View Rule

USAID is publishing this interim final rule to rescind 22 CFR 203 in support of streamlining the Private Voluntary Organization (PVO) registration process.  Foreign assistance circumstances have evolved since the establishment of the PVO registration process and a careful review of USAID’s business practices has concluded that there is no longer a need for the time-consuming and costly agency-wide process.  The two remaining USAID programs that legislatively require PVOs to be registered as a condition of eligibility have incorporated a simplified registration process into each of their programs’ applications.
