Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The decrease of responses from 149,980 to 148,094 and the associated decrease in estimated burden hours from 9,759,820 to 9,160,160 is an adjustment due to an increase in the threshold for submitting certified cost or pricing data from $750,000 to $2 million resulting from the statutory changes to the Truth in Negotiations Act, 10 U.S.C. 2306a and 41 U.S.C. 3502. Raising this threshold results in fewer offerors/contractors being required to submit certified cost or pricing data. In most cases the offerors/contractors will still be required to submit information other than certified cost or pricing data, but that will require less hours per response.
