Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The information collection requirement in the FAR remains unchanged. A reassessment of FAR 3.103 and FAR 52.203-2 was performed. Based on the comprehensive reassessment performed, this information collection resulted in a slight decrease in the annual number of responses and an increase in the annual time burden from the previous information collection that was published in the Federal Register at 76 FR 37353 on June 27, 2011. The decrease in the annual number of responses is likely a result of updated data for fiscal year 13 from the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS). The increase in the annual time burden from the previous information collection increases the amount of time to research and prepare the certification from .01 hours (less than one minute) to .25 hours (15 minutes). No public comments were received in prior years that have challenged the validity of the Government's estimate. Updates were made to the average wages and overhead based on Fiscal Year 2013 Office of Personnel Management and Office of Management and Budget rates.
