Short Statement: In this renewal request, the inclusion of a 506,000 response and 7,500 hour buffer was discontinued because estimates were obtained from activity databases rather than being based on cumulative commodity estimates. Significant estimate adjustment increases include labeling and marking, and notice of arrivals, whose estimates were previously underestimated. Significant descreases include bilateral operational workplans and cooperative service agreements whose estimates were previously overestimated.
