The information collection request contains a pilot study and a main study. We approve the pilot portion of this study at this time. At the completion of the pilot study, the agency must submit to the OMB desk officer a memo describing the results of the pilot (for example, evaluating cost, incentive use, item nonresponse by groups of interest) and how these results inform any proposed changes in the main study. If changes relating to the purpose, use, burden or overall design are recommended, the agency must discuss these issues with the OMB desk officer. If the changes do not substantially alter the purpose, use, burden or overall design of the study, we would expect to receive a request for non-substantive change detailing those changes, along with the updates supporting statements and study materials. The agency will not collect information for the main study component of this request until it has received explicit approval to do so from the OMB desk officer.
