SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

USAID, in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This helps USAID assess the impact of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps the public understand USAID's information collection requirements and provide USAID the data it requested in the format it prefers. USAID is soliciting comments on the proposed information collection request (ICR) that USAID describes below. USAID is especially interested in public comment addressing the following issues: (1) how USAID might enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information it is planning to collect; and (2) how USAID might minimize the burden for the members of USAID's workforce who respond to the commuter survey, including by using information technology. Written comments USAID receives in response to this notice will be public records.

Title of Collection: USAID Workforce Commuter Survey.

OMB Control Number: XXXX.

Type of Review: A new information collection.

Respondents/Affected Public: USAID's workforce, including contractor staff.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 6,500.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,083.33 (6,500 * 10 mins = 65,000 mins ÷ 60 mins = 1,083.33 hours).

Abstract: USAID's workforce commuter survey enables USAID to estimate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with its workforce's commuting and to gather data on its workforce's commuting habits. USAID will use these data to inform its GHG emissions inventory, measure progress against its GHG emissions reduction targets, and inform and improve its commuter benefits program and reporting.
