The estimated burden hours and associated costs have changed due to updated projections based on more recent programmatic experience, including adjustments to anticipated annual application volumes and the average reporting time per application. The Department reported during the last renewal cycle that it would receive 67,900 applications per year in connection with the PERM program; that DHS would receive 1,300 Form ETA-9089s in lieu of the Form ETA-750 for its NIW application process, and 4,200 for Schedule A and Sheepherder applications combined. The Department now estimates an increase in applications for the upcoming FY2018-FY2020 years. It is estimated that approximately 113,304 PERM applications will be submitted, in average, annually (107,254 submitted to ETA, 1,430 submitted to DHS via the NIW application process, and 4,620 submitted to DHS for Schedule A and Sheepherder applications). The edits to the form and instructions do not cause the burden increase reported by OFLC. The new projections are made based on past filings, current filing trends and the general improvement of OFLC’s methodology for arriving at these estimates.
