The annual burden for these information collections has decreased overall due to a decrease in usage of the H-1B, H-1B1, and E-3 programs during the economic downturn of the last three years. During the past three fiscal years WHD, however, has noticed an increase in the number of Forms WH-4 filed with the agency. The Department has correspondingly increased the estimates for the information collection. The Federal Government burden estimate decreased due to an adjustment in the Network Costs, i.e. the removal of one-time Application Development costs, better calculations of all other cost estimates, and the updated data on program usage.
