Points to Consider:

What is the impact (of the proposed modification) on Stakeholders ?

What is the current status of the methods (First Action, Final Action, how long?)
•
Should a new method number be considered?

What type of modification is being proposed? For example, does the modification:

Etc.
•
Is the quality of science maintained?
