60-Day Notice of Proposed Information Collection: Foreign Assistance Recordkeeping Requirements
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The U.S. Department of State is requesting public comments on a new information collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act. It stems from three final rules published January 27, 2026 that implement the President's Protecting Human Flourishing in Foreign Assistance (PHFFA) policy. Foreign NGOs, U.S. NGOs, and international organizations receiving U.S. foreign assistance must maintain segregated records to demonstrate they are not violating the terms of their grants. Records for federally funded activities must be kept separate from other funding sources and made available for inspection upon request. The policy terms must also flow down to any subrecipients.
