Program Change Increase: In
Fiscal Year 2011 MBDA developed and implemented a new Customer
Relationship Management (CRM)/Performance Database to reflect the
requirements of the redesigned MBDA Business Center program. The
streamlining of certain administrative and reporting requirements
for the new program are reflected in the system, and resulted in a
decrease in the overall estimate of burden hours for users under
the new program structure. Adjustment Decrease: Decrease in number
of respondents from previous submission, and relative burden
hours.
