Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Three‑Year Extension of Data Collection
If you submit extraordinary contractual action requests to the DoD, GSA, or NASA, the agencies propose that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) extend approval of the information collection for three additional years beyond the current expiration of August 31, 2025. That means the current information‑collection requirement would remain authorized for an additional three years past August 31, 2025.
Public Comment Chance to Reduce Burden
DoD, GSA, and NASA are asking the public to comment on whether the information collection is necessary, whether the burden estimate is accurate, and on ways to improve clarity, utility, and to minimize respondent burden — including using automated collection techniques. Anyone affected by the collection can submit comments on those topics during the Paperwork Reduction Act notice process.
