requested: 87.75 hours.
