Short Statement: There has been a change in burden estimates since the last time this collection was reviewed in October 2014. The number of respondents, responses per respondent, and number of responses changed because of improved data availability since the FY14 estimate. The cost per hour for contractor responses increased from $31.07 to $37 per hour because OPM increased the GS hourly wage for a GS-9, step 5 employee since 2014, and the 2017 hourly rate calculation now includes locality pay in an effort to more effectively project estimated costs.
