Notice of Public Information Collection
Requirements Submitted to OMB for
Review
Summary: 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-Report08-21-2005.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://

Respondents: 351.
Total annual responses: 351.
