Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The annual public burden increased to include burden unaccounted for in the previous renewal. However, as a result, the total burden decreased by 1,756 hours due to a decrease in the estimated number of respondents, partially offset by an increase in the number of estimated responses per respondent. The revised number of responses per respondent accounts for the supplemental monthly information submission required by FAR 52.232-12(m) and paragraph (j) within Alternate V that was not properly accounted for in the previous information collection request.
