proposed First Amendment to
Millennium Challenge Compact
between the United States of America,
acting through the Millennium
Challenge Corporation, and the

Authority: 22 U.S.C. 7708 (i) (2).
SUMMARY:
Data Users Advisory Committee;
Notice of Meeting and Agenda
Jkt 256001
Dated: October 7, 2021.
Thomas G. Hohenthaner,
Acting VP/General Counsel and Corporate
Secretary.
Summary of First Amendment to
Millennium Challenge Compact With
the Kingdom of Morocco
The Board of Directors of the
Millennium Challenge Corporation
(‘‘MCC’’) has approved an amendment
(the ‘‘Amendment’’) to the existing US
$450,000,000, five-year Millennium
Challenge Compact between the United
States of America, acting through MCC,
and the Kingdom of Morocco (the
‘‘Compact’’).
Background
The Compact was signed on
November 30, 2015 and entered into
force on June 30, 2017. The Compact
aims to contribute to economic growth
and investment in Morocco through two
projects supporting Moroccan
government priorities: The Education
and Training for Employability Project
and the Land Productivity Project.
Scope of the Amendment
MCC proposes to extend the term of
the Compact for an additional nine
months until March 31, 2023, and to
PO 00000
Frm 00079
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
provide additional funding of up to
$10,500,000. The term extension is
necessary to mitigate implementation
delays due to the COVID–19 pandemic
and to complete Compact projects as
originally contemplated. The proposed
additional funding will be used to cover
additional program administration and
related oversight costs associated with
extending the Compact’s term.
Justification for the Amendment
Notice of First Amendment to Compact
With the Kingdom of Morocco
[FR Doc. 2021–22297 Filed 10–13–21; 8:45 am]
57201
In March 2020, the Government of
Morocco imposed an almost complete
lockdown and border closure for three
months after the first COVID–19 cases
were identified in Morocco. The offices
of the Government of Morocco’s
accountable entity were closed from
March to June 2020, limiting staff to
telework. Construction works were
halted for at least three months, as were
all in-person activities such as public
consultations, trainings, and other
technical assistance activities. Travel
restrictions and border closures
disrupted global supply chains and
access to necessary supplies and
equipment. Although some restrictions
were eased during the summer of 2020,
renewed COVID–19 outbreaks during
the fall and winter led to targeted
lockdowns in several Moroccan cities.
Lockdowns and restrictions have now
been imposed intermittently for over a
year, including a lengthy national
curfew and a suspension of air travel
with over 50 countries, including most
of Europe. These restrictions have only
recently eased.
Extending the Compact term will
maximize long-term results and the
return on investment by assuring the
completion of most key activities and
increasing the likelihood that the
Government of Morocco will
successfully adopt and implement the
reform elements of the Compact and
establish a more solid foundation for
sustaining these reforms post-Compact.
The additional MCC funding is
necessary for and will be used to
support oversight and other
administrative functions during the
additional nine months of the Compact
term.
