Short Statement: The change in results from using fiscal year 2016 data from the EDA system, which reflects the actual number of contracts that include the two clauses in lieu of using more generalized information from the Federal Procurement Data System. Information for the DFARS 239.7408 requirement was obtained from the Government subject matter experts within the agency that has responsibility for telecommunications and reflects reductions in numbers of respondents and hours. This reduction accommodates the fact that, given the current state of technology, common carriers do not typically require new (special) construction in response to Government telecommunication requirements.
