The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) proposes to amend its regulation governing commodity transactions that are financed by USAID to: 1. Revise the criteria for noncompetitive procurement for private- sector programs to more closely reflect private-sector practices; 2. revise the commodity and package marking requirements to address the use of the new USAID Identity; 3. revise and add definitions to better specify the terminology used; 4. revise agency organizational names and acronyms to specify the current USAID usage; 5. reinstate Sec. 201.13 coverage on ocean transportation costs because it was inadvertently deleted from prior editions; 6. provide for advertising public-sector procurements over $25,000 in the USAID Procurement Bulletins as the primary means of advertising these procurements to U.S. suppliers (in lieu of advertising public-sector procurements over $100,000 in ``FedBizOpps,'' the successor to ``Commerce Business Daily'') to facilitate prompt public notification of procurement opportunities and minimize government expense in providing notice; 7. make numerous clarifications and editorial amendments to better specify the regulation; and 8. specify the current Paperwork Reduction Act approval expirations, as required by the Act.
