Short Statement:
The burden associated with the information collection approved under OMB Control Number 9000-0091 for FAR clause 52.203-7 is being consolidated with the other FAR part 3 information collection requirements under this OMB Control Number 9000-0018. The methods for estimating public burden associated with each information collection have been adjusted. This consolidation is expected to improve industry’s ability to easily and efficiently identify burdens associated with a given FAR part. The review of the information collections by FAR part allows improved oversight to ensure there is no redundant or unaccounted for burden placed on industry. Lastly, combining information collections in a given FAR part is also expected to reduce the administrative burden associated with processing multiple information collections.
