It is determined that an upward adjustment is warranted at this time based upon consideration of the information provided in the public comment. The respondent stated the estimate of 120 responses per respondent is understated, and proposed that the number of responses for many respondents, particularly large government contractors, exceeds 1,000 responses per year. No adjustments were made to the number of respondents based on this comment, as it is believed the 120 responses per respondent is a valid estimate as an average for all respondents. Additionally, the respondent stated that the estimate of .025 hours of burden per response is unrealistically low given the level of documentation required to support requests for payment, especially on certain contracts, and proposed that contractors will expend an amount of effort more than 100 times the estimate of .025 hours. Based on consideration of this information, the estimated burden per response is increased to .25 hours, ten times the estimate of .025 hours per response. We believe an average of 15 minutes per responses is a valid, especially given the technological advances in gathering and submission of the information under this collection. The information collection requirement has been revised to reflect an overall increase in the total public burden hours.
