Short Statement: Vacation Benefit Seniority List: Due to a decrease in the total number of contracts subject to the SCA from 123,223 to 73,475, the number of contracts that submit a vacation lists has also decreased from 82,149 to 48,984. The annual burden hours have decreased from 82,149 to 48,984, reflecting an overall decrease in annual Federal costs from $230,014 to $148,299. Conformance Record: No change occurred. Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs): The number of CBAs received by contracting officers annually has increased from 1,505 to 1,628. The annual burden hour estimate has also increased from 125 hours to 136 hours. Despite the increase in the overall number of CBAs and annual burden hours, the estimated Federal cost has decreased from $7,251 to $5,767 due to a decrease in the number of manually issued CBAs that must be mailed to the DOL by the contracting agency. Because of the creation of the WDOL system, the majority of the CBAs (1,231 out of 1,628) that are issued are done by the contracting agencies themselves through the use of the WDOL system. The remaining CBAs (397) are mailed manually to the DOL for issuance of a WD.
