Abstract: This information collection relates to three final rules published on January 27, 2026. 91 FR 3319, 91 FR 3332, and 91 FR 3345. These rules implement the President’s Protecting Human Flourishing in Foreign Assistance (PHFFA) policy, by requiring recipients of U.S. foreign assistance funds to agree to certain terms and conditions. In summary, foreign NGOs, U.S. NGOs, and international organizations are required to comply with the policy (foreign governments and parastatals may also be required to comply with the policies, but those entities are not ‘‘persons’’ under the Paperwork Reduction Act, thus not covered by this notice) and agree that during the period of the award they will segregate records so that the Department can verify that they are not violating the terms of the foreign assistance grants that were provided to them. Full details are included in the three final rules.
