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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The reason for the change in burden is due to the increase in anticipated responses resulting from the passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). As a result of IIJA, there is an anticipated increase in the construction projects that will be subject to the Davis-Bacon Act. As a result, that will increase the number of respondents that need to complete the Semi-Annual Enforcement Report form. Some respondents might be required to submit more than one response depending on the number of contracts that they are awarded.
