Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The estimated burden has decreased primarily due to: ● Using a 5 year timeframe, the maximum period of performance for most contracts, to estimate number of active subcontracting plans requiring ISRs and SSRs in a given year, as opposed to a 15 year timeframe. ● Calculating the burden for subcontracting plans separately from ISRs (i.e. they no longer are assumed to have the same population and the hours for each are estimated individually). Using granularity in FPDS data (e.g. separating out calculations based on Commercial Plans vs Individual Plans, Individual Plans that require order-level reporting vs Individual Plans that don’t require order-level reporting.
