Abstract: USAID is seeking emergency consideration of its Information Collection Review that aims to require contractors and NGOs receiving USAID funds for COVID-19 global health programming to collect and report performance data on a regular basis through USAID’s web-based Development Information Solution (DIS). The information request will be limited to the Global Vax surge countries and seven others that received a significant investment of at least $4.275 million in COVID-19 funding in FY22Q4.

Emergency Justfication: USAID requests emergency OMB approval to conduct this essential information collection activity on a mandatory basis utilizing the web-based Development Information Solution (DIS) platform. Emergency approval is being sought under 5 C.F.R. § 1320.13(a)(2) which allows for emergency processing of collections of information in instances where an agency cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures because (ii) an unanticipated event – the COVID-19 pandemic – has occurred and (iii) normal procedures would likely prevent or disrupt the timely collection of this information or cause a deadline to be missed. Delaying efforts to monitor activities that further the Administration’s Initiative for Global Vaccine Access would hinder USAID’s ability to save lives, preserve livelihoods, and mitigate risks to critical infrastructure around the world.
