This extension includes adjustments to the public and Government burden estimates based on the following:
⢠The estimated cost per hour is based on use of the calendar year 2025 OPM GS wage rates for the rest of the United States.
⢠There are no known sources of data related to this information collection. Previous extensions of the collection used data for FY 2015 from a manual data pull which required a significant administrative burden from the Department of Defense components to obtain. For this extension, a reasonable estimate of the number of respondents and responses was obtained based on FPDS data for fiscal years 2021 through 2024.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
