Abstract of Proposed Collection
Section 7209 of the Intelligence
Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act
(IRTPA), enacted on December 17, 2004,
requires the Secretary of the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS), in
consultation with the Secretary of State,
to develop expeditiously, and
implement a plan to require U.S.
citizens and certain other categories of
individuals to present a passport or
sufficient documentation of the identity
and citizenship when entering the U.S.
This law has had significant effect on
travel to Canada, Mexico, and the
Caribbean.
CA/PPT has urgent and pressing data
requirements and needs to obtain and
regular statistical data on issues that
focus on, and are related to, travel and
passport applications that can be used
to monitor, assess, and forecast passport
demand on a continuous basis for the
U.S. population including critical
population segments near the Canadian
and Mexican borders. In support of
these efforts, CA/PPT plans to conduct
monthly and incremental forecasts of
passport demand nationally. This
gathering of data will provide the
opportunity to refine volume and timing
estimates on demand, and will gauge
public reaction to economic and sociodemographic changes.

Methodology
CA/PPT will conduct monthly panel
studies that will be conducted using
multiple methodologies. Methodologies
can include telephone, Web/Internet,
mail, and mixed mode surveys to ensure
the survey reaches the appropriate
audience and leverages the best research
method to obtain responses given the
survey topic and panel member
preference. The panel data will cover an
estimated 48,000 respondents and
include variables covering passport,
travel, and socio-demographic variables
of interest to CA/PPT.
