This request concerns information collection requirements related to material inspection and acceptance, shipping, and payment. The information is used to process inspection and receipt of materials and payments to contractors.
It is believed that the burden per response is actually decreased by the use of the WAWF electronic system. However, the burden has seen an increase largely believed to be caused by the wider use of WAWF and improvements such as pre-population of most receiving report data elements.
These current numbers also represent a more accurate picture of the use of this system while prior estimates were based on the expertise of DCMA technical specialists.
