The program change reflects a decrease in respondents’ use of this form from 61,000 in 2015 to 50,600 (annual average projected for FY 18 – 20). This decrease may be attributed in part to the greater availability of public records online which the Department may search and use to corroborate an applicant’s identity, reducing the need for an identifying witness to complete a DS-0071.
