     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the

     Minimize the reporting burden on those who are to respond,

    Abstract of proposed collection: The information collected on the 
DS-5504 is used to facilitate the re-issuance of passports to U.S. 
citizens and nationals when (a) the passport holder's name has changed 
within the first year of the issuance of the passport; (b) the passport 
holder needs correction of descriptive information on the data page of 
the passport; or (c) the passport holder wishes to obtain a fully valid 
passport after obtaining a full-fee passport with a limited validity of 
two years or less. The primary purpose of soliciting the information is 
to establish citizenship, identity, and entitlement of the applicant to 
the U.S. passport or related service, and to properly administer and 
enforce the laws pertaining to the issuance thereof.
    Methodology: Passport Services collects information from U.S. 
citizens and non-citizen nationals when they complete and submit the 
Application for a U.S. Passport: Name Change, Data Correction, and 
Limited Passport Book Replacement. Passport applicants can either 
download the DS-5504 from the internet or obtain one from an Acceptance 
Facility/Passport Agency. The form must be completed, signed, and 
submitted along with the applicant's valid U.S. passport and supporting 
documents for corrective action.
