Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The program adjustments reflect a slight increase in the number of projected respondents from 136,833 (FYs 2016-2018) to 138,000 (FYs 2019-2021). The demand has leveled off in the last couple years after the surge in demand around 2017 and 2018. Using the actual historical application count for FY 2016-2018, the average total DS-5504 receipts amounted to 125,145 per year. Demand forecast projections, by their nature, will have some uncertainty in their accuracy, which can explain differences between actual and forecast.
