adjusted downward, based on the total annual responses. The estimated 
responses used to calculate the burden is based on the availability of 
data on Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 awards from existing systems (the Federal 
Procurement Data System and the Contractor Performance Assessment 
Reporting System).
