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

Short Statement:
Since the last information collection approval, active citizen responder organizations remained at 4,000. The time to complete the form has decreased from 0.5 hour to 0.25 hour for a total reduction of 1,000 burden hours. The decrease in annual cost burden results from the decrease in hourly burden of 1,000 hours but is slightly offset by increased wage rates.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$13,205
