The Agency for International Development (USAID) is collecting this additional information in order to conduct screening of potential recipients of USAID contracts, grants or other funding assistance. The information will be used for screening of non-governmental organizations, both profit and non-profit, who bid on contracts or apply for grants or other funding assistance in order to prevent inadvertent support to entities or individuals associated with terrorism. The respondents are those non-governmental organizations or individuals applying for USAId funding assistance.

The original intent of the Partner Information Form (PIF) enabled USAID to collect information from individuals and/or officers of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) who apply for USAID contracts, grants,cooperative agreements, other funding from USAID, or who apply for registration with USAID as Private and Voluntary Organizations (PVO). Collection of personally identifiable information from these individuals is specifically used to conduct screening to ensure that neither USAID funds nor USAID-funded activities inadvertently provide support to entities or individuals associated with terrorism. Since the initial approval of the PIF used initially in West/Bank Gaza, USAID has implemented a similar vetting program in Afghanistan and is currently developing a pilot program in five additional countries which will be implemented by the end of calendar 2012. Due to the anticipated increased use of the form with Afghanistan and the pilot program USAID has adjusted the anticipated number of respondents to 44,000 and adjusted the time burden accordingly.
