Comment: One comment said that the
RIN cited in the 60-day notice for future
rulemaking had been withdrawn and
asked about the status of the
rulemaking.
Response: The rule with RIN: 0412–
AA90 has not been withdrawn; it is still
in the unified agenda.
Comment: Two comments asked for
more information regarding the
rulemaking under RIN 0412–AA90,
including how the information
collection would be updated during
rulemaking.
Response: This information collection
request will be updated in conjunction
with the rulemaking to cover the full
range of digital information for which
submission will be required into DIS.
Please see the forthcoming notice of
proposed rulemaking for additional
information about the rulemaking under
RIN 0412–AA90 and submit comments
or questions following the instructions
in that notice.
Comment: One comment noted
technical difficulty in setting up
login.gov accounts.
Response: Contractors and recipients
should contact their AORs/CORs
regarding technical difficulties. The
login.gov ‘‘help center’’ is also an
available resource.
Comment: One comment noted poor
alignment between DIS and the
indicators contained in monitoring and
evaluation plans required under awards,
and recommended greater flexibility for
input fields in DIS.
Response: DIS should align with the
indicators contained in approved
monitoring and evaluation plans, when
such plans are required under awards.
Contractors and recipients should
contact their CORs/AORs regarding any
disparities.
Comment: One comment noted
character limitations for the input fields
for deviation narrative were too
restrictive.
Response: USAID’s DIS team will
consider this feedback for future system
enhancement.
Comment: One comment noted that
the reporting window in DIS to submit
indicator data has not been long enough.
Response: Contractors and recipients
should contact their CORs/AORs
regarding access issues.
Purpose
USAID is implementing the
Development Information Solution (DIS)
Pilot to consolidate reporting, improve
efficiencies, and facilitate evidencebased decision-making. The purpose of
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
this information collection is to require
USAID contractors and grant recipients
who collect indicator data under their
award terms to: (1) Submit information
to request access to the DIS, and (2) to
submit indicator information to the DIS,
which is collected under special award
requirements unique to each award. In
order to request access to the DIS,
contractors and recipients of grants and
cooperation agreements will need to
submit the following information to
USAID using either the Development
Information Solution System Access
Request Form, AID 545–11 (11/2020) or,
when available, an electronic form
integrated into DIS: Name, contact
telephone number, name of
organization, Login.gov username
(which is the address used for Login.gov
access), award number, award
expiration date, the activities for which
access is requested, and a signature and
date to acknowledge agreement to the
listed Rules of Behavior. We estimate
that two persons may request access for
each award that requires the collection
of indicator data.
Contractors and recipients will use
the access to DIS during the pilot to
submit indicator data and narratives,
including on the deviation between
targets and actuals, when required as a
subset of performance reporting under
special award requirements. We
estimate that indicator information will
be submitted to DIS quarterly. As the
DIS pilot progresses, USAID will use
information from the pilot to inform
rulemaking under Regulation Identifier
Number (RIN) 0412–AA90, which will
require contractors and grant recipients
to submit digital information required
under awards through the DIS, replacing
other current methods of submission.
This information collection request will
be updated in conjunction with the
rulemaking to capture digital
information submission requirements
for information collected under other
standard award terms.

Solution Pilot.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Congress
enacted The United States Grain
Standards Act (USGSA) (7 U.S.C. 71–
87k) to facilitate the marketing of grain
in interstate and foreign commerce. The
USGSA, with few exceptions, requires
all grain shipped from the United States
to be officially inspected and weighed.
The USGSA authorizes the Department
of Agriculture to waive the mandatory
inspection and weighing requirements
in circumstances when the objectives of
the USGSA would not be impaired.
Section 7 CFR 800.18 of the
regulations waives the mandatory
inspection and weighing requirements
of the USGSA for high quality specialty
grain exported in containers. This
waiver was established to facilitate the
marketing of high quality specialty grain
exported in containers. This action is
consistent with the objectives of the
USGSA and promotes the continuing
development of the high quality
specialty grain export market.
FGIS requires exporters to maintain
records pertaining to these shipments
and to make them available upon
request for review or copying purposes
(76 FR 45397). These records shall be
maintained for a period of 3 years. This
information collection requirement is
essential to ensure exporters who ship
high quality specialty grain in
containers comply with the waiver
provisions. FGIS does not require
exporters of high quality specialty grain
to complete and submit new Federal
government record(s), form(s), or
report(s).
Title: Export Inspection and Weighing
Waiver for High Quality Specialty
Grains Transported in Containers.
OMB Number: 0581–0306.
Expiration Date of Approval: August
31, 2021.
Type of Request: Extension and
revision of a currently approved

Abstract: The regulations under the
USGSA waive the mandatory inspection

to facilitate the marketing of high
quality specialty grain exported in

this waiver, FGIS required these
exporters to maintain records generated
during their normal course of business
that pertain to these shipments and

purposes.
