Abstract of Proposed Collection The Secretary of State is authorized to issue U.S. passports under 22 U.S.C. 211a et seq, 8 U.S.C. 1104, and Executive Order 11295 (August 5, 1966). Department regulations provide that individuals whose valid or potentially valid U.S. passports were lost or stolen must report the lost or stolen passport to the Department of State before receiving a new passport so that the lost or stolen passport can be invalidated (22 CFR parts 50 and 51). The Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002 (8 U.S.C. 1737) requires the Department of State to collect accurate information on lost or stolen U.S. passports and to enter that information into a data system. Form DS–64 collects information identifying the person who held the valid lost or stolen passport and provides details regarding the circumstances under which the passport was lost or stolen. As required by the cited authorities, we use the information collected to accurately identify the passport that must be invalidated and to make a record of the circumstances surrounding the lost or stolen passport. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:11 Oct 04, 2024 Jkt 262001 Methodology Passport bearers may submit the form on the Department of State’s website, travel.state.gov, where it can be completed, signed, and submitted electronically.

After the FAA confirms that the complaint meets these requirements and the limitations in 14 CFR 13.3(d) and 13.5(a), it sends a copy of the complaint to the subjects of the complaint and gives them an opportunity to submit a written answer. If a complaint does not meet these requirements, it is considered a report of violation under 14 CFR 13.2. The FAA uses the information in the complaint and answer to determine if there are reasonable grounds for investigating the complaint. If the FAA determines there are reasonable grounds, the FAA proceeds with an investigation. If not, the FAA may dismiss the complaint and give the reason for dismissal in writing to both the person who filed the complaint and the subjects of the complaint. Respondents: Formal complaints are typically submitted by an individual or organization. Almost all formal complaints are evenly split between three basic categories (complainant listed first): Individual vs. individual, individual vs. organization, and organization vs. organization. Frequency: The FAA estimates this collection of information would result in about seven formal complaints per year based on FAA data. Estimated Average Burden per Response: The estimated average burden on the public for each complaint and response under § 13.5 is eight hours. It would take an individual about four hours to write a formal complaint acceptable under § 13.5. The FAA estimates it would take the subject of the complaint about four hours to write an answer to the complaint. The estimated average burden on the FAA for each complaint is eight hours. A complaint would take the FAA no more than four hours to review to confirm it meets the requirements as laid out in 14 CFR 13.5(b). The FAA would take an additional hour to send the complaint to the subjects of that complaint. The FAA would then take another estimated three hours to determine if an investigation would be necessary. Estimated Total Annual Burden: The FAA estimates the total annual combined (public + FAA) annual burden and cost of the information requirements to be about 112 hours and $7,030. For the public, the estimated total annual hourly burden would be 56 hours, and the estimated total annual cost burden would be about $2,506. For the FAA, the estimated total annual hourly burden would be 56 hours, and the estimated total annual cost burden would be about $4,524.
