SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq.), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is 
not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it 
displays a valid OMB control number. The ICR documentation is available 
at http://www.reginfo.gov. Therefore, in preparation for OMB review and 
approval of the following information collection, TSA is soliciting 
comments to--
    (1) Evaluate whether the proposed information requirement is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden;
    (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including using appropriate automated, electronic, 
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms 
of information technology.

Information Collection Requirement

    OMB Control Number 1652-0044; Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 
Traveler Redress Inquiry Program (DHS TRIP). DHS TRIP was developed as 
a voluntary program by DHS to provide a one-stop mechanism for 
individuals to request redress who believe they have been: (1) Denied 
or delayed boarding; (2) denied or delayed entry into or departure from 
the United States at a port of entry; or (3) identified for additional 
(secondary) screening at our Nation's transportation facilities, 
including airports, seaports, train

stations and land borders. The DHS TRIP office is managed by TSA on 
behalf of DHS. In order for individuals to request redress, they are 
asked to provide identifying information as well as details of their 
travel experience.
    The Traveler Inquiry Form (TIF) is an online form that is used to 
collect requests for redress by the DHS TRIP office, which serves as a 
centralized intake office for traveler requests to have their personal 
information reviewed. DHS TRIP then passes the information to the 
relevant DHS component to process the request, as appropriate (e.g., 
DHS TRIP passes the form to the appropriate DHS office to initiate the 
Watch List Clearance Procedure). This collection serves to distinguish 
misidentified individuals from an actual individual on any watch list 
used by DHS, and this program helps streamline and expedite future 
check-in or border crossing experiences.
    DHS estimates completing the form, and gathering and submitting the 
information will take approximately one hour. The annual respondent 
population was derived from data compiled across all participating 
components (Transportation Security Administration (TSA), U.S. Customs 
and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services 
(CIS), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Visitor and 
Immigration Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT), DHS Office of Civil 
Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL), DHS Privacy Office, along with the 
U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs (DoS)). Thus, the 
total estimated annual number of burden hours for passengers seeking 
redress, based on an estimated 32,495 annual respondents, is 32,495 
hours (32,495 x 1).
