Freedom of Information Act “Still Interested” Inquiry

Lokale automatische vertaling · Oorspronkelijke brontaal

Samenvatting

The Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) provides that agencies shall make records available to the public, subject to certain exemptions. In line with the Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of Information Policy (OIP) guidance, agencies may confirm whether requesters are "still interested" in pending FOIA requests before continuing processing, particularly when circumstances have changed significantly. USAID is issuing this notice to inquire about requestors still interested in having USAID process their FOIA requests. Utilizing this procedure will help USAID increase efficiency, appropriately allocate resources, and reduce backlog relating to its FOIA processing. This notice applies to requesters who submitted FOIA requests prior to January 20, 2025.

Request for Information (RFI) Regarding Sanctions and USAID Programs

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is considering updating its sanctions-related provisions and contract clauses for assistance and acquisition awards. A primary factor under review is whether to expand reporting requirements to enhance USAID's monitoring of recipients' and contractors' activities involving sanctioned jurisdictions or sanctioned individuals and entities subject to the sanctions programs administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). This reporting would facilitate the assessment of whether the U.S. Government is ensuring the efficient delivery of humanitarian and development assistance internationally to the most vulnerable people, while achieving U.S. national security objectives by minimizing benefits to sanctioned individuals and entities. This RFI supports this effort by soliciting feedback from the general public, which will be considered during the process of analyzing whether changes are required, as well as any subsequent drafting of new or revised award terms.

Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the Office of Management and Budget for Review and Approval; Comment Request; Information Collection Generic Clearance Request for USAID Monitoring, Evaluation and Research Under the Foreign Assistance Act

USAID invites public comment on our intent to request the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB's) approval for a new information collection. USAID proposes a generic clearance to collect feedback and conduct research, monitoring and evaluations of programs and policies through surveys, interviews, and focus groups to understand effectiveness of programs and policies and to discern how programs are affected by crises and other unexpected changes in context. This will help the Agency make better decisions to improve the effectiveness of programs and achieve development and foreign assistance objectives through activities pursuant to Foreign Assistance Act, including under rapidly changing conditions. This will also help safeguard U.S. National Security interests and ensure accountability to U.S. taxpayers. Information collected from USAID partners, stakeholders and program participants is a valuable resource to ensure the Agency programs and operations remain safe, relevant, efficient and effective.
