The agency is reminded that burden changes stemming from previous changes to a collection or new estimates from usability testing should be considered estimate changes. The Information Collection Budget will not consider these burden estimate changes as burden reduction. In the future, the agency should submit non-substantive change requests for only burden estimates changes that are not driven by form or collection changes.
