Firms participating in certain
negotiated Federal contracts and subcontracts over certain specific
thresholds must allow the government access to books, documents,
papers or other records and facilities involving these contracts.
Such recordkeeping is necessary to assure the Federal funds are
properly accounted for and that cost or pricing data are accurate,
complete and current.
The number of total annual
responses has increased from 14,830 to 20,646, based on the data
from FPDS-NG. Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 data led to 14,830, and FY 2016
data has led to 20,646. The number of estimated responses per
respondent has decreased from 10 to 9. However, the estimated hours
per response of 60 minutes, has remained the same. These
adjustments reflect an overall increase in the information
collection.
