Burden Reduction Due to: Cutting Redundancy

Short Statement: This extension includes updates to the burden as follows: • Adjustments made by using FPDS data for fiscal years 2017 through 2021 where the contract uses equipment or property furnished by the government. • Removal of the references made in the previous extension (2019) to the SF 1423, Inventory Verification Survey, and the SF 1424, Inventory Disposal Report. The FAR does not require contractors to use the SF 1423 and the SF 1424, both forms are used by the Government (plant clearance officers). • The estimated cost to the public and to the Government was updated based on use of calendar year 2022 OPM GS wage rates for the rest of the United States.
