The application form and other information collection instruments are to be used by employers seeking to use non-immigrants (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3) in specialty occupations and as fashion models or by those who want to report violations and will permit the Department to meet its statutory responsibilities for program administration, management, and oversight.

The Department projects that the annual burden for LCA information collections will decrease from 898,212 burden hours to 834,305 burden hours. The Department makes this projection based on recent filings of H-1B, H-1B1, and E-3 requests received since the implementation of the current form. (See the response to A12 for details.) The number of LCA responses decreased from 569,260 to 543,085, which may be partly attributable to improvements to the LCA form to collect more worksite locations on a single form. As a result of the decrease in the estimated number of burden hours from 898,212 to 834,305, there is likewise a resulting decrease in the estimated total respondent costs from $74,353,989 to $70,824,150. The Department has made a couple non-substantive changes to the Form ETA-9035/9035E Public Burden Statement. The room number for the Department’s mailing address has been changed and the Public Burden Statement has been moved from the form to the form instructions.
