Short Statement: The Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) provides a comprehensive web-based tool for agencies to report contract actions. Among these contract actions are modifications executed to reflect the size status rerepresentations required by FAR clause 52.219-28. With FPDS, the Government is able to obtain a more accurate number of rerepresentations that are done in a given year. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2017, FPDS shows 2,156 rerepresentation modifications were executed. The FY 2017 FPDS data is used to estimate the approximate number of responses for this collection: 2,200. This is an increase from the 1,700 responses that was estimated for the current collection. The number of hours per response remains unchanged. Based on the updated number of responses, this information collection will result in a total of 1,100 hours, an increase of 250 hours from the annual reporting burden published in the Federal Register at 80 FR 25293, on May 4, 2015 (850 hours). The average cost per hour has increased from $31 to $37 due to an increase in the hourly rate for a GS-9, Step 5, and an increase in the overhead rate. A 36.25% rate is used in lieu of 33% based on the rate from the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-76, Attachment C.
