In the box below, you may wish to provide information about yourself and the purpose of your request to help us determine your fee category.

Fees for searching, copying, and processing records in this category may be levied in accordance with OPM’s regulations at 22 C.F.R. § 212.35. If you ask for a waiver or reduction of fees, you can also use this box to provide an explanation. Attach a separate page if you need more space than provided below.

A representative of the news media and this request is part of a news dissemination function and not for commercial use.

Requesting the information in order to contribute significantly to the public understanding of the operations or activities of the government and I do not primarily have a commercial interest in the information.

Privacy Act Statement:

Information provided by a requester will be used to locate and provide the requester responsive records pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. § 552), and/or the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. § 552a). Authority to collect this information is contained in 5 U.S.C. § 552, 5 U.S.C. § 552a, and 22 C.F.R. § 215.4. The purpose of the collection is to enable the U.S. Agency for International Development to locate applicable records and to respond to requests made under the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act of 1974. Failure to provide the required information may result in no action being taken on the request.



Routine Use:

The routine use of this information is for identification purposes and to locate records associated with the requesting individual. Disclosure of this information is mandatory in order to correctly identify the records being requested.



Information Regarding Disclosure of your Social Security Number (SSN) under Public Law 93-579, Section 7 (b):

Solicitation of Social Security Numbers (SSNs) by USAID is authorized under the provision of Executive Order 9397, dated November 22, 1943. Providing your social security number is voluntary. You are asked to provide your social security number only to facilitate the identification of records relating to you. Without your social security number, USAID may be unable to locate records pertaining to you. The use of SSNs is necessary because of the large number of Federal employees, contractors, civilians, and military personnel who have identical names and/or birth date and whose identities can only be distinguished by their SSNs.



Public Burden Statement:

Public burden reporting for this collection of information is estimated to be an average of 9 minutes per response, including time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding the accuracy of this burden estimation and any suggestions for reducing the burden to: U.S. Agency for International Development, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Ronald Reagan Building, Suite 2.07C, Washington, DC 20523-2701.
