    Abstract of proposed collection: The Assistance Coordination (AC) 
Office, established in June 2014, coordinates United States government 
foreign assistance in the Middle East and North Africa region for the 
Department of State, and manages the implementation of all the 
assistance functions within the Department of State's Bureau of Near 
Eastern Affairs. In fiscal year 2017, the AC office expects to obligate 
over $142 million to support economic development, good governance, 
education, democracy programs, and human rights reform in 20 countries 
of the Middle East and North Africa. As a normal course of business and 
in compliance with OMB Guidelines contained in 2 CFR 200, recipient 
organizations are required to provide, and the U.S. Department of State 
is required to collect, periodic program and financial performance 
reports. The responsibility of the Department to track and monitor the 
programmatic and financial performance necessitates a database that can 
help facilitate this in a consistent and standardized manner. The NEA/
AC Performance Reporting System (ACPRS) enables enhanced monitoring and 
evaluation of grants

[[Page 23126]]

through standardized collection and storage of relevant award elements, 
such as quarterly progress reports, workplans, results monitoring 
plans, grant agreements, and other business information related to AC 
implementers. The ACPRS streamlines communication with implementers and 
allows for rapid identification of information gaps for specific 
projects.
    Methodology: Information will be electronically entered into ACPRS 
by respondents.

Grants Manager, NEA/AC, U.S. Department of State.
