DFARS Part 216 and the clauses at
252.216-7001, and 252.216-7003 require contractors to submit
information to the contracting officers which is used in adjusting
established contract prices.
The estimated change in burden
is based on a decrease in projected hours, which is attributed to a
decline in the number of fixed-price contracts being awarded with a
DFAR part 216 economic price adjustment clause. While declines in
the numbers of contracts awarded by military services and ODAs were
largely offset by the increase in the number of USTRANSCOM
contracts, the overall decline in the number of contract awards is
associated with and attributed to the drawdown in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
