Short Statement: 15. Demand forecast projections, by their nature, will have some uncertainty in their accuracy, which can explain differences between actual and forecast. However, the decrease from the previous burden estimates (556,075 respondents to 465,848 and $1,390,188 in cost burden to respondents to $1,164,620) may be attributed to splitting the one form into two. The DS-5525, Statement of Exigent/Special Family Circumstances for Issuance of a U.S. Passport to a Minor under Age 16, was introduced in the last three year cycle and the Department is still adjusting its impact on forecasts and workload.
