Marko: I don’t doubt that you are accurately reporting what was in an official DCSA report or announcement. I saw the same reported number of 43,000. But sometimes DCSA makes mistakes. I can’t find anything recent but according to another DCSA report they adjudicated 396,011 T3 cases and 75,480 T5 cases for a total of 471,491 initial security clearance cases in 2021. It’s very doubtful that their workload dropped by more than 90% from 2021 when COVID slowed everything down.
