The charts above illustrate the number of complete applications fi led per year and the percentage of bilateral requests received in 2025 per foreign country. As of December 31, 2025, APMA had also received 31 user fee fi lings that were not yet accompanied by a substantially complete APA application, in addition to the 178 complete APA applications.
2 The fi rst APA Statutory Report, which compiled APA data from 1991-1999, did not report the cumulative number of applications for those years by submission type, so the cumulative totals cannot be reported in that manner.

5 The fi rst APA Statutory Report, which compiled APA data from 1991-1999, and the second APA Statutory Report, which compiled APA data for 2000, did not report the cumulative number of applications for those years by submission type, so the cumulative totals cannot be reported in that manner.
