Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The number of respondents changed because it is based on a three-year average of the total number of unique awardees of all contracts over $1,000,000 in a fiscal year. This number varies based on DoD budget and requirements. The total hours and total cost to the public also increased because they are based on the number of respondents. The cost per hour for contractor responses increased from $32 to $38 per hour because OPM increased the GS hourly wage for a GS-9, step 5 employee since 2017.
