Short Statement:
Currently, OMB Control number 2900-0590 contains three VAAR clauses, 852.207-70, 852.237-70, and 852.228-71. The removal of VAAR clause 852.207-70 from this OMB control number will remove 15 estimated annual burden hours and an annual cost savings to respondents of $428.85 that are currently reflected in OIRA/OMB information collection inventory. However, due to the fact that this OMB control number contains two additional VAAR clauses, as well as the increase of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) hourly rate in May 2020, the net decrease of public burden cost for this OMB control number is $268.85.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$41,230
