Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The estimated annual time burden (in hours) increased with this information collection due to the increase in the estimated respondent count. It is noteworthy for U.S. employers and employees that USCIS did reduce the time to complete the Form I-9 by removing questions that no longer provided practical utility, but this reduction was more than offset by the increase in the estimated respondent count. However, due to the estimation methodology used to describe burden in this analysis, the time burden savings is otherwise not easily recognized. The offsetting increase in the estimated number of respondents, which reflects increased annual hires in the United States, overshadows the time burden savings.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $19,059,720
