Abstract of proposed collection: The
Secretary of State is authorized to issue
U.S. passports under 22 U.S.C. 211a.
The Department of State, Passport
Services administers the U.S. passport
issuance program and operates passport
agencies and application adjudication
centers throughout the United States. As
part of the Intelligence Reform and
Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, the
Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative
required the Secretary of Homeland
Security and the Secretary of State to
implement a plan to require all U.S.
citizen and non-citizen nationals to
present a passport and/or other
sufficient documentation when entering
the United States. This resulted in an
increase in demand for U.S. passports.
The Passport Demand Forecasting
Survey requests information from the
general public about the demand for
U.S. passports, anticipated travel, and
the demographic profile of the
respondent. This voluntary survey is
conducted on a monthly basis using
responses from a randomly selected but
nationally representative sample of U.S.
nationals ages 18 and older. The
information obtained from the survey is
used to monitor and project the demand
for U.S. passport books and U.S.
passport cards. The Passport Demand
Forecasting Survey aids the Department
of State, Passport Services in making
decisions about staffing, resource
allocation, and budget planning.
The Department of State published a
60-day notice in the Federal Register to
solicit public comments on January 19,

2017 (82 FR 6684). One comment was
received that was not substantive.
Methodology: The Passport Demand
Forecasting Study uses monthly surveys
that will gather data from a national
representative sample of U.S. nationals.
Survey delivery methodologies can
include mail, internet/web, telephone,
and mix-mode surveys to ensure the
CA/PPT reaches the appropriate
audience and leverages the best research
method to obtain valid responses. The
survey data will cover an estimated
48,000 respondents annually.

Deputy Assistant Secretary, for Passport
Services, Department of State.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD
Indexing the Annual Operating
Revenues of Railroads
The Surface Transportation Board
(STB) is publishing the annual inflationadjusted index factors for 2016. These
factors are used by the railroads to
adjust their gross annual operating
revenues for classification purposes.
This indexing methodology ensures that
railroads are classified based on real
business expansion and not on the
effects of inflation. Classification is
important because it determines the
extent to which individual railroads
must comply with STB reporting
requirements.
The STB’s annual inflation-adjusted
factors are based on the annual average
Railroad Freight Price Index developed
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The
STB’s deflator factor is used to deflate
revenues for comparison with
established revenue thresholds.
The base year for railroads is 1991.
The inflation index factors are presented
as follows:
