The AIDAR is USAID's supplement to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). AIDAR information collection elements are for prudent management and administration of public funds under USAID contracts, to provide services to small businesses, benefits to contractor employees, or to determine contractor responsibility.
The considerable reduction in the number of respondents, as compared to the previous submission, is due a mathematical error we have identified in our previous calculations. The annualized cost for the Annual Public Burden amount increased due to an increase in the number of hours required to complete each submission, which was based on comments received from the public.
Additionally, eight more ICs were added to this submission to correct an error that occurred with all previous submissions, which did not accurately account for the burden to the public for anything other than the Biographical Data Sheet.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
