The DOL has released some information regarding PERM processing, the most interesting of which is that the agency is currently processing audited cases with a filing date of July 2007. The rate of approval for PERM cases filed so far in 2008 is around 79%.
The new form ETA 9089 (PERM Form) that was supposed to be used effective January 1, 2009, is not expected to be released until Spring 2009.

Finally, on November 7, 2008, there will be a planned system outage for the PERM on-line system, so applications may not be filed electronically that day between 7 AM and 5 PM EST.
