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

Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to: Cutting Redundancy

Short Statement: The decrease of responses from 21,410 to 1,527 and the associated decrease in estimated burden hours from 3,575 to 763.5 is an adjustment based on the following: ● Changing the burden estimate methodology to be more consistent with the prescription language in the FAR (e.g., no threshold is prescribed, clauses not used in construction and A&E contracts). ● Recognizing that the clauses 52.211-8 and 52.211-9 are not used in commercial acquisitions. ● Considering subject matter experts’ opinion that only 10% of contracts likely to include the clauses 52.211-8 and 52.211-9 would in fact result in offerors proposing an alternative delivery schedule. The burden under these clauses occurs only if offerors propose an alternative delivery schedule. ● Recognizing that proposing an alternative delivery schedule takes longer than reviewing such submittal. Accordingly, the public estimated time per response was increased from 10 to 30 minutes.
