SUMMARY: Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposals, Submissions, and Approvals,
OMB Number: OMB 04120576 Form Number: N/A.
Title: Security firm Survey.
Type of Submission: Renewal of Information Collection.
Purpose: It has become increasingly necessary in today's international environment for USAID to employ security firms to assist in providing a secure environment for its overseas employees. Due to the recent event involving the use of deadly force by U.S. Government contractors and/or subcontractors or subgrantees in Iraq, there is now a tremendous amount of interest in how, when and where the Government uses these private security firms. This necessity and resulting heightened scrutiny will continue for the foreseeable future.
USAID's Office of Acquisition and Assistance (``OAA'') must
therefore closely monitor the types of security service contracts and
agreements USAID missions enter into and how these contracts/grants are
implemented. Approximately 20 missions have entered into security
service contracts/agreements and most of the information OAA requests
can be gathered within the mission without burdening the contractors/
grantees. Missions will be instructed to contact the contractors/
grantees on a limited basis only when the information cannot be obtained internally.
Annual Reporting Burden:
Respondents: 20.
Total annual responses: 20.
Total annual hours requested: 60 hours.
Dated: May 8, 2008.
