Partner Vetting in USAID Assistance
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) proposes to amend its regulation governing the administration of USAID- funded assistance awards to implement a Partner Vetting System (PVS). The purpose of the Partner Vetting System is to help ensure that USAID funds and other resources do not inadvertently benefit individuals or entities that are terrorists, supporters of terrorists or affiliated with terrorists, while also minimizing the impact on USAID programs and its implementing partners. In order to apply the PVS to USAID assistance, USAID proposes to amend 22 CFR Part 226. The Office of Management and Budget has approved a 30 day comment period. This proposed regulatory revision is a key requirement of the Agency's plan for the pilot program and any other vetting programs.

It does so by revising USAID's current source, origin and nationality (S/O/N) regulation to track more closely the statutory procurement authority provided under the FAA and referenced above by establishing a new code for procurements from the U.S., recipient country and developing countries as well as reflecting existing, special procurement authorities established by Congress; deleting the concept of ``origin,'' and simplifying the concepts of ``source'' and ``nationality'' to reflect better Congress's directive to procure from the U.S., recipient or developing countries; and simplifying application of the statutory waiver authority in the FAA.
