Short Statement: Both the government and awardees are affected by the reporting requirement. These estimates represent joint costs shared by both the government and awardees. There are no fees associated with submitting a report, but there is an approximate estimate of 1 hr level of effort by both the government and awardee. These estimated costs are a significant reduction from the last notice in 2014. The main reason is the number of reports submitted and accepted has significantly declined. There is no evidence this is the result of awardees uncompliant with regulation.
