Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: Since the form is on line, there is no cost to order forms. The reduction of burden hours is due to electronic initiatives like the System for Award Management (SAM) which allows for one-time, government-wide enrollment for procurement and finance. Among other required data, SAM collects bank account information that is needed to generate electronic payments. This database minimizes the need to collect payment data from registered vendors using the SF 3881 and significantly reduces the burden of collecting banking data on an SF 3881.
