Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The estimated change in burden is based on a decrease in projected hours, which is attributed to a decline in the number of fixed-price contracts being awarded with a DFAR part 216 economic price adjustment clause. While declines in the numbers of contracts awarded by military services and ODAs were largely offset by the increase in the number of USTRANSCOM contracts, the overall decline in the number of contract awards is associated with and attributed to the drawdown in Iraq and Afghanistan.
