not reflect the total burden. For this
reason, the respondent provided that the
agency should reassess the estimated
total burden hours and revise the
estimate upwards to be more accurate,
as was done in FAR Case 2007–006. The
same respondent also provided that the
burden of compliance with the
information collection requirement
greatly exceeds the agency’s estimate
and outweighs any potential utility of
the extension.
Response: Serious consideration is
given, during the open comment period,
to all comments received and
adjustments are made to the paperwork
burden estimate based on reasonable
considerations provided by the public.
This is evidenced, as the respondent
notes, in FAR Case 2007–006 where an
adjustment was made from the total
preparation hours from three to 60. This
change was made considering
particularly the hours that would be
required for review within the company,
prior to release to the Government.
The burden is prepared taking into
consideration the necessary criteria in
OMB guidance for estimating the
paperwork burden put on the entity
submitting the information. For
example, consideration is given to an
entity reviewing instructions; using
technology to collect, process, and
disclose information; adjusting existing
practices to comply with requirements;
searching data sources; completing and
reviewing the response; and
transmitting or disclosing information.
The estimated burden hours for a
collection are based on an average
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
between the hours that a simple
disclosure by a very small business
might require and the much higher
numbers that might be required for a
very complex disclosure by a major
corporation. Also, the estimated burden
hours should only include projected
hours for those actions which a
company would not undertake in the
normal course of business. Careful
consideration went into assessing the
estimated burden hours for this
collection, and it is determined that an
upward adjustment is not required at
this time. However, at any point,
members of the public may submit
comments for further consideration, and
are encouraged to provide data to
support their request for an adjustment.
