0412-AA61 201010 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 0412 Agency for International Development AID Privacy Act of 1974; Implementation of Exemptions The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is concurrently establishing a new systems of records pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), entitled the “Partner Vetting System” (PVS). The PVS will support the vetting of individuals, officers, or other officials of non-governmental organizations who apply for USAID contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or other funding, or who apply for registration with USAID as Private and Voluntary Organizations (PVOs), ensuring that neither USAID funds nor USAID-funded activities inadvertently or otherwise provide support to entities or individuals associated with terrorism. In this proposed rulemaking, USAID proposes to exempt portions of this system of records from one or more provisions of the Privacy Act because of criminal, civil, and administrative enforcement requirements.
