Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This clearance combines OMB clearances 9000-0094, 9000-0174, and 9000-0190. There is a net increase of 55,560 burden hours under this new information collection requirement. These changes are all due to adjustment of estimates, not program change. In some cases there were less respondents, due to current FY 2015 FPDS data. However, there were more respondents, when based on active registrants in SAM. The respondents and burden hours for 52.209-5 and -6 were broken out and separately estimated for better accuracy. Some of the response times were adjusted based upon analysis of the complexity required for the response.
