Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The increase in burden hours is due to an increase in contracts from 743 to 783 and the addition of 2 new reporting sections in the technical specifications. We estimate a 20% increase in burden hours to account for 2 new reporting sections, from 8 to 10, for contracts to complete (187,979 *.2 = 37,596; 37,596 + 187,979 = 225,575). This results in a net increase of 37,596 burden hours (225,575 – 187,979) and cost increase of $5,558,185 (24,032 – 18,875,576).
