This collection
does not contain a burden estimate, consequently it is improperly
submitted to OMB. There has been a historic average used by USAID
to calculate the burden of this collection on the volunteer
agencies in the past. Perhaps looking at this estimate may aid the
agency in determining a burden estimate for this collection
presently. At this time the information provided is insuffiecient
for OMB to determine if this should be given an approval.
