<p><span id="docs-internal-guid-eb19c8e6-7fff-accf-5c93-d6bd2f24e2d1">&nbsp;This rule revises Appendix D of the AID Acquisition Regulation (AIDAR Appendix D) in order to revise and expand fringe benefits for personal services contracts with individuals who are U.S. nationals (USPSCs). Specifically, this rule will: 1) provide a relocation expense benefit similar to the benefit provided to USAID&rsquo;s U.S. direct-hire employees, normally Foreign Service Officers; and 2) provide a paid parental leave benefit comparable to what is available to USAID&rsquo;s U.S. direct-hire employees. </span></p>
