Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Adjustment from 3,414 respondents to 7,163 respondents is due to the change in the number of contracts estimated to be awarded by Treasury based on FY 2008 data. The adjustment in the estimated burden for each contract from 14 hours to 24 hours is due to revisions in estimates of per-contract burden. The increase in per-contract burden is considered to be more realistic based on analysis of types of contracts awarded and the associated post-contract reporting requirements. The adjustment in the total annual hours required from 47,796 to 171,912 is due to the increase in the number of contract awards and the increase in the estimate of per-contract burden
