This information
collection request is approved for one year thru 12/01/88. The
agency in accordance with criteria to be developed with the
guidance of OMB staff should should submit separate clearance
packages for each of its information collections in the AIDAR.
These clearance packages should provide a complete listing burden
estimate, and justification for each of the information collections
in the AIDAR. The agency should provide a specific comparison of
the FAR information collections and the AIDAR requirements in each
area such that the differences are clearly distinguished. The
justification should address the following: 1) why the agency must
collect this information in addition to collections of information
specifically required by the FAR 2) why this information collection
should not be standarized across all Federal agencies that need
these data 3) if the information collection is not unique to AID,
what steps the agency has taken to refer the information collection
for consideration as a government-wide standard form, and 4) what
steps that agency has taken to eliminate those information
collections that are not necessary given the requirements of the
FAR or are duplicative with the FAR.
