administer the training on an annual

developing and design of training are: 

Number of Respondents: 16,000. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Total Annual Responses: 16,000. 

Average Burden Hours per Response: 

4 (80 hours/20 yrs). 

Total Burden Hours: 64,000.

Compliance systems—Reduced 

expenditures should occur after the 

initial investment. The average dollar 

investment and the number of hours 

invested to set-up and monitor a 

compliance system will vary per vendor 

based on offerings, basis of award, 

participation in government or 

commercial marketplace, and the 

company’s business structure. As a 

result, compliance system burden hours 

are broken down to address the diverse 

MAS vendor base. We estimate 

approximately 20% of the 16,000 MAS 

vendors have all invested more heavily 

in the federal marketplace and therefore 

may require more burden hours to set 

up and monitor PRC compliance. The 

remaining estimated 80% have fewer 

offerings and less complex business 

structures resulting in reduced burden 

hours to setup and monitor compliance. 

Additionally, compliance systems are 

used to monitor other requirements in 

addition to the PRC. Therefore, the 

average number of hours invested to set 

up and monitor the system, as well as 

the cost of the system must be 

distributed over a larger base than just 

the PRC. 

The estimated burden hours for 

vendors with heavier investments in the 

federal marketplace are as follows: 

Number of Respondents: 3,200 (20% 

of 16,000). 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Total Annual Responses: 3,200. 

Average Burden Hours per Response: 

55 hours (1100 hrs/20 yrs). 

Total Burden Hours: 176,000. 

The estimated burden hours for 

vendors with less heavy investments in 

the federal marketplace are as follows: 

Number of Respondents: 12,800 (80% 

of 16,000). 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Total Annual Responses: 12,800. 

Average Burden Hours per Response: 

30 hours (600 hrs/20 yrs). 

Total Burden Hours: 384,000. 

Negotiations—The PRC is one of 

many areas negotiated with MAS 

contractors. We attribute pricing data to 

constitute over 1⁄2 of the negotiations, 

with administrative and technical data 

comprising the remainder. Based on 

industry experience, it is estimated that 

no more than 140 hours are expended 

on PRC negotiations. Thus, the 

estimated 272 hours is reduced to 140 

hours over 20-year lifespan of the 

contract (140hrs/20) to an annual 

burden hours of 7. 

Number of Respondents: 19,000. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Total Annual Responses: 19,000. 

Average Burden Hours per Response: 

7 (140 hrs/20 yrs). 

Total Burden Hours: 133,000. 

Audits—Over the past three years 

(FY10, FY11, FY12) an average of 70 

FSS contracts were audited by the IG 

each year. The respondent estimated 

that approximately 440–470 hours were 

spent preparing for audits involving the 

PRC. Thus, GSA took the average of the 

respondent’s estimate (445) and 

multiplied it by 70, which is the 

consistent number of contracts audited 

during the last three fiscal years, to 

reach the sum of 31,150 hours expended 

preparing for audits. 

Number of Respondents: 70. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Total Annual Responses: 70. 

Average Burden Hours per Response: 

445. 

Total Burden Hours: 31,150. 

C. Annual Reporting Burden 

Number of Respondents: 19,000. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Total Annual Responses: 19,000. 

Average Burden Hours per Response: 

45.7 hours. 

Total Burden Hours: 868,150.
