Agency for International Development February 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Rules on Source, Origin and Nationality for Commodities and Services Financed by USAID
Document Number: 2011-3401
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2011-02-16
Agency: Agency for International Development, Agencies and Commissions
The purpose of this notice is to solicit comments on whether changes are needed to USAID's rules on Source, Origin, and Nationality (S/O/N). This solicitation is in furtherance of a USAID initiative to review and if necessary, revise these rules in order to reduce the burden of procurement processes for USAID and contractors and grantees implementing USAID-funded development assistance activities and programs. In particular, USAID wishes to simplify Agency S/O/N procedures as implemented in our regulations and align them more closely with statutory procurement authorities.
Notice of Public Information Collection Requirements Submitted to OMB for Review
Document Number: 2011-2669
Type: Notice
Date: 2011-02-09
Agency: Agency for International Development, Agencies and Commissions
This Federal Register notice was originally published on October 29, 2010 (75 FR 66724) and is being republished. Unfortunately, it appears that supporting documentation sent to OMB included language from USAID's December 2002 certification rather than from its September 2004 certification attached. The agency has worked with OMB to correct this error. Also, revisions were made regarding the certification burden due to the respondents providing a response three times a year vs. two. In addition, less preparation time was required for all involved parties due to their familiarity with the certification process and salary costs and benefits costs increased due to inflation and an increase in the cost of living. U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has resubmitted 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 e-mail to OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov (attention: USAID desk officer) or fax to 202-395-6882.
