SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    (1) Type of Information Collections: USAID is requesting the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) to extend the approval of the 
information collections under OMB No: OMB 0412-0520 for an additional 
three years. This submission does not propose any revisions to the 
information collections.
    (2) Title of the Form: Contractor Employee Biographical Data Sheet.
    (3) Agency Form No.: AID 1420-17.
    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: The U.S. Agency for International Development 
(USAID) is authorized to contract with any corporation, international 
organization, or other body of persons in or outside of the United 
States in furtherance of the purposes and within limitations of the 
Foreign Assistance Act (FAA). The information collection requirements 
placed on the public are published in 48 CFR chapter 7, and include the 
following offeror or contractor reporting requirements, identified by 
the AIDAR section number, as specified in the AIDAR 701.106: 752.219-8, 
752.245-70, 752.245-71(c)(2), 752.247-70(c), 752.7001, 752.7002(j), 
752.7003, 752.7004 and 752.7032.
    The pre-award requirements are based on a need for prudent 
management in the determination that an offeror either has or can 
obtain the ability to competently manage development assistance 
programs using public funds. The requirements for information 
collections during the post-award period are based on the need to 
prudently administer public funds.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: USAID estimates 
that 4,873 respondents will submit 36,467 submissions per year. The 
amount of time estimated to complete each response varies by item.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collections: 49,482.
    (7) An estimate of the total public burden (in cost) associated 
with the collections: $3,139,106. Note that while the burden for these 
information collections falls on the public, most of the submissions 
are reimbursable either directly or indirectly under Agency contracts, 
the cost for most of these collections falls under the federal cost 
burden. Thus, the estimated total public cost burden that is not 
reimbursed through Agency contracts is $35,970.
