Short Statement: There is no program change associated with this renewal; however the following adjustments have been made: DFARS 252.237-7000 - The increase of burden hours and cost is due the use of data available in the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) for fiscal year (FY) 2015 and Office of Personnel Management (OPM) General Schedule (GS) hourly rates for 2016. DFARS 252.237-7011 - The decrease of burden hours and cost is due to the use of FPDS data for FY 2015 instead of the Defense Casualty Analysis System (DCAS) database and the OPM GS hourly rates for 2016. DFARS 252.237-7024/252.237-7023 - The decrease of burden hours and cost is due to the use of data available in the Electronic Data Access system, rather than FPDS, and the OPM GS hourly rates for 2016.
