Short Statement: The estimates are revised to accommodate the inclusion of the burden previously accounted for under OMB Control Number 0704-0541 that is being rolled into this OMB Control Number 0704-0441, effective with this 2019 renewal cycle. The greatest degree of change in burden hours for the renewal period is for recordkeepers and recordkeeping required under DFARS clause 252.246-7008. For the initial burden cleared for 0704-0541 in 2016, the basis for the estimates was the Federal Procurement Data system information. The DFARS clause became effective August 2, 2016, and since that time usage data has become available in the Electronic Data System and can be mined to determine the number of new contract awards and unique vendors for a given period that contain the clause.
