Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), agencies are required to publish a Notice in the Federal Register notifying the public that the agency is modifying an existing previously approved information collection for OMB review and approval and requests public review and comment on the submission. OPIC received no comments in response to the sixty (60) day notice. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional thirty (30) days for public comments to be submitted. Comments are being solicited on the need for the information; the accuracy of OPIC's burden estimate; the quality, practical utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize reporting the burden, including automated collected techniques and uses of other forms of technology. The proposed changes to OPIC-248 clarify existing questions, incorporate sector-specific development impact questions, and eliminate ineffective questions in an effort to harmonize development impact indicators with other Development Finance Institutions (``DFIs''). OPIC is a signatory to a ``Memorandum of Understanding'' with 25 partnering DFIs to harmonize developmental impact metrics where possible. The goal of this effort is to reduce the burden on clients that seek financing from multiple DFIs and to instill best practices in the collection and the reporting on OPIC's developmental impacts. In order to minimize the reporting burden on respondents, OPIC has designed OPIC-248 as an electronic form that has multiple drop-down options, in which the respondent only responds to questions that are applicable to their investment.

    The proposed changes to OPIC-248 clarify existing questions, 
incorporate sector-specific development impact questions, and eliminate 
ineffective questions in an effort to harmonize development impact 
indicators with other Development Finance Institutions (``DFIs''). OPIC 
is a signatory to a ``Memorandum of Understanding'' with 25 partnering 
DFIs to harmonize developmental impact metrics where possible. The goal 
of this effort is to reduce the burden on clients that seek financing 
from multiple DFIs and to instill best practices in the collection and 
the reporting on OPIC's developmental impacts. In order to minimize the 
reporting burden on respondents, OPIC has designed OPIC-248 as an 
electronic form that has multiple drop-down options, in which the 
respondent only responds to questions that are applicable to their 
investment.

DATES: Comments must be received within thirty (30) calendar days of 
publication of this Notice.

ADDRESSES: Mail all comments and requests for copies of the subject 
form to OPIC's Agency Submitting Officer: James Bobbitt, Overseas 
Private Investment Corporation, 1100 New York Avenue NW., Washington, 
DC 20527. See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for other information about
