Short Statement: The numbers provided in the 2013 federal notice for the number of respondents and burden hours were estimates (13,866 respondents and 27,732 burden hours). OCFO had not chosen a contractor yet and the Supplier Credit Recovery Audit Program was not implemented. The number of respondents for the 2016 federal notice was provided by our contractor and is an actual number, rather than an estimate (12,299 respondents and 24,598 burden hours), which accounts for the decrease of respondents from three years ago. A decrease of 1,567 respondents and 3,134 burden hours.
