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

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: For greater accuracy, the Burdens associated with FAR subpart 501 and section 52.250-1 have been separately identified and evaluated. There is no program change. The estimated number of respondents has decreased from 100 to 28, but the estimated number of total responses has increased from 100 to 164, because we now estimate about 6 responses per respondent, rather than 1. The weighted average of hours per response has increased from 16 to about 41.5 hours. This results in an increase of estimated total burden hours from 1,600 hours to 6,848 hours. These adjustments are based on DoD reported data for 2015 and the advice of subject matter experts.
