On May 6, 2009, the Federal Register published another announcement extending the effective date of USAID's Partner Vetting System (PVS). It is expected that USAID plans to extend the effective date by 90 days, which will move it to August 4, 2009. The effective date of the rule would have been May 4 had the extension not been implemented.  USAID is still without an Adminstrator.
