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

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The increase of responses from 215 to 362 and the associated increase in estimated burden hours from 4,730 to 7,964 hours is an adjustment due to the assumptions made for the estimate. The previously used FPDS data was limited to a number of Product and Service Code (PSC) construction codes. However, the rationale to use such a limited number of PSC construction codes was not clear. We have adjusted the estimate based on a baseline of new fixed-price construction contracts valued over $5 million. We also recognized that there are no recordkeeping requirements imposed by the FAR, they are under the OSHA related OMB Control Nos.
