Short Statement: Since 2022, the number of contracts increased from 36 to 67; and the average number of invoices per TO responses increased from 710 to 717. The number of annual burden hours decreased from 1046 to 717. However, there is a dramatic decrease in invoices per TO for non-license fee related and a small change in the invoices per TO for license fee related contracts. The substantial change in responses is the result of a decrease in responses due to an observed decrease in the average number of invoices per TO for non-license fee related items.
