U.S. Agency for International Development has submitted the
following information collection (ICR), utilizing emergency review
procedures, to the Office of Management Budget (OMB) for review and
clearance accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (P.L.
104-13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). OMB approval has been requested by

Written comments and questions about ICR listed below should be
forwarded to Victoria Wassmer, OMB Desk Officer, Room 10202, New
Executive Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20503.
The Office of Management and Budget is particularly interested in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Financial Status Report.
OMB Number: None.
Type of Review: New Collection.
Description: USAID for Eastern Europe and Newly Independent States
(ENI), requests a class deviation from 22 CFR 226.52 concerning the use
of standard forms 269-269A and 272/272A for financial reporting. 22 CFR
226.52(b)(1) states that ``when additional information is needed to
comply with legislative requirements, USAID shall issue instructions to
require recipients to submit such information in the ``remarks''
section that is not legislatively required and, therefore seeks a class
deviation to the statute from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
in accordance with 22 CFR 2276.4. The ENI Bureau wants to require that
grant and cooperative agreement recipients working in multiple
countries submit expenditure reports by country.
Annual Reporting Burden:
Number of Respondents: 80.
Total Annual Responses: 640.
Total Annual Hours requested: 320.
Dated: August 13, 1996.
Genease E. Pettigrew,
Chief, Information Support Services Division, Office of Administrative
Services, Bureau of Management.
