Information requested of contractors
is specific to each contract and is required for Treasury to
properly evaluate the progress made and/or management controls used
by contractors providing supplies or services to the Government,
and to determine contractors' compliance with the contracts, in
order to protect the Government's interest.
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
