SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: TSA published a Federal Register notice, 
with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments, of the following 
collection of information on June 4, 2021, 86 FR 30064.

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 will be 
available at http://www.reginfo.gov upon its submission to OMB. 
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.

Information Collection Requirement

    Title: DHS TRIP.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    OMB Control Number: 1652-0044.
    Forms(s): Traveler Inquiry and Survey Forms.
    Affected Public: Traveling Public.
    Abstract: DHS TRIP is a single point of contact for individuals who 
have inquiries or seek resolution regarding difficulties they have 
experienced during their travel screening. The TSA manages the DHS TRIP 
office on behalf of DHS. The collection of information includes: (1) A 
Traveler Inquiry Form (TIF), which includes the individual's 
identifying and travel experience information; and (2) two optional, 
anonymous customer satisfaction surveys to allow the public to provide 
DHS feedback on its experience using DHS TRIP.
    TSA is revising the information collection by aligning the TIF 
question set to match naming standards set forth by the US Department 
of State (DoS). Making these changes will ensure consistency with how 
other federal agencies input names and identification data elements 
into their systems. TSA always queries TECS and the Secure Flight User 
Interface that use DoS naming standards; this change will enable easier 
review and assessment of applications. TIF users will continue to 
provide their full name, date of birth, and other data elements; 
however, they will now match the naming standards of DoS as shown on 
their passports or other travel documents. For example, for Name, TSA 
is changing the question from ``First Name, Middle Name, Last Name'' to 
``Given Name and Surname.'' For Place of Birth, TSA is changing the 
``Place of Birth (City or Town)'' to ``Place of Birth (Country 
(mandatory) City or Town (optional)).'' This will enable easier review 
and assessment of applications. In addition, TSA is revising the TIF to 
include additional travel experience scenario options, involving 
Electronic Visa Update System and Global Entry; and two additional 
identity documentation options, Electronic System for Travel 
Authorization application and the Student Exchange Visitor Information 
System ID number. Finally, TSA has made non-substantial changes to the 
form, updating TSA's current address. TSA will provide a table of 
changes for the TIF form.
    Number of Respondents: 15,000.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An estimated 15,500 hours annually.
    Estimated Cost Burden: An estimated $14,490 annually.

    Dated: September 23, 2021.
