                otherwise protected from disclosure by statute.

                be inappropriate, ineffective, or unacceptable without a change.
                Comments that are insubstantial or outside the scope of the notice of
                request for public comment may not be considered.

                 Evaluate the accuracy of our estimate of the time and cost
                burden for this proposed collection, including the validity of the
                methodology and assumptions used.
                 Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the

                 Minimize the reporting burden on respondents, including

                Abstract of Proposed Collection
                 USAID collects information from individuals and organizations to
                conduct screening to help ensure that USAID funds, USAID-funded
                activities, or other resources will not be used to provide support to
                entities or individuals deemed to be a risk to national security.
                 USAID vets prospective awardees seeking funding from USAID to
                mitigate the risk that such funds might benefit entities or individuals
                who present a national security risk. To conduct vetting, USAID
                collects information from prospective awardees and subawardees
                regarding their directors, officers, and/or key employees. The
                information collected is compared to information gathered from
                commercial, public, and U.S. government databases to determine the risk
                that the applying organization or individual might use Agency funds or
                programs in a way that presents a threat to national security.
                Methodology
                 USAID collects information via mail or electronic submission.
                Colleen Allen,
                Director, Bureau for Management, Office of Management Policy, Budget,
                and Performance, U.S. Agency for International Development.
