The estimated burden hours and associated costs have changed due to updated projections based on more recent programmatic experience and expected processing efficiencies due to technology improvements, as well as adjustments to anticipated annual application volumes and the average reporting time per application. The answer provided to A.12 provides more information regarding this burden increase. The Department reported during the last renewal cycle that it would receive 113,304 applications per year in connection with the PERM program and that DHS would receive 1,300 Form ETA-9089 applications in lieu of the Form ETA-750B for its NIW application process, and 4,620 for Schedule A and Sheepherder applications combined. The Department now estimates that applications will increase to 125,476.6 on average per year. For purposes of a similar comparison to the last cycle, Form ETA-9089 applications are projected to remain relatively flat at 108,832. The remaining difference in application volume, and therefore burden, corresponds to an increase in applications to DHS for Schedule A and Sheepherders from 4,620 to 7,000, and adjustments being made to incorporate additional Form ETA-9089 applications that will be filed as a result of the planned discontinuance of Forms ETA-750A and ETA-750B (OMB Control Number 1205-0015), which will result in 86.6 additional Form ETA-9089 applications completed for professional athletes and coaches, and 9,558 additional Form ETA-9089 applications for NIW qualifications. The edits to the form and instructions do not cause the burden increase reported by DOL. The new projections are made based on past filings, current filing trends, and the general improvement of the Department’s methodology for arriving at these estimates.
