Short Statement: The number of SF123/123-As processed in this program is driven by the amount of property made available for donation by Federal agencies and the demand for donations experienced by the SASPs. The amount of surplus property Federal agencies make available for transfer to the States fluctuates from year to year, and the demand for such property by the States for their donation customers also fluctuates from year to year. While the number of respondents and number of burden hours has decreased over the past three years, the average salary has increased, leading to a slightly higher calculated Total Government Cost ($36,740.36). GSA could not determine how the salaries were calculated three years ago, so the current figure is an average based on existing salary wages in relevant locality pay regions.
