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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The overall burden decreased by 119 hours from 1,087 to 968 hours because the number of cleared facilities has decreased. Approximately six cleared contractor facilities were terminated because their services were no longer required by the licensees who sponsored them for a facility clearance. The reporting burden increased slightly by 9 hours from 805 to 816 hours, and the recordkeeping burden increased slightly from 149 to 152 hours. The reporting burden had a slight increase in the responses for facility clearance terminations and changes in security practices and procedures. The record keeping burden increased slightly in the area of key and lock accountability records because two licensee contractors' added key and lock programs to their standard practice procedures plans. The hourly fee rates increased from $257/hr. to $274/hr. for professional effort in this clearance.
